Sad Demise of Mr. S.Thammaiah,
by Ashok Asundi 16 May '21

16 May '21

To All LIS Professionals, It is very sad to know that Mr. S.Thammaiah, former Director, Dept. of Public Libraries, Karnataka expired on Thursday, 13th May 2021 at his home in Nandini Layout. Though a very active professionals but in recent years he almost had lost contact with his fraternity. Mr. Thammaiah completed his B.Lib.Sc. from Karnatak University, Dharwad, in 1966. He was one of the earliest to serve the Department, as the Public Libraries Act came in being in 1966. He was one among the few from the Department who had a thorough knowledge of the Karnataka State Public Libraries Act, 1965. Mr. Thammaiah served the department in various capacities, from Technical Assistant to Director of the Department, and had also served as Chief Librarian (Now Dy Director) in Mangalore, Gulbarga and Bangalore Jayanagar City Central Library. His unique achievement in the Department was to undertake a computerised Stock Verification of 20 Lakh books the entire collection under the City Central Library Jayanagar and its Branches, then using the dBASE-IV DBMS progrmming. On behalf of Karnataka State Library Association, and on behalf of its members I offer my heartfelt condolences at the sad demise of Mr. Thammaiah. and to his bereaved family to bear the loss. Pray All mighty His Soul Rest in Peace. Prof. A.Y.AsundiPresident,Karnataka State Library Association.

Dear Friends, I am deeply saddened to hear the passing away of Mr. Dandapani, the former Librarian of the British Library, Bangalore. He was a dynamic, enterprising, and indeed a very popular librarian in Bangalore during his tenure as a Librarian. He had made the British Library almost like a "Talk of the Town". When I was working with the British Council Library, Mumbai in the 1980s, I used to meet him frequently and could notice his leadership qualities and remember his ever smiling face and caring attitude. With his demise, the LIS profession has lost one of the admired librarians. I pray God to give his family members enough strength and courage to bear this loss. May the noble soul rest in peace. Om Shanti.

Mr Dhandapani was served 35 years at British Library at various position. He was a English Teacher in Tamil Nadu after obtaining his BTE degree ( Bachelor of Teacher in English)later he moved to British Library. Mr Dhandapani is a committed and service focused Librarian. Great Human being, a model Librarian, in 1989-90 when I was working in the British Library was renovated and inaugurated by Prince Charles and Diana under his leadership. He was a great administrator, leader and founding member of the Association of British Scholars, Bangalore, where I was worked under his leadership as Secretary- Finance for the association. He had close associate with bureaucrats like Mr Mr Raghuram, former Home Secretary, Mr Bhattacharya, Former Chief Secretary, Mr Nijamuddin Former DGP, Govt of Karnataka and we use to go to drink coffee at Koshys restaurant. He was recognized with an MBE ( Member of British Empire,)for his outstanding & exemplary service to the community by the British Monarchy. I had long association with Dhandapani, who has been a hearted human being always helpful. I express my deep sense of condolences to his family. We sincerely convey our grief on the sad demise of the great person. We all wish the almighty god to rest his soul in peace. It's a huge loss to Library & Information Science Profession.
