iasia in-memoriam

Mr Amitava Basu was a cherished colleague, mentor, and friend whose quiet generosity and readiness to help defined his presence in every professional space he entered. Within IASIA, he served with distinction as Board Member (2022–2025), Functional Vice-President for Regional and International Cooperation (2025–2028), and Co-Chair of Working Group IV on Subnational Governance and Development, bringing careful judgment, deep collegiality, and an unwavering commitment to strengthening cooperation across the global community of public administration schools and institutes. He was not only a leader but a listener: thoughtful, respectful, and always willing to make time for others, especially younger colleagues and students. His intellectual generosity and human warmth strengthened, made IASIA more inclusive, and made it more collaborative.
