He was active on Facebook, specially with witty poems.

Since 1964, Shri. Haravu was pioneer in designing and implementing computer

IFLA
        WLIC Open Session (Dublin, Ireland)
Message-ID: 
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed
=== Submission deadline 15 March 2020 ===
Title of the Open session: Subject Access and Artificial Intelligence:
Enhancing
Competencies and Safeguarding Ethics
Organized by IFLA Sections "Knowledge Management" & "Subject Analysis and
Access"
IFLA WLIC, Dublin (Ireland), 15-21 August 2020 - https://2020.ifla.org/
Information and knowledge technologies and AI-based solutions, in
particular,
may assist or altogether replace manual procedures traditionally developed
and
performed by trained, educated professionals. Subject access to
information and
knowledge is particularly exposed to distortion and algorithm-imposed
restrictions. It is, therefore, critical for information professionals to
evaluate and put forward their own unique set of skills and to formulate
important questions in relation to the control that technology may have
over our
access to information and knowledge.
This Open Session provides a platform to discuss issues affecting the core
ethical and professional challenges.
Papers are invited on a range topics related to subject access and
application
of AI in the library domain. See details at https://bit.ly/2wcug4E
Deadline for abstract proposals  (max 400 words) 15 March 2020
Notification of acceptance 1 April 2020
Paper submission deadline 1 June 2020

Dear All,
It is very sad to know the demise of Shri Haravu. He was tech savvy and
guiding spirit for many professionals. I was fortunate to meet him first in
ICRISAT during our BLISc tour in 1989 and later in some of the workshops.
His contribution to the area of library automation is truly remarkable.
I pray God to rest his soul in peace.

S.M. Pujar
