KSCA sources said the senior Dravid had health problems for the last four years. He was 79 years old.
Dravid's father worked for Kissan, a company best known for producing jam, and thus he was bestowed with the nickname Jammy by his classmates at St Joseph's Boys' High School.
Sharad's wife, Pushpa, is a former professor of Architecture at the University Visvesvaraya College of Engineering (UVCE).
KSCA President Anil Kumble, Office Bearers and Members of the Managing Committee (Vijay Bhardwaj, Sujith Somasundar and S Vijaya Prakash) mourn the sad demise and offer their deepest condolences to the aggrieved family, the release said.
