Libraries Play a Vital Role in Expanding Knowledge: Dr. K.G. Veena

Virajpet, Aug. 16: Libraries not only increase our knowledge, but also play an important role in instilling new ideas and inculcating a good reading habit, said Dr. K.G. Veena, Principal of Virajpet Cauvery College.

Paying floral tributes to the portrait of Dr. S.R. Ranganathan, the father of Indian libraries, on his 134th birth anniversary in the college auditorium, he said that even in today's digital age, we must remember Dr. S.R. Ranganathan, the father of library science. In today's era of modern technology, we are gaining knowledge through libraries and the internet.

Reading books not only increases knowledge but also helps us understand new ideas. He said that time should be devoted to reading newspapers and books.

College librarian Dr. Muthamma said that the first person to develop and promote library science across India was Dr. S.R. Ranganathan. No one has cultivated libraries as much as he did. That is why he is called the father of library science in India. The reason why we see modern libraries in every gram panchayat is because of him. He said that if students spend more time with books in the library during their student life, their future life will be more knowledgeable.

On this occasion, I.P. Bindya, a B.Com. student, presented a paper on the life and achievements of Dr. R. Ranganathan.

On this occasion, the college's IQAC coordinator L.R. Raghavendra, the head of the Student Welfare Association Somanna, lecturers Akshita Naik, Bojamma, Vanitha, Manikya, Sunil, Pavithra, Bhumika, Lochana, Anupama, Gayathri, Babu, Akshara, administrative staff Somnath, Harish, Reshma and students of the college were present.
