IT is with great sadness that the family of Navindranauth Chandarpal announces his passing on 28 October, 2014. We are nonetheless grateful that he passed away peacefully at home while surrounded by family and relatives.

He was, up to the time of his death, serving as Presidential Advisor on Sustainable Development and Science and Technology.
Navin was diagnosed with stage four stomach cancer in 2012, and at that time he was given a few months to live. His indomitable spirit did not allow this, and Navin waged a fierce resistance against his cancer for almost two years. His body was continuously weakened but his mind never faded. He was blessed with wonderful doctors and nurses but just as importantly was showered with love, prayers and comfort from his family, relatives, friends, comrades and colleagues throughout his treatments.

The family would like to express our love and gratitude to all those who made his life one without regrets.
