It is deeply saddening to learn that dear Prof. Neelameghan has passed away. He was truly a scholar, teacher, mentor and friend to me. I had the special privilege to be with him when he started the UNESCO course on Information Management in the Phillipines and later a similar course in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. In Ethiopia we were together in the troubled times of that country in 1990 when the dictator Mengistu was overthrown. He was staying in the heart of Addis Ababa which was under attack. I persuaded him to come and stay with me in my quarters which was away from the heart of the city. I can never forget his humility, scholarship and his insights. The library profession has lost a gem from its midst.
I join the community in conveying my sincerest condolences to his family.

I was given to understand just a while ago from a very reliable source that Prof. A. Neelameghan, an internationally acclaimed scholar in Library and Information Science and former Professor and Head, DRTC, Bangalore, has passed away. Details are awaited.
My heartfelt condolences on the loss of a doyen in the field of LIS.
