For those not knowing, Professor Raj Krishna died a few weeks ago in Rome at the

He was considered an expert in agricultural economics and specialised in the

professor at the Delhi School of Economics, he was a member of the Planning Com-
mission from 1977 to 1979. Professor Krishna was in Rome on a three-month FAO
