Gautam Buddha was born in Nepal, lumbini. His family name is Siddhārtha Gautam, the person who began the religion of Buddhism.Gautama Buddha, also known as Siddhārtha Gautama, Shakyamuni, or simply the Buddha, was a sage on whose teachings Buddhism was founded.The word Buddha means "awakened one" or "the enlightened one". "Buddha" is also used as a title for the first awakened being in a Yuga era.Gautama is the primary figure in Buddhism and accounts of his life, discourses, and monastic rules are believed by Buddhists to have been summarized after his death and memorized by his followers. Recollection of nine virtues attributed to the Buddha is a common Buddhist meditation and devotional practice called Buddhānusmṛti. Dr.Shiyali Ramamrita Ranganathan ; 12 August 1892 – 27 September 1972) was a mathematician and librarian from India. His most notable contributions to the field were his five laws of library science and the development of the first major analytic colon-synthetic classification system, the colon classification. He is considered to be the father of library science, documentation, and information science in India and is widely known throughout the rest of the world for his fundamental thinking in the field. His birthday is observed every year as the National Library Day in India. He was a university librarian and professor of library science at Benares Hindu University (1945–47) and professor of library science at the University of Delhi (1947–55). The last appointment made him director of the first Indian school of librarianship to offer higher degrees. He was president of the Indian Library Association from 1944 to 1953. In 1957 he was elected an honorary member of the International Federation for Information and Documentation (FID) and was made a vice-president for life of the Library Association of Great Britain. With universities failing to provide timely and proper details required by the All India Survey on Higher Education (AISHE) for four years since this exercise began, the Human Resource Development Ministry has decided to use its financial control to make them fall in line. And, has also empowered itself to take punitive action.
Universities — the Central, the State and deemed-to-be under Section 3 of the University Grants Commission (UGC) Act, 1956 — have been warned that they could face a 25 per cent cut in grant-in-aid if they failed to upload the necessary information required by AISHE in time. Since such warnings in the past have fallen on deaf ears, the Ministry in June-end notified a fresh set of rules — The UGC (Furnishing of Information by Universities) Rules 2015 — to give the commission more teeth in dealing with non-compliance. Punitive action Apart from cutting grant-in-aid, the UGC and, even the Ministry, is now empowered to take punitive action for not just non-compliance, but also providing inaccurate or wrong data. The details that universities are expected to furnish include their academic schedule, student and faculty strength, admission parameters, facilities provided, annual accounts, courses, vacancies and foreign collaborations. Though the Ministry’s decision to wield the stick has raised eyebrows in the university eco-system, UGC member M.M. Ansari said only a third of the universities would be covered under the notification.
