He undertook four 'padayatras' stressing the need for synchronizing various rivers in the country, covering more than 2,000km. M.S. Udayamurthy had endeared himself to Tamil readers with many of his articles like "Thattungal Thirakkappadum" and "Unnal mudiyum Thambi -Nambu" published in Ananda Vikatan in the eighties. His books carried motivating messages for the nation and the youngsters. Some of his books are in the curriculum of universities and schools in Tamil Nadu. He was indeed a visionary.
