Dear All,
It is a great feeling to know that Prof. D. Shivalingaiah, Registrar of
Tumkur University, has been appointed as the Vice-Chancellor of Karnataka
State Open University (KSOU), Mysore. He has assumed charge on Friday,
11th March 2016.
Prof. D. Shivalingaiah has held many academic and administrative positions
at Mangalore and Tumkur Universities before being appointed as the VC of
KSOU. A simple, unassuming, honest, and down to earth person, Prof.
Shivalingaiah may be the youngest VC of KSOU. Incidentally, he was also a
student of Prof. V.G. Talwar, former VC of Mysore University, another
stalwart in the profession. This may the first time that both the Guide
and his Researcher in the LIS Profession have risen to the position of
importance in the University System.
After obtaining Master's Degree in Library and information Science from
Bangalore University in 1985, Prof. Shivalingaiah worked briefly at the
NIMHANS, and later joined the Mangalore University as a Documentation
Officer In 1987. His other teaching and administrative positions include
the following:
He was appointed as a Reader, in the Department of Library and Information
Science Mangalore University in the year 1995 and in the year 2003, he was
appointed as the Professor of Library and Information Science at the
Mangalore University and he also served as the Chairman of the Department
during Jan 2006 to Dec 2007. His honesty, integrity and able
administrative capabilities got him several other positions of importance
such as the Deputy Registrar ( on Deputation) 1996 to 2005; Special
Officer 2005, Registrar Evaluation at Mangalore University. He was
appointed Registrar of Tumkur University in November 2009 and held that
position till he became the VC of KSOU. He has also held the positions of
Acting VC, Dean faculty of Science & Technology, and Honorary
Professorship at the Tumkur University.
Though Prof. Shivalingaiah has many achievements to his credit, few
important ones include:
Implementation of Gnanasangama, Smart Key - ICT initiatives of Higher
Education, Dept., Govt. Karnataka
Creation of good ICT facilities by setting up high-end servers such as
web server, mail server, antivirus server, digital library server,
University management software server and online journal server.
Tumkur University was the first University to implement UGC Ph.D.
Regulations (minimum standards and procedures for the award of Ph.D.
Degree) in 2009
Instrumental in getting recognition to the University Under Section 12(b)
of the UGC Act, 1956
Initiation of 73 skill development programmes under Modular Employability
Skills Programme of Directorate General of Employment and Training (DGET),
Govt. of India.
Successfully installed CCTV Cameras in the University Campus for security
measures and effective management of Administration
The Action taken to implement SAKALA and Transparency Affiliation process
has been recognized and appreciated by the Govt. vide letter No.ED 94
Praka 2014 dated 29th March, 2014. Other Universities in the State have
been informed to adopt Tumkur University Model.
As a very modest person, Prof. Shivalinagiah is loved and respected by one
and all for his personality and achievements. I am sure that under his
able leadership, the KSOU will raise to greater heights in its
achievements and bring in a positive change in quality of education and
research.
My hearty congratulations to Prof. Shivalingaiah.
With Regards,
Puttabasavaiah.
