I am quite saddened to report the demise od Sri. D.N. Nagaraja Rao, former Librarian of NIE Mysore. After his retirement at NIE, he offered his services to the institutions of The Ramakrishna Mission in Mysore. He took an active part in building their libraries and in teaching new students. He was a most humble person, always looking for inspiration from his peers and seniors. He was always present in library meetings with the enthusisam which marked him out as a true professional, always willing to learn and share what he knew. He was truly an unsung hero of the profession. He passed away on 5th Dec peacefully at Mysore after a brief period of hospitalization. I am sure all people who knew him will join me in offering our heartfelt condolences to his family.
