Congratulations - Dr. R.Shivanna, Deputy Librarian (Retd.), Bangalore University - Rajyotsava Awardee 2010
by Syed Sajjad Ahmed 06 Nov '10

06 Nov '10

Dear Library Friends, The message from Dr. K. N. Prasad informing LIS fraternity about Dr. R. Shivanna getting the Rajyotsava Award for 2010 was indeed a great news to me personally and for other library professionals as well. I was his student of B.Lib.Sc. course during 1974-75. He was an excellent teacher, a good human being and a simple soul. He always encouraged and guided students both during the course and later for securing jobs. He had a long career both as faculty and Asst. librarian (later as Deputy Librarian) at the Bangalore University. In fact, I have'nt met him for many many years now, but when I saw this thrilling news, I planned to share my thoughts with my library friends. "My congratulations to him on getting this prestigeous Rajyotsava Award and pray for his long life and committement to library field". With best wishes from a former student, Sincerely yours, .
