Discussion
Arrange chronologically the following universities where Library Science Education was started in India :
(i) Banaras Hindu University
(ii) Gujarat University
(iii) Madras University
(iv) Delhi University
Answer: D
The chronological order is (iii) (i) (iv) (ii): Madras, Banaras Hindu University, Delhi, Gujarat.
Madras University took over the library science course begun by S.R. Ranganathan and the Madras Library Association, and ran it as a university course from 1931. Banaras Hindu University began its diploma course in 1941, and Delhi University started its department of library science in 1946, where Ranganathan later built the first master's and doctoral programmes.
Gujarat University was itself founded only in 1949, so its course is the latest of the four. Every option that puts Gujarat or Delhi before Madras is therefore wrong.
