" Dr. S.R. Ijari is no more". A news difficult to digest. My association with him ran for more than four decades. He was a great motivator and a down to earth practical person; very considerate and affectionate. He was more like a friend to me than a teacher. The loss will be felt by his students and other associates for many many years. I pray God to keep his soul rest in peace. K.N.
