Dattatreya R Kulkarni started his career with INFLIBNET Centre in 1994 as Library Professional on a temporary assignment. I also became his colleague, at a later stage. Later, he joined ABB Ltd, Baroda as Library Officer and worked for a brief period. He joined British Council Library, Ahmedabad as Assistant Librarian, later he becomes Deputy Manager and Manager contributed significantly to developing BCL, Ahmedabad. Along with Satish Deshpande, the BCL was a very active and happening place for many years with so many activities such as Book clubs, Movies, Writer groups, etc. It was also the dominant UK education hub. He served British Council Library as Manager till it was closed (2019). He was working as Deputy Librarian (2020-) for SVKM's Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies (NMIMS) Developing a Public Library for the city of Shirpur on the lines of BCL. He did M.L.I.Sc. from Karnatak University, Dharwad in the year 1992. He was a very humble, efficient, helpful professional. He was also helpful in making many young professionals as BCL Trainees. D R Kulkarni became a victim of Covid19 and he breathed last on 8th April 2021 at about 8.30 pm. It is very unfortunate that at the prime age the Library profession has lost him. I pray God Almighty to rest his soul in peace and give enough strength to bear this great loss to his family members. ---------------------------------- Dr. K Prakash Librarian Karnataka State Open University Mukthagangotri Mysuru – 570006 Email: prakash_k@yahoo.com | Web: http://ksoumysuru.ac.in/ http://www.ksoumysore.edu.in/ Tel: 0821-2510953(Dir) | EPBX: 0821-2500873, 2519952 Extn.: 530 Cell: 9448066788 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
