Dear Friends, I would like to join to congratulate Prof. A. Amudhavalli, called Mam A.A. ‘My Hearty Congratulations’ to our respected and beloved Prof. A. A on the occasion of her happy retirement after a memorable and golden teaching service imparted to many students. I was her student in DLIS, University of Madras, in the period of 1988-1990. During my studentship I have never missed Prof. A.A Mam’s lectures. Her lectures used to be very informative and resourceful. Dear teacher…your teachings and services to LIS profession will forever be treasured, can never be measured. I thank God for having blessed me to learn from such an awesome teacher in my life. I pray to Almighty to bestow His blessings on her for a happy and healthy retired life. Best wishes, With regards, R.

During her almost four decades of eventful and productive professional service to Library & Information Science, the longest inning was with the University of Madras, which has the rare distinction and identity in our profession owing to its founder Dr. SRR and its accomplished successors. Prof. Amudhavalli has held many key positions in the Department of Library & Information Science, and in the University of Madras and at MALA (Madras Library Association). She has given her might and contributed relentlessly in enhancing as well as keeping the highest standards and traditions of the Department, which has earned substantial respect during the years. Truly a star professor and a multifaceted Guru, that transcend the LIS Profession, she has selflessly and boundlessly enabled and empowered many universities/institutions/professional associations in the country and abroad, in many capacities. She has also intelligently taught and meticulously coached thousands of students and also produced many M.Phils and Ph.Ds. Madam, we will indeed miss you in the Department but your words of wisdom, the timeless knowledge that you have imparted and the ever green principles you held in high esteem, will never be forgotten by your colleagues and students. WISHING YOU THE BEST OF LUCK, A VERY HAPPY, PEACEFUL AND HEALTHY LIFE AHEAD! M.G.
