Dear Dr. Pujar,
I am delighted to go through your blog and current activities undertaken by you. I must thank your supervisor Ms Catherine Fisher for motivating you for writing your reflections as a Common Wealth Fellow. To the best of my knowledge, no one so far has taken such an endeavor. I have seen researchers writing a piece of report while concluding the fellowship. However, blog such as yours will definitely showcase how to make the best use of the knowledge gained for the benefit of the professional community. My special thanks once gain to you and Ms Fisher for your vision, because the core principle of Library and Information Science is knowledge dissemination and there could be no other ideal way than put forth your impressions through web.
Prior to taking up the Common Wealth Fellowship, you have done splendid work in integration of the ICT and LIS at Shivaji University and IGIDR. With the insight gained through the fellowship, I am sure that you will be in a better position to give justice to the budding knowledge society in India especially when the rate of doubling the information is awesome.
I will keep on waiting for your updates on the blog.
All the best…
