The ICMRBS Council is saddened to learn of the passing of our colleague KVR Chary, Director of IISER Berhampur and Chair of the XXI ICMRBS in Hyderabad in 2005.  He and his contributions to the NMR community, both in India and more broadly, were appreciated by many and he will be missed.  The ICMRBS community extends our condolences to his family, colleagues, and friends.
