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...

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.

I remember Shri MN Seetharaman of NAL from my DRTC days (1977-78). He used
to attend our weekly colloquia and appreciate the exercise that we students
do for the colloquia. He also used to provide his inputs on the topic of
colloquia. We, DRTC students, also often used to visit the NAL library. I
had an opportunity to meet him last at the ILA seminar that he organised
while at IIT Madras. But then once had a long chat with him over the phone
that Dr. Goudar linked me to him. He was then actively contributing to a
spiritual magazine. He even sent me a ecopy of that magazine.
Interestingly, after a gap of several years he remembered me! Very unique
personality and friendly with everyone.
Om Shanti.

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.
