CSES mourns the passing away of Dr. George Zachariah, a renowned academic and administrator. Dr. George, had associated with CSES as a visiting faculty, bringing out two important works on Kerala Education. The study, “Changing Enrolment Patterns in Arts & Science Colleges in Kerala”, was in 2001, in which he was the Principal Investigator. A CSES working paper “Financing Secondary Education in Kerala” was a work in which Dr. George collaborated with (Late) Dr. K K George, the Founding Chairperson of CSES who he referred to as a perennial source of support and inspiration, and Dr N Ajith Kumar, Director, CSES, which was published in 2003. He was formerly the Principal and Head of the Department of Economics, Christian College, Chengannur. Dr. George, who was always a well wisher of CSES, will be sadly missed.
