[LIS-Forum] Sad demise of Dr.Anil Kumar, IIM-A Librarian

[Dr Anand Byrappa]

Dear All,

It’s difficult to believe Dr. Anil Kumar, IIM A Librarian is no more.

His recent  webinar presentation on “transformation of libraries”  for
Karnataka Sate Library Association is still in front of my eyes.  IIM
Ahmedabad Library is one of the finest examples for transformation ...
Those who visited his library understand this better..in my mind, the new
transformed IIM A library remains to be a synonym to my friend Anil.

As Prof Asundi rightly mentioned, Anil was a gift to the schools he
studied, institutions he worked and to the LIS professor in India. We all
miss a dependable LIS leader.

Anil was my senior at Bangalore University. A good friend and a mentor. We
worked together on couple of initiatives. He was known for clarity, vision
and candidness. He was an excellent host and very humble human being. It
takes some time for me to believe that he is no more...

Let’s Pray almighty to give strength to his family to bear the loss and
also to rest his soul in peace.

Best Regards,

Anand.
