Dear Sir/Madam and fellow professionals I am incredibly sorry to hear that Prof.S. Parthasarathy, former Director, INSDOC, is no more.

One hundred four years tallest personality in our field. I had a recent occasion to delivered a special lecture after him on 128 Birth Anniversary of Dr. S. R. Ranganathan and Librarian's Day 2020(Webinar) Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth (SBV) Deemed to be University, Pondicherry in association with Madras Library Association (MALA), Chennai. https://youtu.be/ZAeeDnToEME.

From: K.S. Raghavan ksragav(a)hotmail.com The members of the Boards of Trustees of the Sarada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science and the Ranganathan Centre for Information Studies (Chennai) regret to announce the passing of Prof. S. Parthasarathy, Former Head of INSDOC (CSIR). The end came on 12th April 2021, just a few months before his 104th birthday. A direct disciple and a close associate of Dr. S. R. Ranganathan, Prof. Srirangapattanam Parthasarathy was born on 23rd August 1917. He had his higher education at the University of Madras and University of Chicago. Before joining CSIR, Prof. Parthasarathy worked in the Delhi University Library and also taught as a Lecturer in the Department of Library Science of the University of Delhi. At INSDOC he was responsible for several innovative services and programmes including the INSDOC List and the Union Catalogue of Scientific Serials. He was also closely associated with the training programme of INSDOC leading to Associateship in Documentation. Prof. Parthasarathy was one of the key persons in organizing the FID / CR 3rd International Conference on Classification Research (held at BARC, Mumbai) in January 1975. He was also instrumental in setting up the documentation subcommittee of the Indian Standards Institution (now, Bureau of Indian Standards) and served as a member of the committee for many years. Several library / documentation related standards have been prepared by the committee. Prof. Parthasarathy was also a member of the UGC Review Committee on library science education in India (The report of the committee published under the title ‘Library Science in Indian Universities’ served as a model and framework for LIS education programmes in the country for several years). He was also a member of the UGC Committee on University libraries, which suggested standards for university libraries. Prof. Parthasarathy was active in several committees of the FID. He served as a member of the FID Committee on Developing Countries and also as a FID Council Member (1970-75). He also served as an expert / consultant in Africa to international organizations including UNIDO. He was an expert member in Documentation at the Industrial Development Centre for Arab States, Cairo. Prof. Parthasarathy was also one of the members of the Advisory Committee set up by the Department of Science & Technology (DST) of the Government of India for preparing the blueprint for NISSAT. After his retirement from INSDOC. Prof. Parthasarathy served as an Honorary professor at DRTC, Indian Statistical Institute, Bangalore for some time. He moved to Chennai in 1977 and remained active till the very end. He was an active member of the Madras Library Association and was the guiding force in organizing several programmes under its banner including the All India Library Conference of ILA (1991) held in Chennai in the birth centenary year of Dr. Ranganathan of which he was the Director. He was also one of the key persons in the organization of the 2nd International ISKO Conference held in Chennai in 1992. He played an important role in the creation of the documentary on S. R. Ranganathan (brought out by the Madras Library Association in 1992 as part of the birth centenary celebrations of Dr. Ranganathan). He was one of the founder trustee of the Ranganathan Centre for Information Studies (Founded by Bharat Ratna Sri C. Subramanian in association with Prof. M. S. Swaminathan, Prof. M. Anandakrishnan, Prof. A. Neelameghan and others). Prof. Parthasarathy had also been a long-time trustee of the Sarada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science and has been instrumental in organizing many of its activities including the ISKO International Conference held in the University of Mysore in 2012 and SRR@125: Revisiting Ranganathan: An International Conference held at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras in 2017. Prof Parthasarathy was actively involved in planning and implementing higher education programmes. He was one of the members of the Board of Management of the MOP Vaishnav College for Women, Chennai and took keen interest in planning the programmes and activities of the College. Even at age 100, he was an avid reader and would regularly visit the American Library, the British Council Library, and the Madras University Library. He was a regular at the conferences of the Indian Library Association and IASLIC. To honour this legend, a festschrift was brought out in 2009 (Library and Information Systems: From Alexandrian Heritage to Social Networking). In his passing the profession has lost a tall leader, a visionary, and a great human being. K. S.

Prof. S. Parthasarthy
by Ashok Asundi 15 Apr '21

15 Apr '21

Dear All Professionals, It is very sad news, to know that Prof.S. Parthasarthy, former Head,INSDOC is no more. Probably that was the last link connecting Dr. SRR with the entire professional chain of veterans who worked closely with the father of library science. I am fortunate of being studied at INSDOC and I had the first meeting with him in Delhi and posed me a very warm welcome. Since then he has had lasting memory about our first meeting and that was his legacy. Even with that age he was agile professionally and actively participated in the meetings which attended. Never used spects, his hearing was not much diminished and one would recall Sir MV whenever we met him. Thank you Prof.K.S.Raghavan, by giving us Prof. Parthasarthy's key achievements and prestigious positions he held in the profession. The profession is getting depleted with the loss of such personalities. Pray Almighty let Prof. SP soul rest in peace. Prof.A.Y.Asundi

Sri S Parthasarathi -- The most loved LIS professional is no more
by Mohan Hr 14 Apr '21

14 Apr '21

The Grand Old Man of Library Sciences by far the best seen in India in the last century Sri S Parthasarathi of Triplicane Chennai, aged 104 years attained his Acharyan Thiruvadi at Hydrabad this morning. Even at a 100++ age he would travel by MTS-Bus and train. He has been a role model to many LIS Professional and IT Professionals like me. He used to keep himself updated with all developments and share with his contacts. He is an excellent motivator and used to encourage people. He has supported and reviewed many library, indexing, special publication initiatives in which I was involved at The Hindu. I miss him very badly. I pray HIS ALMIGHTY to shower HIS blessings on the departed soul to rest in peace. With deep regrets -- HR Mohan -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Sad demise of D R Kulkarni, Ex-Manager, British Council Library (BCL), Ahmedabad
by Prakash K 13 Apr '21

13 Apr '21

Dattatreya R Kulkarni started his career with INFLIBNET Centre in 1994 as Library Professional on a temporary assignment. I also became his colleague, at a later stage. Later, he joined ABB Ltd, Baroda as Library Officer and worked for a brief period. He joined British Council Library, Ahmedabad as Assistant Librarian, later he becomes Deputy Manager and Manager contributed significantly to developing BCL, Ahmedabad. Along with Satish Deshpande, the BCL was a very active and happening place for many years with so many activities such as Book clubs, Movies, Writer groups, etc. It was also the dominant UK education hub. He served British Council Library as Manager till it was closed (2019). He was working as Deputy Librarian (2020-) for SVKM's Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies (NMIMS) Developing a Public Library for the city of Shirpur on the lines of BCL. He did M.L.I.Sc. from Karnatak University, Dharwad in the year 1992. He was a very humble, efficient, helpful professional. He was also helpful in making many young professionals as BCL Trainees. D R Kulkarni became a victim of Covid19 and he breathed last on 8th April 2021 at about 8.30 pm. It is very unfortunate that at the prime age the Library profession has lost him. I pray God Almighty to rest his soul in peace and give enough strength to bear this great loss to his family members. ---------------------------------- Dr. K Prakash Librarian Karnataka State Open University Mukthagangotri Mysuru – 570006 Email: prakash_k(a)yahoo.com | Web: http://ksoumysuru.ac.in/ <http://www.ksoumysore.edu.in/> Tel: 0821-2510953(Dir) | EPBX: 0821-2500873, 2519952 Extn.: 530 Cell: 9448066788 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
