Dear colleagues, I am grieved to share that Prof. Rameshwar Singh passed away 0n 21-01-2024 early morning around 4 a.m. at his village residence in Bijnour. He had been eminently associated with AGI and organized Biennial conference of AGI during 1988 at JNU. He was M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Zoology from Lucknow University. He was one of the early faculty of School of Life Sciences, JNU, from around mid-seventies and was Dean of Students Welfare (DSW) and Chief Proctor of JNU. After earning his Ph.D. in Zoology under supervision of Prof. Mukund Bihari Lal from Lucknow University, he got his post-doctoral research training in Neuroscience at the Netherlands and developed Neurobiology teaching and research at SLS, JNU. He was Fellow of National Academy of Science and recipient of MS Kanungo Lifetime Achievement Award of Association of Gerontology India (AGI) 2014. He guided many M.Phil. and Ph.D. students in Neurobiology of Aging at JNU. He also published many landmark research papers in reputed journals. He was a very simple, humble and disciplined person with great academic and administrative capabilities. May Almighty rest the departed soul in eternal peace! AGI will always remember him.
