All LIS Professionals, With utmost agony I convey the sad demise of Dr. H.Anilkumar, Librarian, Indian Institute of Management, Ahmadabad. I have loss to words to express my personal grief in losing him and I feel it is a personal loss to me, as he was one of the most adorned student of Bangalore University, DLISc., and feel proud to say he was my one of the most gifted student. Very humble down to earth, never considered any work related to the profession dwarfing his image or position and accepted them with professional approach. I was his family friend and more than that his father Dr. G.Hanumappa, Professor at ISEC was also a scholar to reckon with, we knew him personally well. Dr. Anilkumar for some time worked in NLSIU and then moved to Ahmedabad, British Library and later joined Nirma University where he made a name and showed his professional excellence. Once I happen to meet the former Vice Chancellor of that university, and mentioned to him that Dr. Anil was our student, his most remarkable gesture was that we have given a wonderful librarian to them. Later he moved to IIM-A the most coveted position every one desired to get. Very recently Dr. Anil presented a Webinar session under KALA and it was one of the most enchanting lecture and he gave a new perspective for what is "Physical Library" and how to reorient it in the times of ICT boom. He also recalled his close association with KALA and thanked it for giving him required career guidance. It is very difficult here to present all his achievements in this short span. We happen to visit him at Ahemadabad at his home and it was coming together and pleasant time for all of us. With deep sense of sorrow and horrid feeling that Corona has snatched away one of the gifted professional with several years of his services available, We on behalf of Karnataka State Library Association, President, Secretary and other members of the EC and Governing Council and all Members and also on behalf of the Department of Library and Information Science, Bangalore University, as its former Head, convey our heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family, in particular his beloved Wife, Dr. Nishtha Anil Kumar. Pray God His Soul Rest in Peace. Prof. A.Y.AsundiPresidentKarnataka State Library Association Executive Committee, Governing Council and All Members,and also DLISc,Bangalore University,All past and present faculty and Alumni and Students

Dear Professionals,

With profound grief and sorrow, I am sharing formally the sad demise of Dr H Anil Kumar, Librarian, Vikram Sarabhai Library, Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad in the late evening of 17th July 2020 (Friday). We have lost an outstanding professional, an inspiring mentor and a great friend.

Dr Anil has contributed immensely to all the libraries that he has worked in, specially Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India (EDII), Nirma University Libraries and Vikram Sarabhai Library at IIMA and set a benchmark for all the professionals. With his vision and commitment to excellence, he shaped the library at IIMA to a level, which can be compared with the finest libraries in the world. He was one of the very few librarians who always strived to innovate and promote entrepreneurship in the librarianship domain. As a passionate and committed professional, he added great value to the professional associations by introducing scholarly activities. He was not only loved and appreciated by the institution heads, professionals, user community but also the information industry at large. As we all know, Dr Anil was actively contributing to the profession through webinars and discussions even during the lockdown period.

Apart from being an eminent professional, Dr Anil was a wonderful human being. He was a philosopher, friend and guide to many of us. As an avid reader, he loved to indulge in discussions, and debates. Dr Anil held his teachers and senior professionals in high esteem and at the same time supported, encouraged and motivated the young professionals.

As we regret the untimely demise, let us remember Anil in our prayers and keep his family in our thoughts as they go through this difficult time.

May His Soul Rest in Peace.
