Minor update on 25 Nov. 2024 SSSIHL/SSSU (Sathya Sai University) ID cards (with face blurred) during my (Ravi S. Iyer) free service from Jan. 2003 to Mar. 2012 with designations of Hon. Staff, Hon. Faculty and Visiting Faculty. I have blurred the face in my above photo IDs as I prefer to lead a reclusive and low profile life in the real physical world.

DMACS stands for Department of Mathematics and Computer Science and is the department I was associated with during my entire stint though I also taught some software lab. courses in the Physics department. SSSIHL (Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning) name changed to SSSU (Sri Sathya Sai University) and then back to SSSIHL during the course of my stint. But the institution was the same. ----- My Internet social media channels and contact informatio...
