Congratulations and best wishes to 'MyDLIS' of Mysore University on their Golden Jubilee Celebrations. We all know that, It takes quite a lot of effort, determination and leadership skill to organize events of this magnitude. And many of us have noticed that, to MyDLIS, it has become a habit! - Lot of credit goes to their luminary alumni members, namely Prof. Shalini Urs, NV Sathyanarayana, Prof. VG Talwar & MyDLIS staff and so on... Great to see MyDLIS celebrating Golden jubilee. As Dr. Harinarayana mentioned they are in a festive mood and have planned a grand event not only for their Alumni but also for the profession. I believe that, this effort of Mysore University and MyDLIS is an inspiration for others and also sets a benchmark - for celebrations - in terms of scope, size, scale & magnitude of the event. The role & importance of alumni associations in modern days is very significant and is best understood and benefitted by very few LIS schools in India. I guess, MyDLIS of Mysore university stands in the front row. Coming to the views/comments by Dr. IRN Goudar, it appears that, he intended/suggested to offer opportunity/platform for MyDLIS alumni. Dr. Hari and Vasanth have already answered by expressing their views. Good to read lively, candid & open discussions on the forum. Again, we wish MyDLIS all the best and have a very successful, memorable and a learning meet.
