Ghulam Mohammad, Senior Economist of the Pakistan Institute ofDevelopment Economics, died in a hospital in Rome in September 1967. Hisdeath has left the Institute with a void which will never be quitefilled. An able arid experienced civil servant, a masterful student ofbureaucracy, a wide ranging, technical¬ly proficient agriculturalscientist, a tireless and energetic researcher, a bright chee¬ry,irrepressible and eternally youthful colleague—Ghulam Mohammad was allthese things and more. From the humble background of a Punjabi tenantfarming family, he rose, by virtue of his intelligence, natural talent,energy and hard work, to a position of recognized professionalexcellence, eminence, and stature, respected and admired in Pakistan andabroad, even by those who disagreed with his views. His career is aninspiration to any aspiring young professional, particularly in asociety which only recently has begun to replace ascriptive quali¬tiesby merit and achievement as bases for position, status, andprestige.
