The memories of Dr. Rao are still very fresh in our minds. I vividly remember him walking to his office in the Main Building with a cup of coffee in his hand. He touched many lives and influenced them in a very positive way. He will live for ever in our memories. May his souls rest in in eternal PEACE, Om Shanti.

Dr. Mantripragada was a great person, a dedicated teacher and a respected Mathematician. Above all he was a caring and loving husband and father. His family truly loved him and will cherish his memories. Every student that I recommended to his class wanted to take more classes with him. He was the embodiment of a true mathematician and a caring teacher. He will be missed by his family, friends and his students. May his soul rest in peace. Om Tatsat.

Dr. Mantripragada was a great professor. I could not have asked for a kinder, funnier, or more patient teacher. I will always treasure his guidance, and I am thankful for the time that I knew him.

I was very saddened when I heard the news from my parents. Uncle was a great person and will be missed. I hope Aunty and the rest of the family find strength in the happy memories shared with Uncle. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. With love
