13 Jan '06

Dear friends, Today morning when I saw Vijaya Karnatak news paper , I shocked to know the sudden and untimely demise of Dr. V S Cholin at the INFLIBNET Centre, Ahmedabad I pray Allmighty to give strength to his family members to bear this great loss. I request all of you to join me in my prayers for peace to the departed soul.

Dr. Cholin was a illustrious and model student of the department whose disciplined life and dedicated services are worth emulating by all the professionals.

He was instrumental in promoting INFLIBNET by propagating the UGC-INFLIBNET-INFONET movement all over the country.

Dr. Cholin was a broad hearted everloving professional friend who was always eager to help the fresh graduates for placement. He has served the cause of researchers to speedup their research by making access to information beyond the four walls of the library and across the borders of the country. In a very short span of 5 years, Dr. Cholin has emerged as a champion of the INFONET Consortia and by his death the country and LIS profession in general and Karnatak University in particular has lost a noble son of the land. We are all aware of the grave situation the young family of Dr. Cholin is facing in the days to come. The loss is irreparable and unbearable. We all sincerely pray Almighty to grace the strength and cool mind to the family of the departed soul. We all are with Mrs. Hema Cholin and their 2 sons and also with the entire family of Dr. Cholin to share their sorrow.

Dr Cholin
by T.V. Prafulla Chandra 13 Jan '06

13 Jan '06

Dear All, When Basavaraju Appa Rao, one of the leading lights of Telugu poetry, lost his son at a young age, he wrote an elegy. One of its lines says: He has vacated the house and left. Dr Cholin too has done the same thing and left pain and sorrow not only in the hearts of his family members, close associates, friends but also several hundreds of LIS professionals. I just spent a couple of minutes with Dr Cholin when he visited CIEFL Library about a few years ago to provide some technical assistance on library automation. He was knowledgeable, bubbling with entusiasm, and professional to the core. I heard a number of LIS professionals speaking very highly of him because of his ever helpful attitude towards one and all. Dr Cholin and Dr Rajashekar were role models to LIS professionals of this country. I presume that Dr Cholin had left us at a relatively very young age. A few more details about his career and the cause of his death may kindly be provided. Thank you Sincerely T.V.
