It is with great joy and pride
that I announce the honor bestowed upon me: receiving the prestigious Best
Librarian Award for the year 2072/073. This esteemed recognition, presented by
the Ministry of Education on August 31, 2016, coinciding with Library Day,
highlights my efforts in advancing library technology across Nepal.
Trailblazing
Library Automation
Driven
by a deep-seated passion for literacy and knowledge dissemination, I embarked
on a mission to modernize library operations throughout Nepal. Through my
leadership, I introduced Koha, a cutting-edge library management system, which
has since become integral to library automation nationwide. Koha empowers
librarians to efficiently catalog, circulate, and manage resources,
significantly improving access to information for all.
Empowering
Communities Through Technology
My
commitment to leveraging technology for the greater good extends beyond mere
digitization. By democratizing access to information through Koha, I have
transformed libraries into vibrant centers of learning and community
engagement. This innovative approach fosters lifelong learning and intellectual
curiosity among patrons, enriching our communities.
Recognition
and Gratitude
The Best
Librarian Award is a humbling acknowledgment of my dedication to advancing
librarianship in Nepal. I am deeply grateful for the support and recognition
from colleagues, educators, and library enthusiasts nationwide. This award
reaffirms my commitment to promoting literacy and access to knowledge for all.
Continuing
the Journey
As we
celebrate this milestone, I am excited to continue the journey of enhancing
library services in Nepal. With innovation and dedication, I am committed to
leveraging technology to further enrich the lives of individuals and communities
through enhanced access to information and education.
Conclusion
Receiving
the Best Librarian Award is a testament to my dedication to advancing library
technology in Nepal. I am honored to have played a role in transforming
libraries into dynamic centers of learning and community engagement. Let us
continue to harness technology for the greater good, empowering communities
through access to knowledge and information.
