Dear Professionals, Let us congratulate Mr. P.Y. Rajendra Kumar (soon he will be Dr. P.Y. R.) for occupying the prestigious post of Director General, National Library of India (NLI). I had a quick glance of history of NLI on its official website at http://www.nationallibrary.gov.in/nat_lib_stat/history.html and found that he is the* first full time DG of NLI with LIS background*. Earlier, myself as a member of SLA, Karnataka, have seen him and his leadership quality closely. I am sure with his 40 years of rich experience in various capacities in different organisations, specifically as Director of DPL, Karnataka, he will be in a position give a good leadership to NLI and give new direction to its services. He has won several awards including Aryabhata Award, Indira Priyadarshini Award, Ranganathan-Kaula Librarian Award, Government of Karnataka's Best Librarian Award, etc. He also served KALA as its President. PYR, we are proud of you, keep it up. Regards, -- Dr. I.R.N.
