His manifold research and study of Psychology paved the way for the generation of scholars to explore new frontiers of the discipline. Professor Rath was a prolific writer. Fiction or non-fiction, autobiography or travelogues, Prof. Rath’s literary genius was equally strong and intense as was his contribution to Psychology. As an educationist, researcher and litterateur unmatched by many of his contemporaries, he earned laurels for his state and the country from international circles of excellence in education.

        His tall, erect frame, bald pate, gold-rimmed glasses, and intellectual exuberance very well fitted into the image of a distinguished professor. A nationally and internationally renowned Professor of Psychology, in the name of Prof. Radhanath Rath, left for his heavenly abode on 29th September 2014 at the age of 96 at his residence in Cuttack, Odisha leaving behind a fully blossomed family and a host of students and ardent followers of his philosophy towards life.
