its rather sad to note that Mr. Agarwal is no more with us. His contribution in creating awareness amongst masses on environmental issues and his advocacy drive amongst policy makers, seems irreparable at this juncture of time. I only wish that he lives in us, forever, and help us contribute towards protecting Mother Earth. 

My sympathy goes with the family members.

Homage to Shri Anil Agarwal

Passing away of  some person always hurts us, especially of such people who are of such animportance to the nation & the globe. Anilji is one of them. I believe in such souls  who never die but are immortal because their life does not end with their hysical  passing away but only when their life mission doesn't continue. But for Anilji  it is not nly nationally but internationally too he has imbibed in all of us a culture of care and  concern for the environment which we shall foster. It is his mission that all of us should bring into action and continue with it with a firm and  sincere commitment that would be a true  homage to our dear Anilji. It should not remain confined in words but should show through action or else it would have no meaning.

I believe firmly in action and it is the timely inaction on various environmental issues all these years that I feel succumbed Anilji to such ailments. Its high time that we all need to come together in full cooperation to remedy the environmental problems without any further delay. Promises by the ministries & politicians as well as rules & laws only on paper cannot work. Receiving applauds and laurels is not what is required at this juncture. What relevance all that has when  the very mission for which the recipient of so many awards strove for is nottransformed into action?

 Our environment today is in such a critical state both nationally as well as internationally, but hardly is anything being  done sincerely to rectify it. However, all the various efforts that are undertaken is infinitesimally smaller than a drop in the ocean while the rate at which the deterioration is taking place is much faster than the supersonic rate.

 I would just conclude by saying that Anilji is with us and will be with us till the time we continue with his mission. My homage to Anilji would be that I commit myself to the cause of our MOTHER EARTH till my last breath while at the same time   motivating  as many more for it. 

To the Agarwal family I have this message.

Dukh hi kathin MUKTI ka bandhan, Dukh hi prabal pariksha ka kshan, Dukh se har gaya jo manav, Waha kya manav kehlata hai? SATHI, dukh se ghabrata hai! Dukh jeevan mein karta halchal, Waha maan ki durbalta kewal, Dukh ko yadi dukh maan n tu to, Dukh fir sukh ban jata hai, SATHI, dukh se ghabrata hai! Path mein shool biche to kya, chall, Path mein aag jali to kya, jall, Jalti jwala mein jalkar hi, Loha lal nikhar ata hai, SATHI, dukh se ghabrata hai!  Dhanyawad de usko jisne, Diye tujhe dukh ke doo sapne,Kabhi kabhi sukh to kya,DUKH bhi sath n de pata hai, SATHI, dukh se ghabrata hai!

I am deeply shocked and saddened at the news of Anil Agarwal's death.I met Anil at the IUCN's 50th Anniversary Celebration in Fountainbleau, France. I found him to be a very viable, knowledgable, compassionate human being. He seemed full of spirit and in good health. Regarding the latter, I realize appearances can be deceiving, or maybe his illness developed ater.

Please extend my deepest sympathy to Anil's family. friends and colleagues and let me know how I can contribute in some way to celebrate Anil's life, other than working with even greater zeal to protect nature globally.

To Colleagues at CSE, 

It is very sad to hear, so early in teh new year,  that this great environmentalist and development advocate has passed away. The international development community has lost a key ally, and India has lost a great social activist. I am grateful for the opportunity to beexposed to his innovative ideas when he visited UNDP Headquarters in New

York over the last few years, while I was Programme Manager there for India. UNDP was fortunate to have collaborated with him on a number of initiatives global, regional and country level initiatives (including one on "green ratings for industry" with UNDP India).

Please accept my deepest condolences on this tremendous loss and, if possible, please convey my condolences to his family. I hope the CSE team will carry on its good work as a continuing tribute to him, and that the newsletter will continue to be a source of important information on international and South Asian environment and development. 

With kind regards,

To the Letters Editor of Down to Earth

I would like to say how saddened I was at the news of Anil Agarwal's passing away. As a science journalist interested in environment and  development issues I learned much from Anil that benefited me professionally and personally. I first met Anil when I worked at New Scientist magazine in London in the early 1980s and since then I Always valued the time that Anil generously gave me during my visits to South Asia. I am sure that he will be remembered in this way by many all over theworld and the legacy of his environmental and communications work continue to inspire us.

Dear Sunita and the CSE family,

Please accept my heartfelt condolences on Anil's demise. It will always seem that he has gone away too soon. India has lost its foremost warrior of environment. It was my good fortune to have interacted with him and CSE through you. His dedication and committment to the cause of a better tomorrow shall always have a lasting impact on anyone who ever came near him. May God rest his soul in peace and give you (and the Movement) the strength to bear his loss.

All colleages of CSE and family members of Mr. Agarwal. I express my deep concerns. I am very shocked.The demise of Mr. Agarwal is a great loss for developing countries like ours in the present situations when WTO and USA are planning to use the Earth Summit 2002 for their business purposes. He was a great fighter for the cause to save the country's soveignerity. He first exposed role of the North regarding environment among the people of our country. Environment concern people of India as well as developing countries will always remember him for his role to fight against the expliotation by the North  on the south in the name of improving environment. DTE is a noble contribution from CSE under his leadership. I expect from all the colleages of CSE to carry his views and approach and will improve DTE more than his expectation.
