Short Biography of Padmashri Dr.S.R.Ranganathan
Ranganathan, born on 12th August 1892, came from a moderate background in
British-ruled India. He wasb born in the small town of Shiyali (now known as
Sirkazhi), in the state of Tamil Nadu in southern India.
Ranganathan began his professional life as a mathematician; he earned B.A.
and M.A. degrees in mathematics from Madras Christian College
in his home province, and then went on to earn a teaching
license. His lifelong goal was to teach mathematics, and
he was successively a member of them mathematics
faculties at universities in Mangalore, Coimbatore and
Madras (all within the span of five years).
As a mathematics professor, he published a handful of
papers, mostly on the history of mathematics. His career
as an educator was somewhat hindered by a
handicap of stammering (a difficulty Ranganathan
gradually overcame in his professional life). The
Government of India awarded padmashri to Dr. S.R.
Ranganathan for valuable contributions to Library Science.
Five Laws of Library Science:

(1892-1972), who had spearheaded library development in India.

“The library was a doorway to freedom, to free thought. When you’re being taught, “you can’t, you can’t, you can’t” … the library says, “you can, you can, you can.” And I did.”
