    I am deeply disturbed to know the sad demise of Mr. K.S. Navada's death. He was a great teacher of his time. A highly disciplinarian , humble and a honest teacher. He had concern for poor students. He was my mentor during my school days. In the present generation, we hardly come across such a honest and committed teacher. My heartfelt condolenses to the bereaved family. May his soul rest in peace.
