Dear Professional Colleagues,

A good friend of many of us Shri V.L. Kalyan passed away around 5 PM on 9th Jan 2015. It is learnt that he was admitted to Ramaiah Hospital on 8th evening probably due to heart attack. I learnt about this sad demise only around 9.15 PM, Only few friends, who learnt about this news bit early and who stayed near to his house could get the opportunity to pay last respects to the departed soul personally as the body was taken around 10 PM to a his village near Dharwad for last rites.

He served as Head, Technical Information Centre at BEL, Bangaluru for long period. He was General Secretary of Karnataka State Library Association for a long period and was professionally active even after retirement by way of delivering invited lectures in Seminars/Conferences, IGNOU contact classes, etc. He was very friendly and jolly person, who contributed a lot the professional development.
