Dear All, It is very sad to hear the demise of Prof M.A. Gopinath. I had an opportunity to meet him and listen to some of his lectures at Sarada Ranganathan Endowment, Bangalore. I pray got to rest his soul in peace and give courage to his family and friends to bear the loss. best Regards, S M Pujar ========== On Mon, Feb 11, 2013 at 11:51 AM, Pradip Das wrote:

It is a shocking news in this morning!!  He was my guide in DRTC.  He was a teacher of students' oriented.  I think every student will feel that he loves him/her the best.  When I was working with him on my project,  I was feeling that he loves me more than any other.  But when we were discussing with other classmates, we came to know that they are also feeling the same.  That is a great quality of a teacher.  Personally I have talked to him a month back.  He was very happy to get the information about my achievements.   It is a great loss in the field of Library and Information Science!!!  Let us pray to god for his soul rest peace!!  Pradip Das DRTCian 1992-1994.
