==Family== While working in [[Rangoon]], [[Myanmar|Burma]] (Myanmar), K. R. Narayanan met Ma Tint Tint, whom he later married in [[New Delhi|Delhi]] on 8 June 1951. Ma Tint Tint was active in the [[YWCA]] and on hearing that Narayanan was a student of Laski, approached him to speak on political freedom before her circle of acquaintances. Their marriage needed a special dispensation from Nehru as per Indian law, because Narayanan was in the IFS and she was a foreigner. Ma Tint Tint adopted the Indian name ''Usha'' and became an Indian citizen. [[Usha Narayanan]] (1923β2008) worked on several social welfare programs for women and children in India and completed her Masters in Social Work from [[Delhi School of Social Work]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Her Excellency Tin Tin|url=http://www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?203801|access-date=25 February 2013|newspaper=The OutLook|date=2 July 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130609220229/http://www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?203801|archive-date=9 June 2013|url-status=live}}</ref> She also translated and published several [[Burmese language|Burmese]] short stories; a collection of translated stories by [[Thein Pe Myint]], titled ''Sweet and Sour'', appeared in 1998. She is the second woman of foreign origin to have become the [[First Lady]]. They have two daughters, [[Chitra Narayanan]] (Indian ambassador to [[Switzerland]] and [[The Holy See]])<ref>{{cite web |url=http://news.oneindia.in/2008/08/07/chitra-narayanan-concurrently-accredited-ambassador-to-holy-see-1218119649.html |title=Chitra Narayanan concurrently accredited Ambassador to Holy See |publisher=News.oneindia.in |date=7 August 2008 |access-date=10 January 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121009050939/http://news.oneindia.in/2008/08/07/chitra-narayanan-concurrently-accredited-ambassador-to-holy-see-1218119649.html |archive-date=9 October 2012 |url-status=live }}</ref> and Amrita.
