Fw: Dr. Kamalavijayan : Condolences
by Sadasivan KP 20 Aug '09

20 Aug '09

Dear All, I join with the LIS fraternity in expressing my shock and deep sorrow on the untimely demise of Dr. Kamalavijayan ! He was a professional with a difference. He was a successful careerist and the secret behind that success was his unique leadership qualities and his deep understanding about the basics of strategies required to be developed and sustained for ensuring the right kind of equations with the people and the premises, which do really matter and, which, majority of our professionals fail to acquire / achieve. Right from the formative stages of his profession, he used to deviate from the traditional icons - be it men or systems or thought processes. This had undoubtadly attracted many professional friends to his fold and a few had perhaps raised their eye-brows too (which is quite natural) ! But he was unperturbed. His achievements spanning more than three decades proved beyond doubt that he was in the right track. His rich and diversified experience/expertise and his contributions were/are assets to the LIS domain. He was instrumental in conducting some of the major international & national programmes at a much higher level and dimension, thereby proving the ability of LIS professionals to perform beyond the conventional boundaries, if one has the true determination and initiative. I am sure, our LIS community had a feel of pride and happiness for his career achievement as General Manager (Library & Information Department), Reserve Bank of India, Mumbai, which, indeed, is a covetable position! I wished if he had lived longer and contributed more for the profession ! But life is like that.....

Open universities
by Baban Chavan 19 Aug '09

19 Aug '09

Dear Friends Open/distance education has opened the avenues for the people those who are denied opportunities by conventional system. Hence it is very sad decision by U.G.C.barring open universities to conduct the research programmes. In fact research programmes are self study course and hence there is no need to bring them in regular stream. Even in conventional system the people doing research work(Ph.D.) are mostly involved with the self study process with their supervisor. It is nothing but the open /Distance education. Present age is the web based and everything is becoming open throughout the world and same is the case with open education .The world is promoting open education through the open universitie. and here in india we are barring the open universities. Instead of doing this please rectify the faulty systems to avoid the monopoly of conventional education where doing Ph.D. is a deram for the common people. U.G.C. should reconsider its decision.This is with reference do Dr, G. Sarojas's posting.
