Ulla Nagel, IODA President:
ReplyDeleteThe notice of the death of our honorable teacher and god father of OD, Prof. Udai Pareek made me also very sad. We have been so privileged to have had him speaking in our conference. He attended all conference days and had been so active while listening and commenting. What a special luck to have met him during his life time! It was an honor for IODA that he accepted the IODA Life Time Award last year.
How fulfilled his life was! Prof. Udai Pareek is an example for all of us! He finished his life in the same way he had been living all the time: busy by donating his time and efforts to a valuable task!
May his great soul rest in peace!
