From the messages so far received, it's very clear that our friend Dr H Anilkumar was truly liked and respected by one and all. I know him since his student days and we had become true family friends. I have always loved his energy, foresight and bonhomie.

Few things clearly stand apart. 1. His presentations and seminars were highly sought after as they were backed with in-depth study and insights. 2. He was very highly regarded and respected by the publishing industry. 3. He had a wonderful connect with senior academicians and bureaucrats. His untimely demise is certainly a great loss L&IS fraternity as he had many dreams and solutions to existing issues. *Lets salute him for raising the bar for Indian librarianship.* *Lets cherish & celebrate his life & contributions.* Please join me in praying for peace & welfare of Dr Nishta Anilkumar and family members.
