by Dr. R. Venkata Kesavan 19 Jul '20

19 Jul '20

Dear Friends, July 17, 2020, was very a sad day for the LIS Fraternity in India, as we shockingly lost, one our talented LIS Pro. - Dr. H. Anil Kumar, a dear friend of mine for over two decades, now. Since my Ahmedabad days, I had been regularly interacting with Anil for more than 25 years now and I am sure that he was one of those few gifted individuals, who have been made for the LIS profession, which he loved more than anything else throughout his splendid career and contributed immensely! Anil was a very thorough professional, hardworking, kind-hearted and versatile personality and his untimely death is also a personal loss to me, as I have some nice memories interacting with Anil, which I shall continue treasure, like his other friends! RIP Anil! My deep condolences to Dr. Nishtha Anil Kumar & Family!. May The Almighty God give you all good strength, courage and guidance to carry on your own lives as well as Anil's legacy forward!

Sad Untimely Demise of Dr. H.Anilkumar Sir
by Vasanth 18 Jul '20

18 Jul '20

Dear Sir/Madam, Very sad to hear the sudden and untimely demise of Dr. H. Anil Kumar, Librarin IIM-A. He was very passionate about the profession and very sane voice in LIS. I was fortune to witness his lectures in few occasions in scholarly meetings. He had keen observations of the field and unlike others in the profession he was very much aware of the importance of physical space and print documents. He was trying to bridge the path of coexistence of both print and digital materials. This was very much evident through his lectures and presentations. Very recently I had attended one of the webinars where he was a panellist. He shared very interesting information and facts on library automation and Koha ILMS implementations in Indian context. Dr. Anil Kumar has also published a lot of good research papers in LIS. Interesting fact is that he was exploring the law/legal librarianship which is not much discussed or researched in India. His untimely demise is a great loss to LIS profession. My heartfelt condolences. Vasantha Raju N. Librarian Mysore

Sad demise of Dr.Anil Kumar, IIM-A Librarian
by Dr Anand Byrappa 18 Jul '20

18 Jul '20

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. *Anand Byrappa Ph.D.* Head - Office of Data and Library Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore 560012.

Homage to Anil Kumar, H.
by Sathyanarayana NV 18 Jul '20

18 Jul '20

Sadly, Anil Kumar departed for good from our world. Bright, bold and brilliant, he was like the Northern Star of LIS profession. I found him to be different and distinct. Full of ideas with out-of-the-box thinking and strong desire to see them implemented, he encouraged and supported quite a few start-ups, a classic example being RapidRadio. Listening to his talks was a provoking pleasure. I fondly remember and cherish my last meeting with him and Nishta (his wife) exactly an year ego. In spite of his health problem, he worked hard and smart in the last two years to see his library at IIMA transformed into a new age state-of-the-art digital library, retaining yet the traditional character of his physical library renowned for its architecture elegance. Anil will live and linger in our memories for long as the finest human being and a great librarian of our times. My personal condolences to the bereaved family. May his soul rest in peace. N. V.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Sad Demise of Dr. H Anil Kumar, Librarian, Vikram Sarabhai Library, IIM Ahmedabad
by Nagendra Kumar S. 18 Jul '20

18 Jul '20

Dear Friends and Professionals, I am really being pained and shocked to hear the news of the sad demise of Dr. H Anil Kumar, Librarian, Vikram Sarabhai Library, IIM Ahmedabad. This is a great loss to the library fraternity. Myself along with my two classmates had an opportunity to work along with him. After completion of our Master's degree, We have started our career as a trainee in VSL, IIM-A. We had learnt a lot by working in each and every section of the library and I particularly mention the dedication of VSL staff towards reaching library services to end users. We were 08 trainees came from the different part of the country and seeing their dedication to work in regular activities has changed our mindset and built a strength and confident to provide the best services as much as we can. After giving services and heard a good feedback and opinion from the students has motivated us to work even more. Whenever query comes whether day or night we were always active and tried to satisfied users immediately. Behind all these activities there is one and only army man is our respected Dr H. Anil Kumar Sir. He has a passionate, humble and committed professional, down to earth and keeping a smiling face always in his face will motivate us to talk and discuss. Anil sir has given us an equal priority to everyone to give their suggestion towards library implementation, Many times he involved himself with us to discuss and share his rich experiences to us. One thing I would like to say that, VSL IIMA has created a best platform for our career growth and whatever we are today because of all his selflessness teaching and guidance. But a coincidence is he has passed away unexpectedly on the same day (July 17, 1967 - July 17, 2020) of his birth. Six years ago we had celebrated but unfortunately, he is no more. On behalf of all our former trainees, I pray the Almighty to give enough strength to bear the loss of his bereaved family and may his soul rest in peace. With Regards., -- Mr. NAGENDRA KUMAR S. *(MLISc, PGDLAN, UGC-NET JRF, K-SET)* Library and Information Centre, National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Science *(NIMHANS),* An Institute of National Importance, Bangalore - 560029 Telephone: 080-26995035/5028 Mail: *nagendra(a)nimhans.ac.in <nagendra(a)nimhans.ac.in>* -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Few words for Shri H Anil Kumar
by Dhaval Kotecha 18 Jul '20

18 Jul '20

Few words for Shri H Anil Kumar <https://www.facebook.com/hanil.kumar.3?__cft__[0]=AZX02qzeUgINnRBym2if8gHYP…> He was much more than a Librarian, he was also...an Entrepreneur...a Mentor...an Innovator.. a Perfectionist...an Administrator...an Academician.. a Leader..an Advisor.. a Great Networker.. an out of the box Thinker.. a Founding team member of iCreate...an extremely affectionate and humble human being ... It is a personal and permanent loss for me and the whole family of RapidRadio. Everything that we know in the library market other than the word library has been taught by him. He picked up RapidRadio from NirmaLabs (which is now iCreate) and said why don't you guys develop RFID hardware for libraries and he helped us transform from a young technical team to a professional company in the library market competing with global giants today. Today RapidRadio has lost a father/mentor and I have lost a Guru/Friend. Personally i have known him from 2004 the day when i had joined NirmaLabs and since then it has never been more than a week when we have not interacted which continued until lately when he was not keeping well. He is one of the biggest reasons for RapidRadio's success & why RapidRadio is what it is today. Unfortunately he never gave an opportunity to thank him publicly for his contribution to RapidRadio due to conflict of interest. Sir...we will miss you from the bottom of our hearts in every success that we achieve in future. Today when i see his facebook wall, I can see maximum posts from various library trainees who had an opportunity to work under him at various libraries. It is the biggest proof that he loved to be with young minds and nurture them to a growth path. A Step into any library in future is going to remind us about you and your learnings which has shaped us as a team...We are indebted to all your contributions and would try to repay by working for the library fraternity. Om Shanti. -- Dhaval H Kotecha, Tushar Popat ,Nirav Karia, Dushyant Upadhyay & RapidRadio Family

Very shocking news. We lost our great library professional Dr. H Anil Kumar, Librarian, IIM, Ahmedabad due to COVID on his birthday. He was a wonderful person, very innovative Librarian, whenever he was speaking, he was focusing to content only, a Guru for library professionals.

Sad and Sudden Demise of Dr. H. Anil Kumar, Librarian of IIM Ahmedabad
by mgsree 18 Jul '20

18 Jul '20

Dear Colleagues, I am deeply saddened and shocked to hear about the sudden demise of Dr. H Anil Kumar, Librarian, Vikram Sarabhai Library, Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad on 17th July 2020 (Friday). Anil was at the prime period of his professional career, and with his unfortunate, untimely and unexpected passing, we have lost an extraordinary library leader, and a great human being, who was loved by all in the profession as well as from outside. Anil was one of the founding members of MANLIBNET, a strong pillar of the IIM Libraries Consortium, and an active member of the Asia Pacific Business School Librarians Group (APBSLG - in which IIMA, IIMK and ISB are members) and immensely contributed by engaging in constructive discussions/suggestions, through his thought provoking/insightful articles, and by holding/participating in highly impactful conferences/workshops/webinars. He was also serving in the advisory boards of several universities, institutions, professional associations and international publishing firms. Anil stood out in the professional circles because of his brilliant and intelligent discourses/debates, and was respected by all who have known him. He was known for his upright, bold and relentless stands always - no matter what the consequences, be. Anil has contributed immensely to all the libraries that he has worked in, and especially the Vikram Sarabhai Library at IIMA, which he has re-engineered and transformed into a world class library/information/innovation center. Anil has quite successfully groomed a number of start ups in the country, which has brought numerous laurels and respect to the profession too. He was a passionate, compassionate and committed professional and became a role model.

Sad untimely demise of Dr. H.Anilkumar

18 Jul '20

It is shocking and sad to know about the unfortunate and untimely demise of an eminent professional, and a humble human being. My heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family. May his soul rest in peace. - Francis ________________________________ From: LIS-Forum <lis-forum-bounces(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in> on behalf of Ashok Asundi <ashok_asundi(a)yahoo.com> Sent: 18 July 2020 11:04 To: lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in <lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in> Subject: [LIS-Forum] Sad untimely demise of Dr. H.Anilkumar External Email 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.
