The golden jubilee celebrations of the Department of Information and Library Science, University of Mysore was a grand affair as its past students, from various places, converged in Mysuru for a rare union to make the occasion unforgettable.
The Department is second among the State universities to celebrate its golden jubilee fete, which was launched in June last year. Mysore University Information and Library Science Alumni Network (MILAN) had been constituted to celebrate the occasion.
The department was founded in 1965 and at least 2,500 students have passed out since its inception.
After a year-long celebration that included seminars, workshops, special lectures and so on, the stage is set for three-day valedictory ceremony which began with ‘MILAN Walk’ in Manasagangotri campus here on Thursday.
Vice-chancellor K.S. Rangappa flagged off the walk and also walked along with the participants, including faculty members, past and present students. This was followed by a round-table conference and an international seminar.
Over 300 delegates are attending the three-day event.
