I deeply regret to advise you of the sad demise of Shri.N.A.Naganathan on October 1st in Mumbai. He was 83 years old and had served in RBI for 35 years. He retired from ECD. He was one of the Founding Fathers of Trade Unionism in RBI. The four pillars of Trade Union in RBI were Ashish Sen, K.A.Menon, S.N.Elavia and N.A.Naganathan. N A N --as he was fondly called--- was an authority on Bank Awards, Banking Commissions, all Agreements with the Bank. In fact senior executives of the Bank would rely on him for doubts about Awards and Commissions' recommendations. He was also an authority on ECD problems. He was accessible at all times and countless are the persons he has helped both in RBI and outside. When Chandraiah and Manoharan--from Chennai-- wanted to meet him I rang up N A N, he readily agreed to meet them without any notice and we spent a profitable 90 minutes. Many in our Group would have had the chance of working with N A N. God's Good Man that he was-- he died peacefully in sleep.
