We've created this page on the occasion of his first death anniversary to remember Kamat's yeoman's service to advance science in India.

Kamat also wrote widely in local magazines about animals, environment, and ecology in the Kannada language to raise the awareness of the population. His books Prani-Parisara (Animals and Environment), Iruveya Iruvu (on Ants), Keeta Jagattu (World of Insects) are first books on the topic to appear in Kannada.
