Sri M. N. Seetharaman was an exemplary professional with deep insight.
He used to actively participate in all DRTC programs during my student days
and his rich experience benefited every one. He was very approachable and
many young librarians used to consult him on professional matters.. And he
has built a world class information centre in Aeronautics which our country
is proud of. Though I have not been in touch with him since decades, I am
aware, he has continued to be up-to-date in LIS subjects besides
contributing to spirituality. May his soul rest in peace.

MNS, a Great librarian. It was after visiting his library and talking to him that I started organising Reports and Pamphlets collection in IDL Technical Library. He impacted everyone who came into his orbit. Dr P Vyasamoorthy / 9490804278

The shocking demise of Sri. M N Seetharaman, popular as MNS, has left the LIS community devoid of a dynamic n great visionary.. MNS , a personality with many accomplishments n credits to the L&IS profession built an Art of the Center Information Center @ NAL of International repute starting with 3 almirahs of documents to the 2nd biggest n exhaustive Library in the country, perhaps next only to IISc... A great visionary, he implemented IT applications in day to day service functions way back in 70s..ESA Online retrieval databases , Italy; DIALOG databases, USA, etc.. He initiated SDI based profile construction services, a highly popular one with the NAL scientists...Thanks to his rapport and camaraderie with the Management Council at NAL, he could achieve to take it to great heights @ the center... He was a voracious reader n kept himself updated in all spheres of knowledge...He was a spontaneous extempore person on any given topic at any time.. Besides his professional reputation, on the personal front he was a very lively n joyful person by nature, very active always on his toes..Seldom he used to get angry although he was a hard taskmaster.. A very pious n religious person with proficiency in Sanskrit ( he was editing articles in a Sanskrit journal), he kept himself engaged till the last day .. One can write an encyclopedia depicting all his achievements n accomplishments..Such was the personality n LEGEND Sir MNS was... I being a beneficiary of his guidance, inspiration, motivation n above all his greatness being a human offer my NAMANA n PRANAM to him... May your Aatman attain shanthi n Sadagati.. Om Shanthi 🙏🙏
