Dear Professionals, President, Office Bearers and Members of Karnataka State Library Association mourn the sad demise of Prof. G. Bhattacharya, former Director of DRTC on 26 June 2006. All of us cherish his professional contributions as a well-known LIS teacher, researcher, guide and above all a good human being. His contributions especially in the area of indexing are well-known. He never used to enter the class without prior preparations inspite of his vast experience at DRTC. I recall the proud words of Late Prof. MR Kumbar referring GB very often as "My Ganesh". May the Almighty give the strength to his family members and professional colleagues to bear this irreparable loss. May His Soul Rest in Eternal Peace.
