I had seen him at drtc seminars. He was a very knowledgeable person. He managed icrisat with all information management tools in running it . I think, we have lost a great professional.

He is indeed a great library professional and a true ICT expert apart from being a loving and unassuming human being. I am proud and lucky to be associated with him as a friend. We have really lost a great library professional of our time. May his soul rest in peace.
