A Mysorean; Masters in Library Science (Benaras Hindu University); Doctorate (Mysore University); former faculty and Chairman, Mysore University, LIS Department; a teacher, research guide and a businessman
He was my teacher, in Library School at Mysore University, who taught me the passion and showed me how to sustain it for life.
He also initiated me into the area of Library History--that eventually led to my D.Litt degree (Agra, 1999). So great was his contribution in my life.
Pray that his soul rest in peace, Amen.
