It's really shocking and unbelievable to me that Sir (Dr Venkadesan) is no more with us. I never had any student-teacher relationship with him nor even superior-subordinate but I had a relationship with him which was beyond that. He was fun loving, charming and very down to earth and a very dynamic and innovative professional. His sad demise is a great loss to the profession. His soul may rest in peace.  Narayan GhoshCSIR-IICB, Kolkata----------------------------------------------------------- N C Ghosh MLISc, PGDLAN, FSIS, PhD Principal Technical Officer & Head Knowledge Resource Centre CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Biology 4, Raja Subodh Mullick Road, Kolkata - 700032 Phone: (033) 24995713/2473-3491/3493, Extn.713/769 Mobile: 09432248877 E-mail:ncghosh@iicb.res.in;librarian@iicb.res.in Web: www.iicb.res.in/library.html From: "mailman@ncsi.iisc.ernet.in" <mailman@ncsi.iisc.ernet.in> To: lis-forum@ncsi.iisc.ernet.in Sent: Sunday, 27 May 2018, 19:39 Subject: Re: [LIS-Forum] Venky-ISB no more. ---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- From:    "kschudamani" <kschudamani@rediffmail.com> Date:    Sun, May 27, 2018 11:54 am -------------------------------------------------------------------------- He was a very friendly and dedicated professional looking for new and innovative ideas to experiment with.

A sad Sunday. Dr. Venkateshan,  has suddenly left for his heavenly abode this morning, leaving us. Starting his career as a scientist (metallurgist) in IGCAR,  he made librarianship a successful career there  and came to national prominence as he moved up in the LIS ladder to IISc and Indian School of Business, Hyderabad. A vibrant, fun loving and amazingly enthusiastic  person, he made LIS his cosy and engaging professional home giving it a touch of scholarship. A new annual seminar series, he launched and led  three years ago along with Anil Kumar (IIM-A) is a very different and innovative model to remember and continue after him.  I worked with him closely when Informatics had launched  Infovision 2005, an annual event then. We miss him. We pray for his soul to rest in peace. -- *SATHYA* *|*N. V.
