I feel deeply honoured to have been asked to write about the
contributions of adoyenof Indian mycology Professor KartarSingh
Thind, popularly known as K.S.Thind, for publication in special
volume of KAVAKA being dedicated to him in his birth centenary
year (2017). I have had an opportunity to know him as a student
while pursuing my doctorate at Department of Botany, Panjab
University, Chandigarh and then as my senior colleague, although I
was not his direct student but I am one of the fortunate ones to have
taken my initial lessons in mycology and plant pathology from two
of his illustrious students, Late Professor S.S.Saini, being M.Sc.
student at Punjabi University, Patiala and then from Late Professor
G.S.Rawla at Panjab University, Chandigarh under whose guidance
I earned my doctorate. I have no hesitation in taking this pride to
inherit the legacy of hard work and dedication from this legendry
mycologist and carry it forward at a place where Professor Thind
established a school of mycology in his own right and attracted the
attention of National and International mycologists of repute
including Professor T.S.Sadasivan, Professor C.V.Subramanian,
Professor E.J.H.Corner, Professor R.P.Korf and many others listed
in the ongoing account. On my own behalf and on behalf of
mycological fraternity, I appreciate the effort of Mycological
Society of India for remembering the contributions of Professor
K.S.Thind by bringing out a dedicated issue of KAVAKA on his
birthcentenary whichfallson30 October,2017.

PROFESSIONALCAREER
PERSUITOFMYCOLOGICALRESEARCH
Kartar Singh Thind; born on October 30 , 1917 in Saidpur
(District Kapurthala, Punjab); was the fifth of the seven
children of late S. Bhag Singh. He passed his high school in
first division from Parmjit High School, Sultanpur Lodhi.
Later on he shifted to Khalsa College Amritsar and graduated
with B. Sc. (Hons. School), standing first class first in 1939,
for which he was awarded “Oman Prize”. He later on joined
Department of Botany, Panjab University, Lahore for his
Master's Degree and worked under the guidance of Late Prof.
H. Chaudhari, the then Head, Department of Botany. He
carried out research on the different aspects of Plant Diseases
for his Master's Degree. He topped the list of successful
candidates and was awarded Alfred Patiala Research
Fellowship by the Punjab University, Lahore from 1942-
1945. He then moved to University of Wisconsin, Madison,
USA to work under the guidance of renowned Plant
Pathologist Dr. G. W. Keitt for his Doctoral Degree on
GovernmentofIndiaOverseasScholarship.
Soonafterreturningfrom U.S.A,hejoinedas RegionalPotato
Development officer, Himachal Pradesh for a brief period in
1949. He was invited to join the newly setup Department of
Botany, Panjab University located at Khalsa college Amritsar
intheyear 1949.Soonafterjoining theDepartmentofBotany,
he came in contact with the eminent mycologist Prof. E. J. H.
Corner FRS at the University of Cambridge, U.K., in 1950's.
Prof. Corner's inspiration and his own intellect and zeal to
work hard initiated the task of floristically exploring the
Himalayan Fungal flora for higher fungi, which he continued
till his last breath. Thus the tradition of floristic studies in
Bryophytes started by LateProf. S. R. Kashyap and Prof. H.
Chaudhari in aquatic fungi in the Department of Botany,
Panjab University, Lahore werecontinued by Dr. K. S. Thind.
He became Reader in1957 and was appointed as Professor of
Botany (Mycology and Plant Pathology) in 1962.Along with
his elevation as aProfessor, his devotion towards floristics of
Himalayan fungi and understanding of the fungal
Systematics, made him an eminent mycologist of the Sub-
continent and an internationally recognized figure of
systematic mycology. Professor Thind devoted his whole life
to nurture Indian Mycology, for which he worked relentlessly
alongwith ateam ofhis dedicatedscholarstill hebreathed his
laston3 December,1991.
Prof. Thind along with his team of devoted students explored
the North-Western Himalayas from 1952-1976 and Eastern
Himalayas and Assam Hills in the jurisdiction of Indian
Republicas wellasthe RoyalKingdom ofBhutanfrom 1977-
1986 for the collection ofhigher fungi and slime moulds. The
floristic studies pertained to ,
( , and ) and
(non-gilled fungi). For all such explorations, he received

grants from PL-480 and the Department of Science and
Technology, New Delhi. The floristic explorations conducted
during this period (1952-1986) lead to the discovery of
around 400 taxa new to science, which also included new
genera in almost all the groups of fungi he investigated. Prof.
Thind was probably the first mycologist in the country to
demonstrate the importance of application and concepts of
tissue types in the taxonomy of and
as put forth by Prof. Korfand Prof. Corner,
respectively. The same was also applied in the
and inwhichthisconcept wasneverapplied.
Prof. Thind's excellence in fungal systematics did not stop
him in venturing into the world of Fungal Physiology. His
refinement of the method of removal of trace element
contaminants in the study of nutritional requirements of plant
pathogenic fungi is a testimony of his multifacet academic
excellenceindifferentfieldsof studiesconcerningfungi.
Prof. Thind interacted and collaborated with eminent
mycologists of the country which included T.S. Sadasivan,
C.V. Subramanian, S.N. Dasgupta, R.S. Vasudeva, B.L.
Chona, R.N. Tandon, K.S. Bhargava, R.S. Mehrotra, to name
only a few. Similarly he was in close contact for interaction
and collaboration at the international level with notable
mycologistslike:G.W.Martin,E.J.H.Corner,J.A.Nannfeldt,
Miss. E.K. Cash, R.P. Korf, D.A. Reid, G.H. Cunningham,

V.G. Lilly, Mrs. N.E. Nannenga-Bremekamp, R.A.G. Mass,
A.Raitviirand E.Parmasto.
