Yes of course it is totally justifiable because Dr. S. R. Ranganathan has done such a remarkable job for the development of Library Science as a discipline and as a profession as well. He is an outstanding personality and a role model for present and future genre of library and information professionals. When we can celebrate the birthday of Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan, who was an eminent academician and educationist as teachers' day then why can't we associate librarians' day with birthday of Dr. S. R. Ranganathan. I think it is enough to justify.

Ya, it is right to associate the Librarians Day with the birth of Ranganathan because it is the people like him who have laid the foundation of library science. We are proud of him for what he has done to develop this profession and his contribution is known worldwide.

When November 11 as the 'National Education Day', commemorating the birthday of Maulana Abdul Kalam Azad, and 5 september which is birthday of Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan is celebrated as teachers day all over the country then why can't we associate librarians' day with birthday of Dr. S. R. Ranganathan, father of library science in India.

I think it is completely justifiable to associate the Librarians day with the birth date of SRR. Librarianship in India can be equated to Dr. S R Ranganathan.

First of all, a great salute to Dr. S.R. Ranganathan.

Just go through the publications of Dr.SRR. These are really amazing works. Actually there is no proper further development in his works. He is still very much commended by foreign scholars and experts. His theory gives wide options for further research areas.

We need to understand the efforts He put in to improve this field and it must be carried for the next generation with required improvements.
