On August 12, 2025, Trimurti Arts, Commerce, and Science College paid tribute to Dr. S. R. Ranganathan, widely regarded as the Father of Indian Library Science. The college celebrated the birth anniversary of this esteemed figure, who was not only a distinguished librarian but also a renowned mathematician and educationist.
Dr. Ranganathan’s life was dedicated to revolutionizing the field of library science. He developed groundbreaking concepts and theories, most notably the Five Laws of Library Science, which have become fundamental principles in the global library community. His visionary work transformed libraries from mere storage houses of books into dynamic, indispensable centers of knowledge and learning. He believed that every book has a reader and every reader has a book, and that a library is a living, growing organism.
By celebrating Dr. S. R. Ranganathan’s Jayanti, Trimurti College reaffirms its commitment to promoting the importance of libraries and the systematic organization of knowledge. His legacy continues to inspire students and educators to value research, information literacy, and the crucial role that a well-organized library plays in academic and intellectual growth. The event served as a reminder that the pursuit of knowledge is a sacred journey, one that is beautifully supported by the principles championed by Dr. Ranganathan.
