associate members and 104 international members crossing 3602as presented in the AGM. The financial
health of the society was in good health with the total assets crossing 8.01crores. He also presented the
details of the assets. He informed that the IT cases of 2014 had been settled and TDS had been refunded back
to the society. The advances of 35 lakhs given to USICON 2017 and USICON 2018 was pending refund. He also
presented the corpus and the fixed deposits of the society. He mentioned that the fixed deposits have been
divided into two sections one with the cumulative interest and the other with the quarterly interest as day to
day working capital is required. He also presented the details of finances of Board of Education and also of
Indian Journal of Urology. He informed that the current corpus of Board of Education was 38,62,702/- and of
Indian Journal of Urology was 96,64,823/-. He then detailed regarding the expenses of the daily running of
the society activities. He informed that from this year onwards the annual UAA Membership of the members
of USI is also being paid. He informed that the detailed list of expenses was included in the Treasurer's Report
of the USI Supplement printed in December 2016. He informed that the Income Tax had been filed for USICON
2015, Ranchi and USICON 2016 Hyderabad and the income tax refunds are pending for both the conferences.
He further informed regarding the USI-Olympus Travel Fellowships awarded for attending the various
conferences and courses to the residents and for which USI reimburses the travel expenses through a grant
from Olympus. The amount reimbursed this year was 9,51,728. He further informed the members regarding
other financial aspects of the society.
He informed that inspite of having 7 crores as assets, they were not sufficient for the society as the returns we
get from these assets were not sufficient to meet the expenses of the society to fulfill its objectives. As the
membership of the society is growing and new activities were being planned for the members we need to
plan regarding our finances. Currently most of our expenditure on academic activities was dependent on the
sponsorship from pharmaceutical companies. We need to look at ways of improving our income so that we
are self-sufficient at least to run our office and the educational activities including the Indian Journal of
Urology.
He informed that he was happy to inform the members that the income tax issues had been settled and we
had received refund to the tune of 37 lakhs from the income tax department for the previous years till 2015.
He informed that amendments had been filed with the charity commissioner office at Mumbai which was
being processed. He informed that he was not sure whether it would be complete before he demitted his
office as treasurer at Mumbai in January 2017. He informed that full efforts were being made to complete the
formalities.
He mentioned that members had entrusted him the responsibility of treasurer for 4 years which he had done
to the best of his ability. He had enjoyed the work entrusted to him and he had streamlined the finances of the
society to the current state.
He thanked all the Past Presidents Prof RM Meyyappan, Dr Deepak Kirpekar, Prof Percy Chibber and current
President Prof Rajeev Sood and Hon Secretary Prof D Ramesh and all the council members for their help and
support. It was great fun working with all the council members past and present.
Dr. Lalmalani placed on record his appreciation for the way the Treasurer's Report was presented.
Dr. P. Venugopal expressed that the treasurer's report was well presented. He also expressed that he was very
happy to note the gathering of members attending the general body meeting which he noted must be the
highest in many years. He then wanted to know if it was feasible to spend so much money for the council
meetings. Dr. Keshav clarified that the Treasurer and the Secretary have not reimbursed any expenses that
they have incurred in the past 4 years. He then informed that only the travel of the council members was
reimbursed by USI and the other expenses were not reimbursed by USI. This year as it was the golden jubilee
conference year, the council had met one more time than the usual number of meetings per year and hence
the expense was slightly more than the previous years.
Dr Sanjay Sinha expressed his appreciation for the Treasurer's report. He then queried that he had
participated in one of the BOE activity as a faculty and he was not reimbursed for his travel. He enquired that
there should be guidelines for BOE in organizing the activities. Dr. Keshav informed that usually the BOE
prepares a calendar of events for the year and the budget for each activity is allocated accordingly. Dr Sood
informed that the guidelines for the same are being formulated.
Dr Anant Kumar expressed that the council and the faculty for the USI activities are done only for the
betterment of the society and hence the expenses for the same should not be a matter of question.
Dr. Shrish Yande expressed that the BOE through the USI Treasurer's office should help the organizers for the
academic activities.
Dr. Sood expressed that he has made a vision statement which would try to create guidelines for various
academic activities. He emphasized that we should strive to be self-sufficient.
Dr. Kim expressed that instead of augmenting the fixed deposits, efforts should be made to increase the
expenses on academic activities.
Dr. Shyam Joshi also expressed that instead of increasing income, the activities should be increased. Dr.
Keshav clarified that the fixed deposits at present are for a period of 5years and once they mature, they would
be put to quarterly interest plan and the money would be used to finance the BOE activities.
The members at large were of the consensus that instead of increasing the corpus of the society, the academic
activities of the society should take precedence.
President, Dr. Sood expressed that the vision statement being made would be incorporating guidelines for
managing of the finances. He said that we have envisaged numerous cells that has been circulated in the
vision document in the USI Supplement to be functioning independently and ultimately to be self-sufficient.
Dr. Mahendra Bhandari expressed that the activities are not only the responsibility of the head of the activity
like BOE or IJU but all the members of the team should work together to strengthen the cells. The sustenance
and growth should be made the main goal.
Dr. P. Venugopal enquired regarding informing the Charities Commissioner for procuring properties. He was
informed by Dr Sood that it was not mandatory to inform while procuring but at the time of sale of any
property; the Charity Commissioner has to be informed.
The Treasurer's Report was then passed unanimously.
Dr. Keshavamurthy then presented a resolution to the general body regarding the members serving in the
Defense Services of the country. He informed that such members are allotted leave to attend the conferences
sometimes only before 15 days of the scheduled conference and hence they have to pay a hefty registration
fee. He proposed that the early bird registration charges should be applicable to such members whenever
they register. The General Body passed this resolution unanimously. But the officials were informed that as
this resolution was not a part of the agenda, it cannot be passed in this general body and the organizers of the
next conference should be instructed regarding this guideline. Dr. Chinnaswamy mentioned that it should
include all serving members including government employees. Dr.Nitin mentioned that faculty from all
teaching institutions too face similar problems. The matter was resolved with the President announcing that
this facility would be only considered for serving Defence personnel only.
Proposed by Dr. Keshavamurthy and seconded by Dr. Datteshwar Hota.
2017/GB/08: Appointment of Auditor for the year 2016-17
Dr. Keshavamurthy informed the general body that at present Mr Subodh Gupta was the auditor for USI. He
sought the approval of the general body to continue with the same auditor for the next year. The General
body approved for the same.
Proposed by Dr. P B Singh and seconded by Dr. Sudhir Rawal.
2017/GB/09: Approval of new members
Dr. Keshav then presented the list of new member applications as well as the applications for conversion from
associate members to full members. He informed that the applications were scrutinized by both the Treasurer
and the Secretary and then only they were accepted by the council.
The members approved the lists of new members unanimously.
Proposed by Dr. Lalmalani and seconded by Dr. Prashant Pattnaik.
2017/GB/109: Report about the legal issues with the Charities Commissioner Mumbai
Dr. Keshav then presented his report on the legal issues of not filing the amendments with the Charities
Commissioner since 1983. He informed that he had compiled all the amendments of the previous years and
had submitted to the Charities Commissioner in August 2016. He informed that the newsletters containing
the amendments and the agendas of the general body meetings were submitted as proofs and he had 2
sittings with the advocate representing USI in Mumbai and the last was held at December 2016. He informed
that the Charities Commissioner has raised an objection that he wants the written minutes and not the
minutes printed in the newsletter. He further informed that although the USI Office has all the audited
statements from 1983 onwards he was not able to trace any written minutes prior to 2003 as the minute
books are not available. He informed that he had requested that the minutes be condoned as having been lost
and now he is not sure whether this request would be accepted by the Charities Commissioner or not.
Dr. Rajeev Sood informed that he is trying to register the society in Delhi as the USI Office as well as the auditor
is now in Delhi. He requested the approval of the general body to pursue the registration in Delhi.
The GB was of the view that this issue should not be passed in such a hasty manner.
Dr. Rajeev Sood informed that he has now clarified with the legal opinions with the judgment of the Supreme
Court that if a society does not change the aims and objectives no permission needs to be taken and they only
need to be intimated.
Dr. Lalmalani extended the help of the Bombay Urological Society to expedite this matter. Dr. Rajeev Sood
informed that at present the Treasurer along with the council is looking into the matter and a special cell has
also been formed to take care of the legal issues and if there would be need for any assistance from the
Bombay Urological Society they would definitely be asked for help.

There was a lot of time spent on formulating charters for various acivities of BOE as there are no guidelines at

people can interact and get CME credits for participating in the various BOE activities. He hoped to have a new

Dr. Rajeev Sood informed the General Body that there were deliberations made regarding the different
orations and awards in the USI Council Meetings. He informed that the Himadri Sarkar Oration was instituted
by USI itself and hence it was decided to continue with the oration for future.
He then informed the general body that there are still many orations and awards continuing with very small or
no corpus and it was decided by the council that these awards and orations would now be renamed after the
specialty for which it is instituted. If some member wants to rename a particular award or oration started
2007 onwards, it can be done on the acceptance from the general body for a period of 7 years and with a
corpus of Rs. 20 lakhs. The awards and orations can also be instituted by corporate houses for a corpus of Rs. 1
crore for a period of 7 years. He further informed that the duration of the previous awards instituted before
2007 is now over, and now it has been decided to stop these awards after a period of 3 years.
One of the members expressed that the awards can only be named after USI Members posthumously.
The proposal was unanimously accepted by the General Body.
Proposed by Dr. Nitin Kekre and seconded by Dr. Venkatesh.
2017/GB/19: Matters pertaining to the Indian Journal of Urology
Dr. Rajeev Kumar presented the IJU Report to the General Body. He informed that the number of submissions
of articles for IJU has gone up. There has also been an increase in the submission of original articles which is a
good thing for the journal. He informed that there are 4 issues being published every year and a new cover has
now been implemented along with the PDF layout. He informed that this year the Journal was able to
generate more funds then it spent and has managed to have a surplus. There were also some changes in the
editorial committee with 6 new members joining the committee and which would be an ongoing process. He
informed that the IJU evening was held the previous evening where the IJU Awards were announced and
presented. The Editor's report was passed unanimously.
Proposed by Dr. P Venugopal and seconded by Brig. Rautray.
2017/GB/20: USI-JPAC Relationship and MOU
Dr. Rajeev Sood informed there were some developments regarding the USI – JPAC relations. He informed the
general body that in the MOU of USI with JPAC there were clauses that the President and Secretary of USI
would be invited for all the meetings. He informed that the MOU was renewed in 2010 and there was a clause
that it would be automatically renewed after a period of 4 years if there is no communication. He informed
that he has now received a letter from MPUH stating that as now the Board of Education has become fully
established; there is no need to continue the USI-JPAC MOU. He placed the matter for discussion to the
general body.
Dr. Sabnis informed that the MOU was created many years back with the objective that as there was a training
centre of JPAC, the courses of JPAC can be availed by the USI members at subsidized fees. But now more
activities are being done by BOE than JPAC and the objectives with which the MOU was signed no longer
matters. And therefore it was decided to withdraw from the relationship.
Dr. Lalmalani informed that when this MOU was started, there were funds that were given to JPAC to fund the
courses to the tune of Rs. 80 lakhs. Dr Lalmalani asked if the amount of 80 lakhs was returned to USI. He
mentioned that it should be returned. Dr Sood mentioned that the council at that time felt that it had been
donated to the other society. Dr. Lalmalani left it to the wisdom of the general body about the decision to be
taken. Dr Sood suggested writing a polite request to them to donate the 80 lakhs back to the society but it
cannot be forced on them. It was resolved that the relationship with JPAC is now over.
2017/GB/21: Letters from Members of the USI
Dr. Eashwar Gaud mentioned his letter about high registration charges during the annual conferences. He
requested USI to write a letter to the MCI that when sponsorships are permitted for stalls, lunches and other
academic purposes from the industry it should also be permitted for delegate registrations. Dr Sood
mentioned that a committee had already been constituted under Dr Krishnasamy Kannan and the matter is
being looked into.
As there were no more letters from the members the next agenda item was taken up.

Annual Report of the Hon. Secretary
Dear Friends,
I have great pleasure to table comprehensive secretarial report for the year 2017-18
I took over as Honorary Secretary of this prestigious society after Mumbai USICON. It took time for me to
understand how exactly a secretary functions, what are the obligatory requirements, what protocols to be
followed. However, over period of few months, I learned the technicalities – thanks to Dr D Ramesh & Mr
Navneet Arora.
I realized that communication is very important aspect of society's functioning. Members must know what is
happening, what programs are planned, & in which directions we are going. I started sending monthly mails
first one was as early as 10 days after I took over – on 1st of February 2017 & then regularly communicating
with members through email titled “Secretary Online”. I am happy that many members liked the idea &
appreciated it.
3 newsletters have already circulated which stated details of all activities which we have done. USI has done
several academic activities through BOE – like Mock Exam, Webcasts, focused CMEs, UROMET training
program etc, the details will come in BOE chairman's report. I must at this stage say that last program on
vascular access had overwhelming response. Not only we had to stop registrations, but we had to open
another hall as number exceeded than the capacity of existing hall. This was an eye opener to all of us. It only
shows that there is need to discuss topics which we do not touch routinely. Especially on the back ground of so
many workshops, CMEs, happening all over country which revolve around PCNL, RIRS, Laparoscopy, or BPH
enucleation. USI certainly will take lesson from it& we shall provide to members what they want.
When I took over as secretary, I had thought that as USI, we should think out of box. USI should do something
different & be a trend setter. COMPCON & Vascular Access CME were one such examples. However, I thought,
we organize lot of academic programs, but there are several non-urological issues, still of great importance to
urologists. Why don't we discuss them? Then idea came that legal issues are now becoming so relevant &
majority urologists in their busy practice are not aware of real facts. We keep hearing violence against
doctors, kidney racket identified…etc. That became genesis of organizing UROLEGACON. It also had
overwhelming response. Hall was pack to the capacity till last lecture on Sunday afternoon. All issues related
to PSPNDT act, Tx acts, MCI directives, were discussed. Mock trial was very informative & was enjoyed by all.
Every member who attended gave excellent feedback. From my point, experiment of starting a non-urological
CME was highly successful & we shall continue this trend & will find out some other non-urological area but of
great relevance to urologists.
I attended all 4 zonal conferences taken place at different places in each zone. I have already given detail
reports of all meeting in various newsletters. One thing which I observed that standard of all zonal
conferences is very high – be it in organizational matters or scientific content. It is heartening to see that many
sessions & discussions in it, were of international standard. In the beginning, I was wondering why it is
necessary for a secretary to attend all zonal conferences, is it to enjoy the hospitality, is it to go for sightseeing,
or is it to meet friends in different zones? Certainly, not. I feel as secretary it was my duty to attend all sessions,
listen to everyone, identify interesting topics, tap who are good speakers & take up those ideas to national
conference & give opportunity to those speakers at national level. I did that in all zones. I attended all sessions
till end. Just to give example of recently attended NZUSICON – a debate -live surgery Vs semi live surgery - was
conducted in highly professional manner. Contents, slides, delivery, timings – everything was of highest
standard. Such are the programs & such are the speakers should be promoted. I think zones should become
experimental laboratory of USI, whatever good happens, should percolate to national level. As a secretary, I
consider it as my duty.
In various newsletters, I have also put up report of international conferences which I have attended in official
capacity as secretary. Just to give a brief, NAUS (Nepal Urology Association) – attended by Me & president,
BAUS (Bangla Desh Urology association), was clashing with NAUS however President represented USI there,
by cutting short his trip to NAUS, EUA was attended by President & big delegation of USI. I attended AUA –
where we had leadership meeting which was attended by me, Dr. Dogra, & Dr. Aneesh as BOE Chairman Elect.
We discussed how the ties between USI & AUA can be strengthened further. President had opportunity &
invitation to attend various other meetings like, EUA, USANZ, Malysia urology association, UAA etc. Details
are already put in our previous newsletters.
Throughout the year, I communicated very frequently with all zonal secretaries. I asked their advice &
information about speakers, chairpersons for USICON. They have better idea from their zones & their
feedback is crucial. I was happy that I received good co-operation from all zonal secretaries on various
aspects.
This year I started survey on various aspects. Unfortunately, we do not have much strong data base through
registry of various diseases. We still do not have guidelines which will fit to our circumstances. We still do not
have clearer picture on how urologists make certain decisions, when it comes to management of various
diseases like, BPH, incontinence, stricture urethra. We conducted survey & analyzed them. BPH survey was
an eye opener. I have put detail analysis in newsletter. We are studying it further & make use of this big
database. I conducted the survey on organizational aspects of USICON. I had put up analysis in first newsletter.
Some of the information was contrary to what we keep thinking. I feel survey is a tool in which every member
has opportunity to express their opinion. Many times, in conferences & in AGMs, many members feel hesitant
& inhibited to talk. However as full members, their opinion has value. Survey gives opportunity to them to
express their opinion. USI can take lot of decision on findings of such survey in future.
As all of you are aware & as I have updated all of you time to time through secretary online & newsletters,
registration renewal was a major task ahead of us. I wanted to do many new things this year but I was fully
occupied especially in latter half of this year by charity commissioner's issues. I had taken challenge that
matter which is pending since 1983 & matter which we are after it since 2015, I will complete it. But soon I
realized that it is not so easy. I had to spend huge time on that. Matters now are near completion & hopefully
we should be fully compliant with all legal requirements fulfilled. I am putting separate report on this issue.
Last few months – we are busy in planning scientific deliberations of USICON. To plane scientific program is
like balancing act of walking on thin rope. AS I narrated in my communications earlier, 23 items in scientific
program are fixed – secretary has no control on them. In remaining duration, if we add paper presentations,
then there is hardly any time, left for secretary to make any change & make program interesting. All of us have
to think over it. We had lot of discussion in council about it. This time we have significantly reduced no of
papers accepted for presentation in moderated sessions. Now-a days PG students have ample opportunity to
present their work at city, state, zonal levels & hence we thought only selected papers should come to
national level. This has given us some more time slots for other sessions. In a restricted number of paper
acceptance, it is important that only high quality papers are accepted. All abstracts which came under various
category – were coded & sent to 5 reviewers. Average of their marks was taken & then final list was prepared
of accepted papers for various prize category, & moderated poster, video or podium session. This time we
have not restricted only to stipulated 4 sub specialties but incorporated all subspecialties in program. So,
audience will have wider choices to attend sessions as per their liking. Live surgeries will gradually fade out
from scientific program as per the decisions taken in past. This time semi live surgery session is included. It will
be interesting to see how it goes. I request all of you to see web site for details.
We are still lacking in proper use of social media platforms. I have started twitter account. But still very few
followers. May be next year, we can promote it aggressively. We have to use video conferencing facilities for
our council meetings. Now there are so many programs like Skype are available to talk simultaneously with
many people. We must use them. This will avoid not only expenses but tiring journeys which council members
have to make. Urolegacon was an experiment of No frill, low budget, low registration fee, high quality content
conference without industry support. I have always felt, USI should eventually become self-sufficient in
organizing scientific programs. With urolegacon we have proved that we can do it. There are still many more
new things many new experiments to do, may be next year, hopefully, if charity commissioner issue gets
sorted out, we can focus on several new things for the benefit of members.
Lastly I must thank president Dr. Dogra & all other council members for extending full support &
encouragement to me.As I keep saying, secretary is only a face of council & council is face of all members of
USI& therefore whatever I am doing, credit is not mine but it goes to council & eventually of course to all of
you.
Long live USI.
Thank you,
Dr. Ravindra Sabnis

Renewal of Registration Issue with Charity Commissioner
Dear friends,
We wish to give you update about our registration process.
What are the facts:1) Our society is registered with charity commissioner in 1982 at Mumbai. We have registration
number & we are governed by rules & regulation of charitable trust acts of Maharashtra.
2) This act is of 1858, amended thereafter many times.
3) In Mumbai – since charity commissioner's office is present, we have to deal with charity commissioner's office. This office is like judge with procedure like court. – wherein we have to appear through a lawyer.
4) Since ours is charitable society – registered under charity commissioner – we have to submit certain documents to this office every year – like Minutes of AGM, change of executive council members, any amendments in constitution that is made, attendance of AGM – within 90 days of AGM.
5) As per the rule, any amendments passed by AGM – are reviewed by CC's office to see if there is any violation of society's act. If there is none – then CC's office informs us & then amendments can come in force once they are ratified by next AGM.
6) Since 1982 – we have not done this procedure. It was realized first time in 2015 & then process of renewal was started. The then council appointed Advocate Sujata from Mumbai to liaison between USI & CC's office.
7) Several documents were collected, change reports signed by previous council members were collected. Some past office bearers were not traceable; some had passed away & collecting these documents became huge task. It took long time, almost 2 years, however that was ultimately done. Appeal was made to CC's office to condone the delay & renew our registration.
8) This was status when we (Dr. Sabnis, Dr. Rajiv TP & Dr. Vaze) took over.
9) We initially tried to understand problem & then started moving fast to complete the procedure. We too it as challenge.
10) Again, there were demand for so many documents, affidavits, notarized papers etc. We provided everything as & when they were required. 2 big bags full original documents were brought from Delhi for submission. Almost 1000 xerox papers were submitted. Then actual hearing was started.
11) So far 5 hearings are done. Dr. Ajiv Vaze was nominated by council as reporting trustee & Dr. Sabnis as Secretary. Both of us appeared for hearings. Advocate Sujata played an important role in pursuing Charity commissioner about reasons of noncompliance.
12) We brought to CC's notice – a) Non-reporting to CC's office was out of ignorance b) So far from 1982 we have made many amendments in constitution & they are in force.
However, from the time we realized the mistake of not reporting to CC – in 2015 – all amendments thereafter are not implemented & status co is maintained. Which implies our ignorance & not deliberate attempt of non-reporting.
c) Our IT returns are filed regularly & accounts are up-to-date
13) After many hearing & Advocates arguments – CC accepted our appeal to condone the delay. He ordered to pay penalty for delay.
14) Penalty fees of Rs. 3400 was paid to CC's office. & CC now has accepted the appeal for delay condonation. 1st part was successfully done.
15) 2nd part is now to make CC accept the change report of council members (which is more of technical matter) & changes in all amendments done so far. CC's office will review all changes to see if any amendment is violating the society's act.
16) For change report of council members – previously submitted documents – like self-attested photo id was not adequate. Now they needed affidavit. However, any one council member's affidavit was sufficient.
17) Again, so many affidavits were prepared, got them notarized from one member of each council.
18) All those documents are now submitted to CC's office. We have requested CC to give earlier date for hearing.
This is the update of our renewal process with charity commissioner's office. We sincerely hope that process finishes before USICON 2018 at Jaipur. Once we get the renewal, we shall be in process to implement everything in the constitution that we have amended after 2015 (like e-voting, & secretary, treasure elect post).
The whole process of getting this renewal has been long & tedious journey. We are still not completely done but hopefully it will be finished fast as our main appeal of delay condonation is accepted. We also realized that we are not aware of so many legal matters & as office bearers it is our duty to know them.
In this process, we had to make so many visits to CC's office in Mumbai. Appear for hearing. We must thank Mr. Navneet Arora of central office to work extra hours, at times overnight, to prepare the tables, sheets, comparative charts etc We must also thank our advocate Sujata, who in her wisdom, could convince the CC that delay in reporting was out of ignorance.
Let's hope that all our efforts work, with blessings & good wishes from every one of you & we get the renewal of registration before USICON. If that happens – it will be real celebration time.

Hon. Treasurer Report
Dear Members,
Greetings from Guwahati.
It is my pleasant duty to present to you the audited statement of accounts for the year ending 31st March’
2017. The total membership of USI has been increasing every year and presently it has crossed 3800 and few
more would be added before I present my report in the AGM.
The financial health of the Society is in good health with the total assets crossing over 9.3 crores. We cannot
be happy that we have 9 crores as assets, as the returns we get from these assets is not sufficient enough to
meet the expenses of the Society to fulfil its objectives on its own. As the membership of the Society is
growing and new activities are being planned for the members, we need to appropriately make plans
regarding our finances. Currently, most of our expenditures on academic activities are dependent on the
sponsorships from Pharmaceutical companies. We have budgeted this year and have looked upon ways of
improving our income so that we are self sufficient enough atleast to run the central office and the
educational activities including the Indian Journal of Urology.
I am happy to inform the members that the income tax issues have been settled and we have received the
refund of 38 lakhs from the Income Tax Department for the previous years till March 2016.
We have filed our amendments and change reports with the Charity Commissioner’s office at Mumbai, which
is being processed. All efforts are being made to complete the formalities at the earliest.
The members of the USI had entrusted the responsibility of Hon Treasurer to me which I am trying to do to the
best of my ability. I am enjoying the work entrusted to me and am trying to streamline the finances of the
Society by appropriately budgeting and making necessary allocations. I thank Dr P N Dogra, President, USI; Dr
R B Sabnis, Hon Secretary, USI; Dr Ajit Vaze, President Elect, USI for their guidance and all the council
members for their help and valuable support.
I would like to thank Mr Navneet Arora and his team for taking care of the Central Office & Mr Rahul Sabbarwal
for taking care of the accounts with all dedication.
Looking forward to meet you all at USICON 2018 at Jaipur.
Thanking You,
Long Live USI
Dr Rajeev T P
Hon.Treasurer,
