Prof A. K . Baradol, a mentor and teacher par excellence
by Gopakumar Velayudhanpillai 21 Feb '20

21 Feb '20

Dear professional friendsBy now all of you might have come to know about the sad demise of Prof (Dr.) Ashoka Kallappa Baradol, former Chairman and Professor of the Department of Library and Information Science at Mangalore University. I had the privilege of doing my Ph.D. under his guidance at Mangalore University. I would like to write a few lines about him as a mark of my respect for my teacher. I met him for the first time in the month of April 2004 for the preliminary discussions regarding my Ph.D. project. It was through Prof C. V. Rajan Pillai, former University Librarian and the Head of the Department of Library and Information Science of M G University, I got his contact. Prof. Baradol accepted me as a research scholar as I was a science graduate. It was because of his initiative that I could do my Ph.D. under the FIP program of the UGC. We spent together for 33 months in completing the research work. Every afternoon he used to sit with me discussing the top ic as well as about the profession as a whole. Literally, he has gone through every word in my thesis. He was very happy with the outcome and was keen to see that it is evaluated by foreign referees. During those discussions, I always found that he was worried about the quality of academics happening in our field. He was never ready for any sort of shortcut to achieve something. He was reluctant to close his eyes to such practices too. Those days, pacifying him from severe reactions was my duty and in most of those situations, he reluctantly obliged to me. He had problems with his health during that period also. But he was very punctual in reaching his office and for engaging his classes. In fact, I learned a lot from him.Now I know, Guiding a Ph.D. is not alone helping the scholar in finalizing a thesis and getting the degree..It has more manifestations. You can really develop a person's career, involvement, attitude, etc towards his profession. If I have made success in some of my activities after my Ph.D., I owe all those to Prof. Baradol A message of this nature is not enough to express my gratitude to the departed soul. His demise is a great loss to the profession and a huge loss to me personally. May his soul rest in peace.   Dr. GOPAKUMAR V.University Librarian, Goa UniversityTaleigao Plateau, Goa.
