It is with a heavy heart and greatest sorrow that the members of the Khush Foundation are coming to terms with the untimely demise of Dr. Darshan Singh Brar.  He was the force behind the establishment of the Foundation, sustained, and guided it since its inception. His sincerity, dedication, and inspiration were the hallmark for the success of the Foundation’s operations. He will be greatly missed, but his cherished memory will always guide us.   May God give all the strength to his family and loved ones to bear this loss.  Please read his obituary in this IRRI publication.
