[LIS-Forum] Sad Demise of Dr. Cholin, INFLIBNET, UGC

[Dr. R M Vatnal]

We are shocked to know the sudden and untimely demise
of Dr. V S Cholin at the INFLIBNET Centre, Ahmedabad
yesterday forenoon. Dr. Cholin was a illustrious and
model student of the department whose disciplined life
and dedicated services are worth emulating by all the
professionals. He came up in the profession very fast
and exhibited the talent, skill and ability much
beyond his age. He was instrumental in promoting
INFLIBNET by propagating the UGC-INFLIBNET-INFONET
movement all over the country. Through his well
attended and well soughtafter lectures on Use of
E-Journals Awareness Programmes, he has attracted the
attention of active academic research and teaching
community and has carved a niche in the profession for
himself. During his Fulbright Fellowship Programme in
USA – Ohio link and Ohio State University, he has
utilized each and every second and minute for the
benefit of the INFLIBNET and has given a visibility to
the INFONET Programme. Dr. Cholin was a broad hearted
everloving professional friend who was always eager to
help the fresh graduates for placement. He has served
the cause of researchers to speedup their research by
making access to information beyond the four walls of
the library and across the borders of the country. In
a very short span of 5 years, Dr. Cholin has emerged
as a champion of the INFONET Consortia and by his
death the country and LIS profession in general and
Karnatak University in particular has lost a noble son
of the land. 

We are all aware of the grave situation the young
family of Dr. Cholin is facing in the days to come.
The loss is irreparable and unbearable. We all
sincerely pray Almighty to grace the strength and cool
mind to the family of the departed soul. 

We all are with Mrs. Hema Cholin and their 2 sons and
also with the entire family of Dr. Cholin to share
their sorrow. 

We offer our condolences to Mrs. Hema Cholin and pray
in lord that "May his soul rest in peace."
