Dear All,   It is very difficult to believe that Dr.Padma Upadhya is no more. It is not only shocking but also unfortunate that our profession has lost a bright and nice professional like Dr.Padma. She had made meaningful contribution to the library profession through her teaching and training initiatives. For young professionals she was not only inspiring but also a guide to many. I have known her very closely and have a great respect for her. May her soul rest in peace. I express my heartfelt condolences to the members of the bereaved family. May God give peace to the departed soul and give strength and courage to the family members to bear the loss.
