Sri LJ Haravu had a wonderful librarianship. I recall, during Eighties, his library at ICRISAT, patancheru was one of the favourite hot spots for library students / researchers for its automation, richness in content and his willingness to share good practices. So its time we celebrate his work and contributions !! RIP Haravu Bp prakash Ashoka University On Wed, 4 Mar 2020 at 5:53 PM, chudamani kuppahalli < kschudamani@rediffmail.com> wrote:

It’s sad to hear the news about the sudden death of Shri Haravu. He is indeed a great library professional and a true ICT expert apart from being a loving and unassuming human being. I am proud and lucky to be associated with him as a friend.
We have really lost a great library professional of our time. May his soul rest in peace.
