It is very shocking, Anand was a dynamic and visionary leader with a mix of corporate and academic world. He was an inspiration to many young professionals and one of the most sought after library professional. As part of NCSI-Net family, we used to look upon him for guidance. We will miss him a lot. May his family get the strength to bear this loss. Om Shanti.
