[LIS-Forum] Sad Demise of Dr Velaga Venkatappaiah

[Puttaraj Choukimath]

Dear Sir/Madam/Friend,

My sincere pranams to Dr.Velaga Venkatappaih, the *champion of the Public
Libraries* from Andhra Pradesh, India.
I am really pity myself, for not having an opportunity to meet such a
wonderful LIS personality of our time..
I wish his noble soul may rest in the eternal peace.
The life and works of Dr.Venkatappaih shall always be inspiring any LIS
professionals.

In solidarity,
Puttaraj.
