It is very shocking and sad to know about the demise of Prof. N.. M. Malwad. He was well associated with the LIS Profession. His sad demise has created a vacuum which can not be filled up in future. The condolences from the HKBKCE Library Staff for his bereaved Family and pray for resting his soul in peace.

Dear Professional friends,

With great sorrow with heavy heart it is informed that one of the stalwarts in the profession, a great teacher, scholar and very humanitarian Librarian Prof. N.. M. Malwad is no more with us. He left for heavenly abode on 15th, October, 2009 at 09:30AM. His sad demise is a great loss to the LIS Profession. As we all know, he had a very distinguished career heading TIFR and IISc Library and a rare distinction of working on INIS system in its initial stages. He was instrumental in setting up of several organizations including INFLIBNET. He was Invited by the UGC to work on a Special Committee formed for preparing a Project Report on INFILBNET and worked as the core member in preparing and finalizing Report on INFLIBNET. He is fondly remembered for his lively and scholarly talks and his human approach to help any body. It is a great personal loss to me and my family. We pray God to rest the departed Soul in Peace.

Puttabasavaiah.
