Journal Title: Open Journal of Psychiatry & Allied Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
The tragic demise of Dr. Subhendu Dhar, a pioneering figure in the sphere of psychiatry in the Barak Valley of Southern Assam, was lamented at a solemn condolence meeting held at Silchar Medical College and Hospital (SMCH) in which several speakers highlighted the remarkable contributions of the departed. Dr. Kamal Nath, Associate Professor, Department of Psychiatry, SMCH in a moving remembrance speech recounted his long and fruitful association with the late Dr. Dhar. As the mental health community at large comes to terms with the void left behind by the passing of the towering stalwart, his life and his example will remain a source of inspiration for the generations to come.
