Mr. Nayar was born as Karunakaran Pillai, one of the six children of Kandamkalathil Sankara Panicker and Parvathy Amma at Central Travancore ( present-day Kuttanad, Kerala ) in 1907. His orginal name was Karunakaran Pillai. But at school, there was another student with that name. Hence, the teacher changed his name from Pillai to Nair, "Pillai" is a title of nobility in Travancore, and "Nair" is his caste name. In his family, all others except him, have the family name Pillai.[5] He completed his early education from Sanatana Dharma Vidyashala, Alleppey, SMV High School, Thiruvananthapuram, University College Thiruvananthapuram (then under University of Madras) Barah Saini College, Aligarh (Agra University)(1954-56) and University College London (1928-30). After his school education was over, Nair and his elder brother, Raghavan moved to Thiruvananthapuram, where their eldest brother Gopal Pillai was already in the judicial service. Gopal wanted his brothers to continue studies. Nair obtained a degree honours with a gold medal. When Nair was 20, a marriage proposal came from an aristocratic family. After marriage, he went to Britain for higher studies. At the age of 21 he cleared Indian Civil Service.[5][4]
