Sad untimely demise of Dr. H.Anilkumar
by Ashok Asundi 18 Jul '20

18 Jul '20

All LIS Professionals, With utmost agony I convey the sad demise of Dr. H.Anilkumar, Librarian, Indian Institute of Management, Ahmadabad. I have loss to words to express my personal grief in losing him and I feel it is a personal loss to me, as he was one of the most adorned student of Bangalore University, DLISc., and feel proud to say he was my one of the most gifted student. Very humble down to earth, never considered any work related to the profession dwarfing his image or position and accepted them with professional approach. I was his family friend and more than that his father Dr. G.Hanumappa, Professor at ISEC was also a scholar to reckon with, we knew him personally well. Dr. Anilkumar for some time worked in NLSIU and then moved to Ahmedabad, British Library and later joined Nirma University where he made a name and showed his professional excellence. Once I happen to meet the former Vice Chancellor of that university, and mentioned to him that Dr. Anil was our student, his most remarkable gesture was that we have given a wonderful librarian to them. Later he moved to IIM-A the most coveted position every one desired to get. Very recently Dr. Anil presented a Webinar session under KALA and it was one of the most enchanting lecture and he gave a new perspective for what is "Physical Library" and how to reorient it in the times of ICT boom. He also recalled his close association with KALA and thanked it for giving him required career guidance. It is very difficult here to present all his achievements in this short span. We happen to visit him at Ahemadabad at his home and it was coming together and pleasant time for all of us. With deep sense of sorrow and horrid feeling that Corona has snatched away one of the gifted professional with several years of his services available, We on behalf of Karnataka State Library Association, President, Secretary and other members of the EC and Governing Council and all Members and also on behalf of the Department of Library and Information Science, Bangalore University, as its former Head, convey our heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family, in particular his beloved Wife, Dr. Nishtha Anil Kumar. Pray God His Soul Rest in Peace. Prof. A.Y.AsundiPresidentKarnataka State Library Association Executive Committee, Governing Council and All Members,and also DLISc,Bangalore University,All past and present faculty and Alumni and Students
