Maj (Dr) T Thiagarajan

Thiaga as we called him joined us in 1 Armd Div Sig Regt in 1958 after his Young Officers Course. He was very serious about his work, dedicated and disciplined. Even as a young officer, he would express his opinion with confidence. He was a popular young officer and highly well mannered. Ever smiling, he would measure his words and never speak out of turn. Thiaga was liked by one and all.

As a young officer in a field unit, one cannot display his academic excellence but it was obvious that Thiaga was highly intelligent and hard working officer.

Thiaga had an accident in a Jeep in Jhansi area where the Unit was located and had to be hospitalised. But he was so cheerful and made light of the accident.

Later in Service one came to know of the excellent work he had done in the computer field in NIC and in the Ministry of Science and Information Technology. It is sad to know that he had a number of health problems in later life.

In Thiaga's untimely demise we all have lost a highly talented colleague and friend. His contributions in the Computer field while in the Army HQ Computer Centre and later at national level will be remembered for years to come.

Our deepest condolences to Mrs. Thiagarajan and his Family. May God rest the departed soul in peace.
