Assertion (A) : Dr. S.R. Ranganathan has been called 'Father of Library and Information Science' in India.
Reason (R) : Library Science education in India was started by Dr. S.R. Ranganathan.
Answer: B
The assertion is true and the reason is false, so the answer is B.
Ranganathan is called the father of library and information science in India for his Five Laws, the Colon Classification and the Classified Catalogue Code, and for his teaching.
Library science education in India did not begin with him. Training courses were started earlier, at Baroda in 1911 under W. A. Borden and at Lahore in 1915 under Asa Don Dickinson; Ranganathan began the course at Madras University in 1929. So the reason is false.
