11. Forming advisory committee

Dr Gauri Arora said that ISA NCB needs an Advisory Committee. This committee was last formed in the year 2020 consisting of Dr Ashutosh Chaoji, Dr Bhau Rajurkar and Dr Pratibha Deshmukh. She said that according to the constitution, the member should have experience of 25 years and one member will change every year. The President of that tenure will appoint the new member of the advisory committee. Dr Manisha Shembekar said that this was proposed when she was President, but it was not implemented. Dr. Gauri Arora proposed the names for the advisory committee and they were Dr BhauRajurkar, Dr Prathibha Deshmukh and Dr Shubhda Deshmukh.

The names were passed by the house. Dr Kiran said that Dr Rajurkar sir is a part of Grievance committee also.

13. Any other matter with the Permission of the chair

I. Dr Manisha Shembekar said we should have two GBMs in one year. Dr Kiran said it was in guidelines of National ISA to have one AGBM. Dr Vikram added that initially we use to have 2 GBM per year. Dr Cham said that as it an Annual GBM it has to be conducted only once the year. This was passed by the house.

II. Dr Umesh Ramtani said we should have Sub Committee of Private Practitioner Forum and President can select the members of the committee. Dr Vikram Alsi said that one Executive member should be a member of Private Practitioner Forum and President can appoint the committee in the Joint executive Committee Meeting. The house passed Dr. Vikram Alsi’s name to head the sub-committee.

III. Dr Dalal said that all Committees to be displayed on website. She also said that subcommittee members should be headed by executive committee member and non-executive member can be member of the sub committees. Dr Gauri Arora replied that the upcoming President can make the criteria for the same.

IV. Dr Gauri Arora informed the house that a correction has to be made in one of the criteria of Sindhu Ingle Award for Best Public Awareness because in the website it is not mentioned that the applicant should be a non-executive member whereas in the minutes of the GBM of the year when the award was started mentions so. The correction is that the member applying for the award should be a non-executive member of ISA NCB. Dr Kiran said that there is a misprint on the website. House granted permission for the correction. Dr Umesh Ramtani asked that if there is no applicant for the award , what should be done?May be this should be discussed with Dr Anjali Bhure Madam. Dr Saurabh Barde said that every award should be for Non-Executive member. Dr Kiran said executive team cannot apply for the Awards. Dr Cham said that executive member can apply but preference should be given to non executive members. President Dr Gauri Arora replied that every member has equal right to participate and win prizes. An executive member is a member first and hence and can enter the competitions. Dr Cham said there is a possibility of partiality due to pressure from President or others . To this Dr Gauri Arora replied that when somebody is in the position of President,or a judge, he or she has to be impartial. Dr Vikram added that it is unlikely that anybody will be partial. Dr Barde said that for participation in various competition, it is not written anywhere that executive member cannot participate in the competition. Dr Umesh added that if executive will not be eligible for participation in competition, executives will be discouraged. Decision was passed by the house that the things will remain the same as it is been followed till now and executive can participate and win prizes except where it is specifically mentioned for them to be ineligible.

V. Next matter was criteria for the executive member to apply for the post i.e compulsory to attend one GBM out of last three GBMs. Dr Cham said that incoming president should be aware of his team and encourage them to attend GBM. Same rule will be applicable for the application of executive member was decided by the house. Dr Gauri Arora said we will consider the applications and preference will be given to those who have attended the GBM. Dr Kiran added that this will take some time. Dr Gauri Arora said from next tenure onward this will be promoted.

VI. In any other matter Dr Vrishali Anakalwar said if executive committee member remains absent for consecutive three times, President should take disciplinary action on the executive member.Dr Kiran added that there are rules in the constitution to deal with the absence of the executive committee member. Dr Gauri said that in future executive members should attend the meetings. Question was raised in the house that if President takes disciplinary action and the executive member is removed from the team, then from where the president will have another executive member in the mid-tenure. Dr Alsi said that, new member can be co-opted by the team for the post and should be given preference next year. This was supported by Dr Umesh Ramtani and Dr Sarita Joglekar. Dr Vrushali said that all executive committee members should register for CMEs , as it has been noticed many of them don’t register. Dr Barde said that President should decide this and should have control over the team members. Dr Sarita said that we have many activities nowadays and it is not possible to attend each and every activity and we can’t do compulsion for the same. Dr Gauri Arora said that all executive team member should inform about their absentia in advance. She also added that every executive committee member should get registered for the CMEs otherwise it is difficult to ask other members to register. She also requested that faculties and chairpersons should also get registered for the CMEs.

VII. In any other matter, a post of additional Joint Secretary in the team was raised as few times we don’t get eligible candidates for the posts. Dr. Rashmi said that last year also a similar point was raised by her in the GBM which was not passed. Dr Vikram raised the point that if some one steps out of the stepladder pattern of posts adapted at ISA NCB, it is makes it difficult to find candidate for the necessary post. If more candidates are available, then election can solve the problem and we can have adequate pool of candidates. Dr Sarita said that still after doing this we can have problems.Dr Kamlakar Pawar suggested that we can have two Joint secretaries and senior ISA NCB member should be given preference. Dr Cham said that problem was there during elections of last year, this year there was no problem. He added that we can increase one Executive member instead. Dr Umesh and Dr Barde supported and said that we can increase the number of executive members. Total number of members was asked to which Dr Dilip Wasnik replied that we have total 647 members out of which 441 are Life Members and 206 are associate members. It was passed by the house that One more executive member will be added to Executive committee team from the year 2025-26.

VIII. Dr Gauri informed the house that this year during the elections our voting percentage was showing low as many of our members have shifted abroad but their names exists in our list, which reduces our marks during point calculation for awards. She said that we are trying to add life members to ISA NCB and converting inactive member to active members. Dr Gauri said, she had activated 32 members last year before the elections when Dr Cham was a candidate. Question was raised in the house about what should be done for the members who are abroad. Dr Barde said such members name should be informed to ISA National Headquarters. Dr Umesh said we have to make list of such members. Dr Cham said we can ask ISA National to remove such members from city branch and keep them with ISA National membership. Dr Gauri Arora agreed that we will send a communication to ISA National about this issue and will try to resolve it. Dr Barde said that deceased members should be informed to ISA National. Dr. Kiran Vyawahare suggested that we can appoint some executive member for this work.

IX. In any other matter there was discussion on the term of Governing Council (GC)Member SAMS. Dr Gauri Arora said that one term is of 2 years and if someone continues for two terms then the next eligible member has to wait for four years for his/her turn to become GC SAMS. Dr Sheetal Dalal will be contesting the election next year for the post of State Secretary and so, she will continue to be GC member for this term. Last year Dr Kiran was eligible for GC member post. There are senior members who are interested in becoming GC members. Dr Barde said this all can be done by mutual understanding. Dr Manisha Shembekar asked if no mutual understanding is there then what to do? Dr Barde replied that there is rule of attending 3 State GBMs and we can also do elections for the same. He also said that for 150 members we have one GC post ,so we can ask for one more GC member seat for ISA NCB. We should do email for the post of 3 rd GC Member and also president should appoint one officer for updating voter list.

X. In any other matter Dr Cham raised a question about having two Guests of honour at the CME and workshop held at GMC in association with ISA NCB. Dr Cham said we should have had one Chief Guest for the inaugural function. President Dr Gauri Arora replied that it was a program in collaboration with Dept of Anaesthesiology , GMC, Nagpur. Dr Jigeeshu Divatia was invited as guest faculty for the CME and Workshop and as he is National President of ISA so, it was an honour to have him as Guest of Honour. Dr. Raj Gajbhiye, Dean GMC Nagpur was also invited for the Inaugural function as an eminent dignitary. Dr Gauri said that one dignitary cannot be given a superior position over the other. She explained that Dr. Divatia, ISA National President is superior from point of view of ISA Nagpur city branch and can’t be put at a lesser position. Also respected Dean GMC Nagpur cannot be at a lesser position. She explained that she tried to find a way and searched the Dictionary where she found that there can be two Guests Of honour for the same program and that’s why the collaborative program of ISA NCB and GMC had two Guests of Honour for the Inaugural function of the CME and workshop.Dr Cham said that he still feels there should be a Chief Guest and should have asked others. Dr. Gauri Arora explained that Chief guest can be only one but there can be two Guests of honour. Dr Vikram Alsi said, he thinks that those who have organised the CME and Workshop can decide what has to be done. He said that don’t force anybody to make it compulsory. Dr Gauri Arora asserted that faith has to be reposed on the capabilities of the elected President, so that the President can decide what is appropriate for that situation. For every small matter it may not be possible for the President to consult others and should have a free hand to take decisions to the best of knowledge and understanding. Dr Cham insisted that we should have spoken to Dr Divatia.

1) Welcome by the President:
The meeting was started at 6.30 pm and then adjourned as the quorum was not complete. The meeting was restarted after 10 minutes at 6.40 pm. President ISA-NCB Dr Gauri Arora welcomed GC National West zone Dr C S Cham, GC SAMS Dr. Manisha Shembekar, GC, President Elect Dr Umesh Ramtani, Dr Rashmi Shingade Immediate past president, Dr Devyani Immediate past Secretary and all other senior members of ISA-NCB.
President Dr. Gauri Arora put forward request of Dr Sheetal Dalal Special Executive ISA NCB and GC SAMS and Dr Sonali Khobragade Joint Secretary ISA NCB for online access to attend the emergency GBM. The House denied the permission for online attendance for the same.
The first agenda was taken up for discussion:

2) Financial related discussion in view of inadequate funds in ISA NCB accounts. Dr. Gauri Arora, President ISA NCB appraised the house about the financial handover received from the previous team and the current financial position explaining that since a large amount pending from previous team had to be paid, so there is an acute shortage of fund for the running
expenditures. Also, just after taking handover, two big programs have been conducted with the sanctioned amount for expenditure from ISA NCB.

Dr Gauri Arora said as per the minutes of last GBM, interest of Fixed Deposit will be deposited in the saving account and the new fixed deposit will be formed with the base amount of the FD for one year. Account details of the saving account was shared with house. She raised the matter of Dr Chams Sir’s contribution for the CHAMS Professional Excellence Award. She informed that CHAMS Professional Excellence Award has been started from the year 22-23 through GBM since the discontinuation of diploma in Anaesthesia by MUHS University. Lalla Cham Award used to be given to the DA topper earlier which was started by Dr. Cham. He has already contributed Rs. 1lakh towards this award details given as below:

a. Rs. 3,000/- Lalla Cham Award
b. Rs. 5,000/- in the year 2010
c. Rs. 10,000-/ in the year 26.02.2015
d. Rs. 10,000-/ in the year 10.01.2017
e. Rs. 22,000/- in the year 15.01.2018
f. Rs. 25,000/- in the year 03.06.2021
g. Rs. 25,000/- in the year 21.07.2022

Dr C S Cham donated 4 post-dated cheques of Rs. 25,000/- each to be deposited during the year 23-24, out of which 3 cheques are already deposited in the savings account of ISA NCB. One cheque will be deposited on the month of Feb 24. It was passed in the earlier GBM that when Dr. Cham’s contribution of Rs 200000/- will be completed for the award, an FD of two lac rupees shall be made by the existing team in the month of February.

This fund which was donated by Dr C S Cham was unknowingly utilized by the subsequent Executive teams of ISA NCB. So, the house was asked to suggest how to cover up the deficit of Rs one lac to make an FD of two lacs for this award. It was suggested and finalized through discussion that the FD shall be made in the month of September 2024 and Rs one lac deficit shall be covered up by encashment of the FD which was made from the surplus amount of ISACON Maharashtra conference held in 2021 with a base amount of 7,80,000/-, out of which Rs 1,00,000 will be taken and again FD of 6,80,000 will be made for one year. Senior members suggested that in the future FDs should be made yearly.

Dr Gauri Arora informed about the about the various non award ISA NCB FDs. Dr Saurabh Barde asked about the amount of various FD of ISA NCB. Dr Gauri gave him all the details about the FDs. Dr. Devyani Thakur, immediate past secretary gave more information of the FDS which got matured and the interest that got deposited in the saving account. Dr. Gauri Arora informed the house that in the last GBM held on 28th July 2023, it was decided that the interest of the FDs that were getting rolled over without being deposited into the savings account for utilization, will be credited and brought into account and the original deposit amount shall again be put into an FD. So, it will be maturity amount minus the deposit amount which will be brought to the saving account. Dr Rashmi Singhade raised a query that for longstanding award FDs the base amount might have been very less and the corpus has grown manifolds, So, whether the whole corpus will be withdrawn to the account?

To this the house said that the deposited amount with previous accumulated interest will be rolled over, only the last interest will be credited to the saving account.

3) Any other matter with the permission of the chair.
With the permission of chair organizing committee of YUVAMAHACON20 23 were asked to present the financial report of the conference account. To this Dr. Umesh Ramtani, organizing Chairman of YUVAMACON 2023 said that the report is a preliminary one as a final report is not ready. Dr Bhau Rajurkar senior ISA NCB member questioned as to why provisional report of the conference
was not ready even six months after conference? Dr Saurabh Barde said that due to this delay, there will be delay in receiving the fund from SAMS which is due on account of holding the conference. Preliminary financial report of the conference was given by Dr Gunjan Badwaik , Treasurer Yuvamahacon 2023 and informed that there is a deficit of about one lac seventy five thousand. He also informed that about one lac fifty thousand rupees has been paid extra in the form of GST which will remain deposited into ISA NCB GST account which may be utilized for future conferences.

Dr Cham commented that we should have been able to save money from the conference as profit. He said conference registration amount should be used for all the expenditures and trade amount will be our profit. Explanation was sought by Dr Cham, as to why so many National guests and state office bearers were invited and how much money was spent for the arrangements that were done for them.

Dr. Umesh Ramtani gave the explanation. He said everybody was invited according the protocols sent to them and under guidance from state. He also explained that the amount generated from the trade was enough to meet the expenses which was roughly calculated at the pre-conference meeting held at Maharaj- Bagh Club lawn.

Dr. Cham said that freebees to the office bearers, Governing Council members from national and state should be decreased.

Dr. Manisha Shembekar GC SAMS commented that the income and expenditure part has to be pre-calculated and pre-planned so that there is no deficit at least, if no profit.

Dr. Kiran Vyawahare added that fund we receive from state for the conference is very less.

Dr. Gauri Arora asked the house, from where to pay the pending bills of vendors of YUVAMAHACON as there is a deficit in the accounts. After discussion it was decided to pay the vendors through encashment of two non-award FDs, of one lakh each which have had latest renewal so that there is minimum interest loss, to pay for the pending bills of Yuvamahacon 2023. It was also decided that provisional financial report of any conference should be presented within 6 months after the conference. As there was no other matter for discussion, the GBM was concluded.

4. Hon. Secretary ISA-NCB Dr.Dilip Wasnik proposed a formal vote of thanks, which was followed by the National Anthem.

• Dr. Kiran informed that the amendments have been already circulated to all members.
• The amendments done by the constitution committee as per the minutes are as follows were read by Dr. Kiran.
  1. As per the article 3A( i) of the constitution of ISA NCB, the tenure of the executive team was from 1st April to 31st March but as per the new National guidelines the tenure will be from 16th October of the current year to 15th October of the next year so as to bring the uniformity across all the branches at the National level. The amendment in this article is henceforth, the tenure of the new team shall be from 16th October of current year to 15th October of the next year.
  2. As per article 2A in the constitution, there were two GBM in a year in the month of April and other in the month of December. The amendment in this article is that henceforth there, will be only one GBM to be held in the month of July .The audited accounts prepared by the honorary treasurer shall be presented in this GBM. The Election process with the declaration of the new team shall also be done in this GBM.
  3. As per the minutes in the GBM on 24 th July 2021 the minimum required attendance by any ISANCB office bearer that was agreed and approved was two out of three GBM for the post of Joint Secretary, treasurer, Hon. Secretary, Vice President. The amendment regarding the mandatory attendance of GBM for the post of the Joint secretary, Treasurer, Hon. Secretary, Vice President of the executive committee henceforth , shall be two out of three GBM and for the executive members it will be at least one GBM out of three.
  4. As per the article 3A (viii )of the constitution if an executive member remains absent for the three consecutive executive committee meetings without prior intimation and without valid reason then the executive member will be disqualified for the post. Dr. Cham said that the instead of disqualifying permanently, executive should be suspended for 5 years. Here Dr. Saurabh Barde intervened and said that as per the amendment that executive will be out of the executive committee and hence there is no question of taking a post later so the clause will remain that the executive will be disqualified permanently. The amendment in this article is that henceforth, the executive member should not be allowed to take up the official post permanently and moreover the executive member shall not be eligible for any awards in the different competitions conducted by the society for next consecutive 5 years.
  5. As per General Bye laws 10 the Annual day is to be celebrated on 1st or 2nd Saturday of January Due to the new National guidelines and the tenure change the amendment in this article is that henceforth, Annual day is to be shifted from the month of January to month of June and late Dr E.G. Tambe oration will also take place in month of June. Henceforth, the Foundation day will be held separately in the month of January.

     Dr. Saurabh pointed out from Point 4-3 of minutes of last GBM Point 4-3) of GBM held on 24 th July 2021 Mandatory minimum attendance of the GBMs by the members to be eligible to become office bearers of the ISA NCB (Initially this will be applicable for the posts – Joint Secretary onwards and later on further amendments can be sought as required) Dr. Saurabh Barde asked about one clarification from the house related to the bylaws of minimum attendance of GBMs for the future office bearers. He asked as to What will happens if someone fails to attend the minimum required number while the lower post holder person has attended the required number of GBMs? To which after discussion amongst members it was unanimously agreed that the member who has not fulfilled this criteria will be automatically disqualified and the next in line fulfilling eligibility would get the chance to be office bearer for a particular post. Over this point from last GBM Dr. Saurabh told the house that this time only one application was received for the post of Hon. Secretary. Although she was not eligible according to the criteria of attendance of GBM. She was considered for the post as no other application was received. Dr. Anjali Bhure madam, the constitution committee member, said that since the the mandatory attendance criteria was applied for the first time and the members had no chance to attend the GBM and many people did not fit in this criteria. Since only one application was received for the post she was considered for the said post. Dr. Cham accepted this and said that we have to plan the eligibility criteria in such a way that the decision becomes easy. Dr. Saurabh Barde as Election officer said that henceforth if similar situation arises the post should be re-advertise. President Dr. Kiran also agreed that the post should be re-advertised. Dr. Vikram Alsi said that the academic activity can be considered if such situation arises but it was unanimously decided that the GBM attendance should be the criteria and not the academic activity.

     Dr. Gauri Arora Special executive member of 21-22 has asked in the meeting that since it is a step ladder pattern and as a President, She may not get the eligible executive member for the year (23-24) as the attendance of GBM criteria will be instituted. The members in meeting responded that in that case any member who has applied will be selected for the post. In the discussion of the candidature for the Hon. Secretary post if the treasure said no to the post, Dr. Cham said if the treasurer said no to the Post of secretary then the next eligible candidate will be asked for the post. On this point Dr. Saurabh said that if the post of the treasurer and the secretary is together 2 years then the treasurer has to accept the post of Hon. Secretary. Dr. Shubhda Deshmukh madam commented over this point that though step ladder pattern is there the compulsion could not be done for the treasurer to take the post. Dr. Vikram Alsi said out of 8 executive members only one person can go for the post of Joint Secretary & rest out of team. Over this point president elect Dr. Rashmi Shingade said that we can think of the post of two joint Secretaries so that in such situations. Dr. Cham sir said that keeping two posts of joint secretaries will not solve the problem and the only one post of joint secretary is to be there. Dr. Sheetal Dalal said this year joint secretary and the treasurer both were not willing to go take the Secretary post.

     Over this Dr. S. K. Deshpande Sir commented that Dr. Sachin has helped in last hour in last EGBM to accept the treasurer post. One suggestion came from the Dr. S. K. Deshpande sir that Dr. Sachin can continue for the post of treasurer and someone else can be Hon, Secretary. Over this Dr. Vikram Alsi said that the Dr. Sachin could not continue this year due to personal reason so no question of continuing the post & Dr. Cham commented that he can apply for the Secretary post any time in future as he is eligible anytime onwards. Dr. Kiran said that Dr. Sachin can go for the Secretary post directly next year as Dr. Rashmi Shingade became the Hon. Secretary without being the joint Secretary or the treasurer anytime and Dr. Sachin has already done the official treasurer post.

     Dr.Saurabh Barde GC member MSCISA has made a sincere request to all future, Presidents that those members who have not attended GBM not to consider them for elections. Dr. Vrushali Ankalwar said instead of GBM, academic activities to be considered as the criteria. Dr. Cham responded to this that the GBM is the official meet and has to be considered and understanding of the constitution is must for the person applying for the executive post. Dr. Sonali Bhagat executive member asked that, can one person apply for two posts at one point of time? The members cleared that it can be applied, over this Dr. Cham commented that he has to leave one post, he could not be at two post officially.

5) Audited Report of last financial year (2021-22)

General Body Meeting of Indian Society of Anaesthesiologists, Nagpur City Branch was held on
24/07/2021 at M T Paithankar Hall IMA Premises at 6.30 pm onwards. The agenda for the GBM was:
1) Welcome by the President
2) Obituaries
3) Confirmation of Minutes of Last GBM
4) Business arising out of minutes of last GBM
5) Audited Report of last financial year (2020-21)
6) Election of the new executive team of ISA NCB for the year 2021-22
7) Conference Updates
8) Any other matter with the permission of the chair
9) Vote of Thanks

1) Welcome by the President
The meeting started with first agenda. President ISA NCB Dr Saurabh Barde welcomed all the members.
He expressed that unlike last GBM which was delayed because of Covid pandemic, fortunately this GBM
could be held on time because of low case load/ safe window period time. He congratulated every
member of the branch and especially all those who actually worked in covid hospitals for their
tremendous contribution towards the society at large. He also mentioned that thehe members who
did not get the opportunity to work in the covid hospitals are also praiseworthy because of their
contribution to the cause of patient care in this pandemic by some or the other way.
2) Obituaries
The second agenda for the meeting was Obituaries. Dr Saurabh Barde mentioned that We have lost one
of our very senior member, Past President of our society and recipient of Smt Kamalbai
Deshpande memorial Lifetime Achievement Award – Dr Anant Mashankar sir.

On behalf of ISA Nagpur City Branch, homage was paid to the departed soul by standing up with 1
minute of silence. Members of ISA NCB expressed sincere condolences to the family members of all
the people who lost their lives in the ongoing Covid pandemic.

3) Confirmation of Minutes of Last GBM
The next agenda was confirmation of Minutes of last GBM. Minutes of last GBM have been sent to all
the members by email by Honorary Secretary Dr Deepak Madankar. The minutes were confirmed by Dr
Kiran Vyawhare and seconded by Dr Manisha Shembekar.

4) Business arising out of minutes of last GBM
The next agenda was business arising out of the minutes of last GBM.
The first point which was put forward by Dr Saurabh Barde was Amendments in the Constitution.
Dr Saurabh Barde mentioned that in the last General Body Meeting, he had put the query regarding
combining of both the GBMs in one tenure (for audited accounts report and for elections of new
executive team) into one GBM (having both the agenda in single GBM). House had unanimously agreed
for the single GBM. So henceforth our branch will have single annual GBM in the month of July with
agenda of Audited Accounts report and elections of New Executive Team included.
Another point which was discussed and agreed upon in the last GBM was minimum attendance of the
GBMs by the members to be eligible for the post of office bearer of ISA NCB. This is in accordance with
the National and State level. Basically this was discussed to increase the attendance of at least the
executive team members who should always be present in the GBM so that they know the conduction
of business in the organisaton. At that time in last GBM, It was suggested that the number should be 3
out of last 5 GBMs.
Dr Saurabh Barde asked the house, should we go ahead with the same or some changes needs to be
done? Because henceforth there will be only one GBM per year and to consider last 5 GBMs, it will take
5 years and our term of Executive member is just one year and only TWO years post required to become
eligible for the higher posts. Dr Sheetal Dalal and few other members opined that those people who
wish to serve ISA in future should atleast attend the GBMs to know about the functioning of ISA City
branch. Dr Cham Sir suggested that we can keep it as 2 out of last 3 GBMs. This was unanimously
approved and agreed by all the members present.
Dr Saurabh Barde told that, in the future election form, the candidate will have to write the year of the
GBM attended and the serial number on the attendance sheet and hence the next elected team will
have to modify the election form suitably.

Dr Saurabh Barde also informed that the attendance record and minutes of GBMs will be available on
our website wp.isanagpur.org from the last GBM and hence forth login access will be provided to all
ISA NCB members using OTP on mobile and email. For this we are updating the website with online
directory which will include all the details of ISA NCB members who have paid membership fees to the
Nagpur City branch. This will not include those members who are national members and opted for our
branch but have not become the branch member. Soon all the members will get a form to be filled with
own details and a photograph. After members submit the form, we will scrutinize and confirm whether
that person is really a member of ISANCB from our data available till date and then only that person will
get access to the website page having details of GBMs and attendance record.
Dr Saurabh Barde requested and appealed to all the incoming future office bearers/Secretaries to keep
the new members record and hand over the same to the successor in the Excel sheet. This was being
followed previously, but somehow later on this got discontinued and presently we do not have the
continuation of that excel sheet with new members added and hence not able to trace the same now.
He also emphasized that, the ready availability of the details helps us in knowing exact membership
number of the branch and also we can try making inactive members at national level to active members
eligible for voting instead of knowing at the last minute that few members are inactive or few have
wrong or changed details and hence cannot vote. Also we can find out who have opted for Nagpur
branch and have not become the members of the branch.
Next discussion was about the constitution committee which was formed in the last GBM comprising of
Dr Cham sir, Dr Bhure madam and Dr Gadkari madam. Dr Saurabh requested the committee to please
look into all these amendments in the constitution and give us in the prescribed format; so that we
should be able to update the constitution before our tenure is over. The points for the amendments
included:
1) Change of dates of tenure of the executive team
2) Single annual General body meeting instead of two GBMs
3) Mandatory minimum attendance of the GBMs by the members to be eligible to become office
bearers of the ISA NCB (Initially this will be applicable for the posts – Joint Secretary onwards and later
on further amendments can be sought as required)
Dr Saurabh Barde asked about one clarification from the house related to the bylaws of minimum
attendance of GBMs for the future office bearers. He asked as to What will happens if someone fails to
attend the minimum required number while the lower post holder person has attended the required
number of GBMs? To which after discussion amongst members it was unanimously agreed that the
member who has not fulfilled this criteria will be automatically disqualified and the next in line fulfilling
eligibility would get the chance to be office bearer for a particular post.

Adding Further to the discussion, on the minutes of the last GBM, Dr Saurabh Barde told that it was
suggested to him as the President to appoint one person each for various committees at National and
state level. But because of the ongoing pandemic, involvement of most members with Covid, we were
not able to send the names this year. He requested the incoming President Dr Kiran Vyawahare to look
into this thing in the next tenure. We had also confirmed the name of the Auditor – Mr Abhay Upadhyay
as Chartered Accountant for the years 2021 and 2022. So I did not add this point in the agenda of this
GBM. Next team will need to that.

5) Audited Report of last financial year (2020-21)
The next agenda is presentation of Audited Accounts report for the last financial year 2020-2021. Dr
Sarita Joglekar presented the details of the accounts of last financial year as follows:

requested DR Cham to make it as a total of 100000/- to which Dr Cham agreed to give further
contribution of Rs 25000 soon making it as Total of Rs 100000/- (One lakh only)

6) Election of the new executive team of ISA NCB for the year 2021-22

decided on two names:
1) Dr Saurabh Barde

7) Conference Updates
Next Agenda was about the Conference updates. Maharashtra ISACON conference, Organising Secretary

second wave of covid Pandemic and expected third ware, it has been unanimously decided by organising

virtual conference if possible.
Dr Cham informed the house that scientific program for the conference is almost finalised and since this
is a Maharashtra state conference this time we are giving more emphasis and inviting young and
dynamic speakers from Maharashtra to deliver the talk. we have requested senior anesthesiologists to
either chair or judge the sessions and guide to the young speakers with their valuable and active

working in various committees. She urged everyone to make efforts for maximum registrations and
participate actively to make this conference a grand success.

8) Any other matter with the permission of the chair

Dr Kiran Vyawhare stated that, now since there is a change in the tenure months that is from 16th
October to 15th October, we will have to readjust the timings of various programs like the annual day
which is usually done in January, should be shifted to may or June. Scheduling of few other programs
may also need to be readjusted accordingly. Dr Saurabh requested Dr Cham to put this suggestion in our
constitution officially. It was also suggested that till now prizes for all the competitions held, would be
given by the present team of ISA NCB 2020-21 in the upcoming Annual day. So next team would be
giving prizes during their tenure.

wonderful work done through out in the last one and half year in spite of Covid pandemic.
Dr Gauri Arora said that since there is change in the tenure months that is from march to march which
used to also co-inside with financial year to 16th October to 15th October. Now it will be difficult to know
the financial performance of a particular team. Dr Cham suggested that we can ask the CA to split up the
account details if required and can be presented to the members.
Dr Cham stated that although he has lost the recent MSCISA Elections for the post of President Elect, he
thanked all the members of ISA NCB for their support. He also expressed his desire to contest again in
next MSCISA Elections for the same post. Various members expressed their opinions as to how we can
make maxim um of our members to active ones so that all could vote without hassles in the future
elections.
As there was no other matter for discussion, GBM was concluded.
Hon Secretary ISA NCB Dr Deepak Madankar proposed the vote of thanks which was followed by
National Anthem.

10) Any other matter with the permission of the chair
At the outset, President ISA NCB, Dr Saurabh Barde welcomed all the members. President Dr
Saurabh Barde congratulated the executive team led by Dr Manisha Shembekar for excellent
performance all over the year and also for bagging the best city branch award at National level.
As the quorum for the meeting was not complete, the meeting was adjourned and recalled
after 10 minutes.
Obituaries: Homage was paid to Late Dr Shirolkar Sir, by standing with two minutes of silence
by all the members present. Homage was also paid to all the doctor colleagues and paramedical
staff of the country who lost the battle in the ongoing Corona pandemic.

Confirmation of Minutes of last GBM: The President told the house that the minutes of last
General Body Meeting and two emergency GBMs were already sent to all the members by
email. The house confirmed the minutes. Dr Sheetal Dalal proposed to pass them and Dr Anjali
Bhure seconded it.
Business arising out of minutes of last GBM: There was no business arising out of the minutes
of last GBMs.

Audited Report of the last financial year (2019-20): The audited report of accounts of ISA NCB,
for the financial year 2019-2020, was presented by Dr Deepak Madankar, Honorary Secretary
2020-21 and Treasurer 2019-2020. He informed that, this year the accounts of ISA NCB are
audited by Mr Upadhyay Chartered accountant’s company. Dr Deepak Madankar also informed
that there’s a sub account opened this year for purpose of ISCCON, Maharashtra State annual
conference, to be held in Nagpur. This account is attached to the main account of ISA NCB. The
conference was scheduled in September 2020, which is now postponed to September 2021 due
to COVID pandemic. The amount of registrations received for conference purpose is partly
made fixed deposit in the bank. The details of audited accounts and copies of account where
provided to all the members on email and also hard copies were distributed during the GBM.
The next agenda was Amendments in the constitution: Changes in the tenure of ISA NCB
executive team as per instructions from National ISA was proposed by Dr Saurabh Barde. Dr
Saurabh Barde informed that from next year onwards, the tenure of executive team would be
starting from 16th of October and would end on 15th of October. Accordingly the GBM for
election of the new team of ISA NCB would be held in the month of July instead of December,
as per instructions from national ISA. Dr Saurabh Barde asked the house, whether we should
combine the two GBMS, as our regular GBM for presentation of audited accounts which are
usually held around the same time in the month of June. Dr shubhada Deshmukh asked
whether it is written in the constitution that we should have two GBMs? Dr Chandrasekharan
Cham told that actually it is an annual GBM, so if all the agendas can be put up in a single GBM
then it’s very well possible to do only one GBM in the month of July. The house unanimously
agreed for a single Annual General Body Meeting with inclusion of Audited Financial Report and
Elections of new executive team as agendas.
Dr shubhada Deshmukh asked why this change has been suggested by ISA National to which Dr
Anjali Bhure replied that there was discussion at the ISA national GBMs and during the
meetings. She told that recently Maharashtra state chapter office held their elections during
this time and there was no uniformity in the city branches across India as far as installation time
period is concerned. So to bring the uniformity amongst all the branches month of October has
been proposed and the date of starting the new tenure of the city branches has been suggested
and accepted as 16th October at the national level. Dr Gauri Arora commented that our
previous tenure that is from April to March was much better as it was parallel to the financial
year hence the calculation of finances in a particular year for a particular team’s tenure is quite
easy. But now as the tenure is changed from October to October it would be difficult to know
the expenses of a particular team against the available money in our account.

Finally, it was concluded that we will have to follow the instructions passed on by ISA National
and would comply with the newly proposed tenure that is from October to October. The
required amendments with respect to the change of tenure (wherever indicated in the various
articles of the Constitution) will be done by the Constitution Committee of ISA Nagpur City
Branch. Dr Saurabh Barde also informed that because of change in the installation month there

will not be any program in the month of March; hence we can start one more academic or
competitive program if we get donors for the sponsorship.
Dr Saurabh Barde pointed out to one of the important clauses in the constitution of NCB, which
he has recently gone through, which mentions that if some executive committee member
remains consecutively absent for three or more meetings without having a valid reason and did
not apologize for the same, should be removed from the executive body. Dr Saurabh Barde
asked as to who will take this decision of removal of a particular person and weather this
should be implemented? Dr Shubhada Deshmukh opined that if a particular member is habitual
defaulter and there is a provision in constitution then he/she should be automatically
disqualified from taking for other posts in the executive body. Dr Bhure said that the names of
such members should be put forward in GBM for disqualification. Dr Cham suggested that the
name of such member should be forwarded to the next team and a defaulter becomes
automatically ineligible to take further posts in executive body. It was also suggested to get an
undertaking from the person that he will participate regularly in ISA NCB activities and if that
member does not follow the basic rules, automatically becomes defaulter and becomes
ineligible to take further post in the executive body. The house unanimously agreed to all these
suggestions given by respected members.
Dr Saurabh Barde asked opinion of the house regarding one of the rules, which is followed at
National and State level. Any member who wants to contest an election and wants to become
an office bearer needs to attend GBM. So weather we can have similar rule for our city branch.
The opinion of all the members regarding this was affirmative. It was suggested that a city
branch office bearer (excluding executive) should attend at least three out of five GBMs to
further continue with higher post at the city branch level. It was also decided to upload the
minutes of GBM and the attendance record of members who have attended GBM on ISA NCB
official website. The website will soon be updated and every member will get login details and
will be able to access the website after getting OTP on registered mobile number.
The next agenda was formation of various committees: After discussion among the members
the various committees were formed with following members included.
Constitution committee: Dr Chandrashekharan Cham, Dr Charuta Gadkari, Dr Anjali Bhure
Advisory committee: Dr Ashutosh Chaoji, Dr Bhau Rajurkar, Dr Pratibha Deshmukh
Awards committee: President-elect, Dr Kiran Vyawahare and other members selected by
President elect
Election committee: Immediate past president and any other past president. (Both should not
be a part of forthcoming elected team)

It was a matter of discussion and debate amongst members as weather the formation of
various committees and the amendments proposed in the constitution should be passed
immediately. Dr Cham stated that the amendments and various other things can be passed in
this GBM with consensus, but will be applicable from next tenure. Shubhada Deshmukh
proposed that this time new amendment should only be proposed and this will be passed only
after discussion in next GBM. She also suggested find the above provisions in the present
constitution and go ahead, to which all the members unanimously agreed.
It was also proposed to form various committees as required from the ISA National like cultural
committee, Legal cell, Fit anaesthesiologist club, Sports club, ISA FBF, HOD club, IRC, Private
Practitioner Forum, Leadership summit etc. It was suggested to appoint one person by the
President ISA NCB as coordinator of the above committees and send the names to National ISA.
The next agenda was Conference Updates: Updates were given by Dr Sheetal Dalal, Organizing
Secretary Maharashtra state conference proposed to be held at Nagpur. Dr Sheetal Dalal
informed that because of the present pandemic situation, we have requested the MSCISA to
postpone the proposed conference in September 2020 and reschedule it next year in 2021. The
rescheduled dates have been informed to Maharashtra state chapter of ISA as 24th, 25th and
26th of September 2021. The letter regarding the same has been sent already to MSCISA.
Dr Anjali Bure, Organizing Chairperson, asked the opinion of house, In case the Covid pandemic
situation continues till September and what should be done? Weather we should conduct the
conference virtually on online platforms if the need arises. Dr Charuta Gadkari suggested that
most probably such need will not arise but if that situation comes, this year we will not be able
to postpone the conference further and we will have to conduct it virtually. It was discussed
that the part of the money, which has been taken as registration fees, would be required to be
returned to the registered candidates. It was decided unanimously to take decision regarding
this in forthcoming conference meetings. The preparation for the conference would start once
the Maharashtra state chapter of ISA gives nod for the proposed dates which have been
proposed and informed.
The next agenda was Confirmation of Auditor for the year 2020-21: Dr Saurabh Barde
informed the house that Mr Abhay Upadhyay of Upadhyay chartered accountants company is
presently looking after the accounts of ISA NCB. We will continue to do so till the conference is
over and for next 6 months of that financial year. The name of Mr Upadhyay as chartered
accountant for the financial year 2021 and 2122 was proposed by Dr Gauri Arora and seconded
by Dr Anjali Bhure.

The last agenda for the meeting was Any other matter with the permission of chair: Dr
Saurabh Barde informed about the celebration of annual day in the month of January.It was
discussed that because of ongoing pandemic situation, if the second wave of pandemic comes
and continues, we will not be able to celebrate annual day by physical gathering. He asked
whether we should do that program virtually and if it is done virtually how to give various
awards which are usually given on annual day. Dr Saurabh Barde asked, if we are not able to

conduct annual day then what happen will happen to the lifetime achievement award which is
given on this day? Most of the members suggested that on the annual day, we should
announce the award and the actual award would be conferred to the recipient in the next
program whenever feasible.
Regarding paper presentation competition in which the postgraduate students usually present
their thesis work, it was suggested that we can do this competition on virtual platform also if
the need arises. Dr Sheetal Dalal and Dr Umesh Ramtani informed that the thesis of students
from IGGMC is not ready and it will be difficult for them to present before the month of
January. With consensus it was decided that if the situation remains under control and suitable
for all, paper presentation competition will be e done in the month of December. It was also
proposed to arrange Poster Presentation competition in the month of December.
The addition of eighth executive committee member, as proposed in last GBM was passed and
it was also suggested that we should restrict the number of executive committee members and
hence a maximum of eight executive members should be included in the ISA NCB body.
Dr C S Cham, Dr Sheetal Dalal, and doctor Anjali Bhure applauded the Team ISA NCB 2020-21
for Organising wonderful academic and non-academic programs of ISA NCB on virtual platform
in spite of ongoing pandemic situation.
As there was no other matter for discussion the GBM concluded with formal vote of thanks
proposed by Honorary Secretary ISA NCB, Dr Deepak Madankar followed by National Anthem.

It was suggested by Dr. Shital Dalal that these charges should be only for those nursing homes who want to do NABH inspection and activity at public places, swimming pools , Govt. sector and  Educational institutions etc. should be free of cost as part of public awareness and social responsibility.
   • Lawange Informed the House that our website wp.isanagpur.org has not been updated since 5 years and website manager Mr. Nishant Barde has sent a quotation of estimate for resetting the website and designing it in new form making it more attractive, advanced with new technical functions and more user friendly. The house was asked whether to go for updating our website. Dr. Pratibha Deshmukh passed it and Dr. Gauri Arora seconded it.
   • Lawange informed all that Dr. Ramtani has received a suggestion letter on mail sent by Dr. Hemant Sane mentioning methods about how to reduce tax liability. The letter had mentioned that ISA-NCB should be registered with charity commissioner, a trust should be formed, a MOU be made and legally all the funds be transferred to that trust and all rules and regulations be followed. This similar question was raised in the previous GBM of May 2017 as to why TDS refund is not being claimed on our part. Dr. Ramtani Informed the house that the tax liability is much more than the TDS refund. Dr. Gauri explained that since ISA–NCB is not registered under charitable organization there is no tax rebate in the interest of the FDs. Dr. Ramtani informed that on this issue Dr. Gauri Arora and Dr. Ramtani had a meeting with CA who suggested that it will not be advisable to go for trust and register with charity commissioner. It requires cumbersome and tedious legal procedure and stringent terms and conditions are to be followed. It is not feasible for our organization as our society conducts activities for its own members and not all activities are for social cause benefitting general public. The house agreed to the suggestions of CA and advised that we should follow it. Dr. Ranjana Deshmukh suggested that we should enquire whether ISA National has formed Trust and registered with charity commissioner
3. Treasurer’s Report for the year 2017-18:

Dr. Ramtani informed that amount of Rs. 20000 cash was also handed over to new team which was balance amount of practical oriented teaching course conducted by ISA-NCB in March 2018. Dr. Shital Dalal (Immediate Past President) suggested that old laptop of ISA-NCB is non-functional so it should be sold and new Laptop should be purchased using this amount of Rs. 20000. The House applauded previous team for generating handsome booty in ISA-NCB account.
4. Formation of sub-committees like Award selection board, Family Benevolent Fund scheme (ISA NATNL) registration and activation of ISA-NCB members.
   Lawange informed the house that in previous executive meeting held on 11^th May 2018, it was decided that various sub committees be made as for better and convenient functioning. The various committees and members of respective committees are as follows:
   • Award selection board: C.S. Cham, Dr. Shital Dalal, Dr. Manisha Shembekar

Dr. Gauri Informed that it was the turn of the north – east to host it in 2019, but due to some reason they opted out of it and the chance has been given to south & therefore our turn got preponed by one year. So we can bid for 2020 national conference for which we will have to apply this year. Dr. C. S. Cham suggested that as soon as state chapter and national headquarters communicate about the bidding process, necessary documentary formalities should be done from our side.
6. Any other matter with permission of chair:

Dr. Gauri Informed that it was the turn of the north – east to host it in 2019, but due to some reason they opted out of it and the chance has been given to south & therefore our turn got preponed by one year.

   5. Dr. Cham sir raised objections regarding the criteria of getting national & state awards. He said that ISA NCB was adjudged the ‘Best city branch’ in Maharashtra conference at Nanded in the month of September, based on the reports sent by the secretary. During the National conference at Kolkata, just after one month of state conference, Nagpur ISA didn’t get the ‘Best city branch’ award. Instead Nashik, which is a city branch of Maharashtra, got the said award at national level, and that too when it didn’t get any award in Maharashtra state level. Dr. Cham told that a letter should be sent to put across our disappointment and displeasure, at all levels. Dr. Gauri informed that Dr. Katikar, Maharashtra state secretary has suggested that letter should be sent officially if there are any queries.

Agenda of the days’ GBM was read out by Hon. Secretary Dr. Gauri Arora.

The agenda for General Body Meeting is as follows:

1. Confirmation of Minutes of last GBM held on 13^th December 2016
2. Business arising out of minutes of last GBM
3. Treasurer’s audited report
4. Relook of Awards of ISA NCB
5. Budget for furnishing of new office premises
6. Any other matter with the Permission of Chair

1. Confirmation of minutes of discussion of last GBM held on 13/12/2016.
   Gauri Arora informed that the agenda of the GBM had already been circulated to all the members through email and some of the senior members by post as well. No queries were raised. Dr. Anjali Bhure proposed the minutes to be passed, Dr. Rajurakar seconded it and the house passed it unanimously.
2. Business arising from minutes of last meeting.
   Dr. Anjali Bhure, National Governing Counsel, had asked about the work done by ISA, NCB regarding Family Benevolent Fund (FBF) and members made in the last three years. Dr. Hemant Rahatekar informed the house that the scheme was started during Rajurkar Sir’s tenure.
   
   Dr. Sheetal informed that the scheme was started in 2009 and requested everyone to become members. She requested Dr. Anjali Bhure to give a presentation of the FBF scheme so that members can subscribe to it. Till date only 4-5 members from ISA-NCB have become members of which Dr. Saurabh Barde is the first member.
   
   Dr. Rajurkar & Dr. Anjali Bhure said that it is a failed attempt on the part of the City Branch. Dr. Gauri said that e-mails have been sent requesting everyone to become members. President assured that a presentation of FBF will be given in each program and CME organised by ISA NCB. Dr. Anjali Bhure added that efforts are lagging on our side. Next time we need to make more efforts.
   
   Dr Shubhada Deshmukh said that if figures are presented then it becomes clearer. Dr. Barde added that there is a onetime investment of ₹ 10,000 followed by ₹ 200 plus ₹ 500 /deceased person per member.
   
   Annually every time it will differ & details will be given later after the GBM, this was added by Dr. Bhure.
   
   Dr. Cham queried about amount to be paid / year. It should not inflate suddenly, quoting example of IMA, wherein in the SSS (Social Security Scheme), this year the premium amounted to as much as ₹ 8500.
   
   Dr. Anil Jain reasoned that it was due the large number of mortalities this year which no one can control basically and the amount to be distributed to the deceased family members was large.
   
   Dr Shubhada Deshmukh added that the benefit of FBF is that as per other routine premiums, this premium is very less and what the family gets on death of the member is a handsome amount and that too without much hassles. Dr. Bhure said that the family receives it within a months’ time if one fulfils the formalities – death certificate (medical), nominees bank account number (details about the nominee). This year it was around 4-5 lakhs but if the number of members increase, then the amount given to the family of the deceased will be more.
   
   Dr. Cham queried about the office bearers of the scheme. Br Bhure said that they change and are nominated or selected from ISA and not any private body with less chances of being duped. The President of ISA governs the body and is taking it very seriously. The number of members is now about 2000 (< 2000) but they want it to grow to around 10,000, so that in case of any mishap, ₹ 30,00,000 can be given to the family within a month. She added that it is surprising that Yavatmal & Akola city branches, though they have lesser members enrolled in their branches, yet > 50% are them are FBF members. Dr. Anjali Bhure gave statistics regarding the FBF from 1/12/2016 – 31/3/2017. Total members enrolled are 1849. New members joining till 31/3/2017 were 28. Deaths occurring in the previous year were 5. Amount paid to the nominees were ₹. 4,06,800. 135 members are defaulters. Total FD available is ₹71 lakhs. Current account till 9/2/2017 was ₹. 7,09,034.37.
   
   Dr. Cham added that unless the Society promotes, people will not get enrolled. Officially, from our society, a sub–committee should be created to look after this. Dr. Rajurkar seconded the opinion.
3. Treasurer’s audited report.
   Dr. Gauri Arora presented the audited report.  Copy of audited report was circulated in the house and queries invited.
   
   Hon. Secretary informed the house that full amount for the new premises has been paid to IMA, and by mistake one FD of ₹ 300,000 which is the award money of ‘E.G.Tambe Oration’ and another of ₹ 100,000 were encashed which shall be replenished as soon as possible.
   
   President added that one FD of ₹ 2,50,000 is due to mature on 20/8/2017 and by adding ₹ 50,000, the ‘EG Tambe Oration’ FD, can be replenished and is seeking permission from the house for the same.
   
   Dr. Sheetal floated a proposal in front of the house that a the award money of Dr. Sushila sathe ma’am, late smt. Vaishali Malegaonkar award and Dr. Malti phadke award , each of Rs 100,000/- be made a collective FD.
   
   Dr. Shubhda ma’am said that we should be following the guidelines as per the constitution regarding the awards and as per amendments to the constitution in 2016, each FD should be as per name of the award.
   
   Dr. Rajurkar & Dr. Cham said that for ‘EG Tambe oration award’, FD should be made by the name, but the same need not be applied for other awards.
   
   Dr. Dixit asked about TDS reclaim & told that the query was raised previously and it was told that the Pan card and all other formalities have not been completed. This financial year amount deducted is around ₹. 1,30,000. Something must be done to get this amount refunded.. Dr. Kiran Vyawhahare said that the CA during the last tenure said he will try to reclaim ₹80,000 TDS that was deducted but it did not materialize. Dr. Shubhada Deshmukh queried that in order to reclaim the TDS which has been deducted is it necessary for the society to fulfil anything else? E.g. register with charity commissioner office. Dr. Rajurkar & Dr. Jain said that the society is already registered with the charity.
   
   Dr. Shubhada Deshmukh asked those who give us donation, are they eligible for tax deduction?  Dr. Rajurkar, Dr. Cham replied in negative. Dr. Rajurkar said that it is difficult as very stringent conditions have been laid down to get exemption under section 80 C, for which the society has to apply.
   
   Dr. Gauri said she would talk to the CA and clear up things as the previous CA Mr. Tole had left the firm and another CA Mr. Upadhyay is looking after this now. The Hon. Treasurer will do the follow up. Dr. Gauri thanked Dr. Rahatekar for giving her the opportunity to work with him as Treasurer & also Dr. Kiran for helping her with all minor details.
4. Relook of awards of ISA NCB
   Dr. Shubhada Deshmukh said that it was discussed in 2010 and it is said in the constitution that the Vice President will look after the awards issue and this has to be reviewed every three years i.e. if to be continued in the same format or changed as per requirement of the society. Unfortunately, it has not been reviewed. Present VP & President elect can review the whole thing and if it is done every 3 years then such issues would not arise. ‘E.G. Tambe memorial oration award’, ‘Shabde-Tambe travelling fellowship’ and fund for the gold medal were significantly of larger amount and were kept separately and all other awards with maximum of ₹ 20,000 were grouped together into one FD. Whatever was grouped together, taking into consideration of the interest, a fixed price money amount was designated for each award. If it is decided to put all the award money together, then it has to be put down in black and white, how much money should be fixed for which award. The award money was decided on the interest which was obtained from the individual amount given for the award. 2/3 to ½ was kept for the award and rest was added to the corpus to keep a stable award money each year as interest rates are going down. Otherwise the society has to add to the corpus or do as required.
   
   Dr. Cham said that a Committee be made and the matter be reviewed and presented in the next GBM. Dr. Lawange said that it had been reviewed last year and should be done after 3 years. Dr. Shubhada added the sum which was decided as the cash award out of the combined FD, needs to be reviewed as the amount given will be very small. Moreover, the awards with corpus of ₹1,00,000 each should be made separately. They remain separate and funds are used for what it is meant to be. Hon. Treasurer will have to manage many FDs.
   
   Dr. Cham added that the interest from ₹1,00,000 is small and it is not possible to do any complete program with it. In good faith, the ‘name’ is given to the award, society however, has to financially add up to the interest to carry on the program. It may not be necessary to have separate FDs of ₹1,00,000 and it is better to have a FD in the name of the Society and as mentioned in the constitution, and the program will be done, except for the ‘EG Tambe Oration’ FD of ₹3,00,000. EG Tambe as per constitution will be separate.
   
   Dr. Shubhada Deshmukh asked to make an FD of ₹3,70,000, which was the amount when it was encased, with the amount of ₹2,50,000, to mature in the month of August by adding to it.
   
   The awards by ISA, NCB has been enlisted. The EG Tambe Oration Award issue had already been discussed. Shabde-Tambe award- present corpus value is ₹69,461. Shabde -Tambe, RK Pradhan, NT Balankhe and other common awards like Rev. Dr. B.N. Sahay award and Dr.Shrirao award, Dr. S.K. Deshpande,Life-time achievement award, Lalla-Cham award, Prestige Nursing Home put in together, we are getting an interest of only ₹9,000 which is just adequate right now. Dr. Dalal asked if it is possible to increase the corpus.
   
   Dr. Sheetal informed the house that Dr. Krishna Kale, a senior member of ISA NCB wishes to begin an award with the ISA, NCB for the PG students of the medical colleges in Nagpur. She has donated ₹1,00,000 to the Society for this and the award would be on her name. In the executive meeting it was decided that it would be a poster competition on the best paper presentation day. She said she was proud that she could do something for the society where she joined as foundation member. With this award all the juniors will be motivated and participate wholeheartedly and accepts the prize money decided by the Society. The house applauded at her generous gesture.
   
   Dr. Bhure enquired if the award will be for the members also? Dr. Cham said that ‘The best paper competition’ is already there for the students and poster presentation would be an opportunity for the members. Dr. Anjali Bhure said that she felt all younger ISA members would also get the opportunity to come forth. Dr. Cham said that on that day students come and members of the ISA will also come increasing the attendance and participation strength. Dr Rajurkar said that it would be a good academic event. Madam consented that it would as per the decision taken by everyone and the house passed that the award would be a poster competition for the members of ISA. For the poster the topic will be declared every year. Dr. Dalal informed that Dr. Anjali Bhure in interested to start an award for Public Awareness.
5. Budget for furnishing of new office premises
   Budget for furnishing of the new office: Dr. Dalal said that the new office has been handed over to us, and the legal formalities will be carried out in few months time. Dr. Rahatekar informed that for the furnishment of the new office, he had 3 quotations. The first one by Rathi, appointed by IMA quoted ₹1,96,000. Second one, an architect quoted ₹2,15,000. The third one quoted ₹1,50,000. Another ₹50,000 would be required for various other accessories. Hence, it is calculated that ₹2,00,000 would be required for the furnishing of the new office. ₹1,00,000 had already been sanctioned for the renovation of the old office on December 2017 and the money was not utilised. A total of ₹2,00,000 was sanctioned by the house. Dr. Jain also donated ₹11,000 for ISA new office, to which the house acknowledged his kind gesture.
6. Any other matter with permission of Chair
   Anjali Bhure made the house aware of the discussion with Dr. Mishra regarding tenure of Hon.Secretary and Hon. treasurer. Dr. Cham said that during the State Governing Council meeting, it has not been written anywhere that state governing body should function as per rules of the National governing council. SGC can frame their own norms even the city branches can frame their norms. Dr. Hitendra Mahajan , President ISA Mah. State assured that this will not happen said Dr. Bhure.
   
   Dr. Cham said that all city branches have Hon. Secretary & Treasurer tenure of 1 year and State branches have a tenure of 2 years. Dr. Rahatekar added that it is 3 years in the National Body, 2 years in the state level and 1 in city branch level.
   
   Dr. Rajurkar added that our way is followed in most of the branches.
   We are doing as per our convenience and there should not be anything wrong with that but we have to ensure that the National GCs feel the same cause even if Maharashtra State Council remain with us, but if the National Body feel otherwise then they could exclude us from the best branch competition. We can enquire with some other branch not in the state of Maharashtra. In South some branches do follow our way.
   
   Is it mandatory to send our Constitution to the National Body, asked Dr. Jain.
   
   Dr. Dalal added that for the award it is mandatory to send the Constitution every year, and our branch has been doing it since 2010. Even in the form for the award, it is asked if the branch has a Constitution of its own.
   
   Dr. Bhure added that during Mid-term Meeting it was discussed that NCB has the best Constitution. They have not taken notice of the copy of our Constitution which was sent earlier and we have been sending it through years together both hard and soft copy.
   
   Dr. Bhure said that in 3^rd week of August, she has a meeting in Kolkata where she would raise the issue. Dr. Cham said that it is already known to the President and we have to clear the matter.
   
   Dr. Tirpude added that a letter should be written to the National Body about our Constitution asking their opinion regarding our constitution.
   
   Everyone one agreed that an official Executive meeting to be held under the guidance of Dr. Sane and all pros and cons will be noted down before sending the National body any letter .
   
   Hon. Secretary said that for thoracic anaesthesia, companies want the ISA body give them in writing the amount they want as sponsorship. A ‘whats up’ message doing rounds says that any sponsorship cannot be taken henceforth for any CME by doctors.
   
   Dr. Bhure said that then the only way is to increase the registration fee.
   
   Dr. Rajurkar & Dr. Cham said that there is no harm in quoting the amount since it is taken for an academic activity, and not for any personal use.
   
   Dr. Kale said that MCI funding could be obtained & even MUHS funding.
   
   Dr. Sheetal said that they are only for medical Colleges.
   
   Gauri Informed that a childhood friend of Dr. Sheetal has donated ₹1,10,000 for the Installation ceremony, ₹25,000 was donated by Dr. Sheetal’s husband Mr. Avinash Dalal and ₹25,000 by her mother, for public awareness activity. The house applauded wholeheartedly for the generous gesture.

   About bidding for national conference & state conference, Dr. Rajurkar said that we should go ahead and continue doing it. Dr. Dalal informed that the last day for filling of bidding is 20^th June for the national conference.
   
   Dr. Cham said that since every year state conference is going to be held, we become eligible to host one now. At the National level, if Nashik and Pune city branches bid for Conference, then they get it earlier since they have not hosted one as yet.
   
   Sheetal informed about the forthcoming event i.e. CME on Thoracic anesthesia. Hon. Secretary requested everyone to get registered for ‘Thoracic Anaesthesia’ CME

2) Business arising out of minutes of last GBM

Dr Anjankar said as per requirement for the participation in the competition by post- graduate students, membership of ISA NCB would be mandatory. He further suggested that Heads of the Departments might be requested to ask for compulsory memberships by Post Graduate students. Dr Ranjana Deshmukh & Dr Shubhada Deshmukh said it would be difficult to make compulsion in the department; but encouragement would be possible. Dr Tamhane said that the suggestion was good and meeting of all HODs could be convened. Dr Shubhada Deshmukh told the house that in last national conference, the criteria of compulsory membership for various Presentations by post graduate students was waved off. Dr Ghosh said if that could be confirmed from national body, ISA NCB should not insist on mandatory membership for post-graduate students to remain in sync with the parent body. Dr Deshmukh wanted to know if such was mentioned on the National website. Dr Barde replied that he was not exactly aware regarding it. There was no further discussion on this agenda.

3) Constitutional Amendments regarding tenures of Honorary Secretary and Honorary Treasurer

The house unanimously confirmed that Vice President should look into it.

5) Audited Financial Report by Honorary Treasurer

As soon as the audited report would be ready, copy would be sent to all members by surface mail and also by email.

Dr Tamhane agreed to the suggestion and said that once the audited financial report was ready, the notice for the extraordinary GBM would be sent to all the members.

6) Sponsored Programs by Senior ISA – NCB members

Dr Deshpande clarified that if there was any confusion regarding selection of the candidate then decision of the executive committee should be final.

7) Any other matter with the Permission of the Chair

Dr Anjankar sought permission of chair to raise point regarding APAN – Association of Practising Anaesthesiologists in Nagpur. Dr Anjankar said he had sent an email to President and Secretary of ISA NCB to know if one day program per year could be arranged to discuss various problems faced by freelance practicing anaesthesiologists. Dr Shubhada Deshmukh said ISA NCB always discussed problem solving academically and never discriminated between freelance and institute practicing anaesthesiologists. Dr Anjankar said that freelance anaesthesiologist faced multiple problems including working conditions in OT, professional charges etc. Dr Anil Jain said discussion about working conditions in OT could be considered and not about professional charges. Dr Shubhada Deshmukh said how same things could be discussed every year in one day program. Dr Kamlakar Pawar said different city branches for example Nashik had professional charges printed for different surgeries on society’s letterhead and endorsed/signed by President and Secretary of the branch. If similar could be done in Nagpur also. Dr Ghosh said he did not think such things could be endorsed on society’s letterhead. He further said as he never worked as freelance practitioner, he was not aware of difficulties faced by them. He did not have any objection regarding discussing under ISA banner; but various details like finances, exact program & it’s duration should be formatted by APAN body and proposal be discussed with ISA NCB President and team of executives for the feasibility. This suggestion was accepted by house.

Dr Tamhane informed the house that CME on Geriatric Anaesthesia was planned on Sunday, 22^nd June 2014 at Hotel Centre Point, Ramdaspeth, Nagpur. MMC had already granted TWO credit points for the CME. The regular registration charges proposed were Rs 1000/- and Rs 1500/- for spot registration.

Dr Shubhada Deshmukh with permission of chair wanted to appeal all members to register for online voting. She explained the procedure and also said society was ready to assist during various monthly programs.

Dr Saurabh Barde proposed vote of thanks.

Dear Friends,

Greetings!

ISA Nagpur city Branch has come a long way since its inception in 1973. As you all know, our branch has been adjudged the best city branch both at the national and state level. Now we have opportunity to project our city branch in future MISACONs (Maharashtra state chapter of ISA’s Conferences ) by starting an oration sponsored by Nagpur city branch. Late Dr. R.K. Pradhan (former Professor & Head of department of Anaesthesiology at GMC, Nagpur) was the founder president of ISA, Nagpur City Branch and also the only National President from this region. So we would like to institute the oration in his name as the “Late Dr. R. K. Pradhan Memorial Oration sponsored by Nagpur City Branch of ISA”.

To generate the funds necessary to start the oration, we request all the members to make a contribution of Rs.500/- and above for the cause. Some of our members like Dr. Hemant Sane ,Dr. Anil Jain, Dr. S. K. Deshpande are ready to make a substantial contributions to the fund of Rs. 10,000/-each. This is very encouraging. Let us make a collective effort to put Nagpur City Branch at a prominent level in the Maharashtra state chapter of ISA.

We are sure that you will consider this ardent appeal with favour. We also appeal to present and past post holders and executives of NCB to be more generous in their contribution.

Thanks,
Dr.Shubhada Deshmukh Dr.Sheetal Dalal
President Secretary

Two orations are already booked at MISACON, so another oration i.e, Dr.R.K.Pradhan Memorial Oration cannot be accommodated there.

To,
Dr Vikram Alsi,
Hon. Sectretary, ISA NCB.
Date 30 March 2010

Sir,

Received your circular for the GBM on 10th April along the enclosures.

It is understood from the minutes as well as from the other enclosures that the amendment passed in 2008 GBM to the effect that the elected Vice President will be the President for the next year was valid and in force at the time of GBM on 4^th December 2009. Therefore the election for the post of President in December 2009 was not necessary and was in fact unconstitutional.

I therefore propose that this election may be declared as unnecessary, null and void; and it should be repladed with the resolution that the Vice President, also chosen as Present-elect Dr. Deepak Anjankar was declared as the President for the year 2010.

Dr Mrs Shubhada Deshmukh should also be declared as the President-elect for the year 2011.

Yours truly,
Dr H. Sane

Dr. Sane said that we have to go to Charity Commissioner for changes in constitution only if we change Aims & Objectives, but rules and regulation can be changed without informing the charity commissioner if they are not against the Aims & Objectives.

Dr. Anil Jain said that since we are a registered society we have to get it (all amendments) confirmed from the Registrar. To be safe we should send a letter to charity commissioner and see the reply.

Dr. Ghosh said that our experience with the charity commissioner office is very bad. Instead we should go and talk directly with Asst. Charity Commissioner.

Dr. SK Deshpande suggested that we should change the nomenclature from Vice President to President Elect.

Dr. Shubhada Deshmukh opposed the suggestion.

Dr. Ghosh said that the matter should be referred to Constitution Committee and GB will accept its recommendation.

The motion was tabled and will be taken up later.

It was decided to refer the matter to constitution committee and executive committee was asked to act according constitution Committees’ conclusion.

• Account report for the year 2008-2009 & 2009 – 2010.

Dr. Cham said that the report is not ready. The CA has not been able to complete it.

Dr. Ghosh asked if we have paid any INCOME Tax. The Treasurer said that we have not paid any tax. The President said TDS is being cut from our bank deposits and treasurer should try to get if back as our income does not fall into tax bracket.

Dr. Anjankar said that in our audited report we should not use Salary head as entry head because we have to maintain i) Salary register ii) we have to give salary as per rules and we are unable to give salary as per minimum wages act, iii) we do not have a full time employee, and iv) we have declared thar we do have any employee to charity commissioner.  Dr. SK Deshpande suggested that we call it as Honorarium. Dr Anil Londhe said that if the worker is part time we don’t have to maintain register.

Dr. Anjankar said that it will be better if we can change assets & liabilities heads. Better if they are as per functions.  Same way annual day expenditure and oration expenditure heads should be different.

Dr. Anjankar said that as per balance sheet submitted on annual day we are in deficit by Rs.73, 705.  Though the deficit is more because of addition of depreciation of Rs. 30000/- still we are in deficit by Rs.43, 000/-. We will have to find out reason for the same. Dr Cham said that he has just got all the papers from the CA. He will study them and try to find details and explanations.

• Budget for the year 2010-2011.

Dr. Cham said that he was confused about the Budget. Till now the president was deciding about the expenses and arranging for it.

Dr Anjankar said, we have Rs. 11, 00,000 /- other than deposits for awards. It means that we can get around Rs. 80,000/- per year as interest. We have unavoidable expenses like stationary, office maintenance, postage etc around Rs. 20,000/- . It means that we can spend around Rs. 40,000/- & add Rs.20, 000/- to corpus. Nowadays there are strict rules about sponsorship. Hence we will have to limit & plan our expenses.

Dr. SK Deshpande said that if the program is good we can spend from the ISA account. We already have upto Rs. Five thousand per activity sanctioned earlier.

Dr. Shubhda Deshmukh said that Budget is necessary but not feasible as of today. Dr. Jain said that the Society is too small to have Budget like this.

Dr. Ghosh said the budget should come through the Executive Committee. It was accepted by the house by majority. 

• Official mode of communication of ISA NCB.

Dr. Alsi said that he has already send details in with the circular. These are as follows:

In the 21^st century are we faced with a problem of global warming. The easiest way in which we can support the cause is by reducing our paper consumption. As a Registered Society we have to maintain hard copies of all records. But communications can be done via email. Most of us are using email for our regular communications. We have email ids of above 160 ISA NCB members. Our society has official email id. If we have all our communications thru email supported by SMS we will be saving lot of paper and hence our contribution to the green cover of the earth. I propose that email be made standard official mode of communication.

1. Correspondence with all those having email id will be thru email only. An SMS support informing the email will be sent wherever necessary.
2. Those who do not have email id and those who have email id but wish not to use it, will be informed by conventional mail. They have to inform the society accordingly.

This will also save us on courier costs. The problem of some people not getting circulars will also be reduced.

It was unanimously accepted by the house. Dr. Saurabh Barde said that the notices should be sent in PDF format to prevent tampering.

Dr SK Deshpande congratulated Dr. Anjankar and Dr. Alsi for this novel idea.

3. Dr. Anjankar said that in the GBM of 2008 it was decided that the Vice President elected should automatically become President. There would not be any election for the post of President. One member said that though there was such amendment it can not be implemented as our branch has been registered with registrar of societies and unless we get the amendment approved by his office it is not effective.

6. Dr.Sane said that there are many such points for which we have to study constitution, amendments should be suggested, passed though executive committee and GBM. Dr. Ghosh said proper procedure should be followed. It was decided to look into details of the needs for change in constitution. The new executive council was entrusted with this work.

Dr.Sane said that un-audited internally checked, interim report can be presented in Dec. GBM. Dr. Mrs. Mankeshwar agreed that un-audited report should be presented in Annual meeting in January. One member pointed out / said that year of office bearer and financial year does not coincide. It causes some problems for accounts maintenance . Dr. Ghosh said that Annual installation and oration was arranged in January because in old days we could get good speakers on the way to or back from National Conference. But it is not the situation now.
8. Dr. Bhure announced that Dr. Vilas Tambe has promised to donate Rs. 300,000/- towards annual oration .

Dr.Mankeshwar telephoned Dr. Tambe and gave him best wishes on her behalf as well as on behalf of ISA NCB. Dr.Ghosh said that we must appreciate the magnanimity of Dr. Tambe.

Dr.Mankeshwar informed that Dr. Tambe is not insisting on his father’s name, but we should respect his wish for his generosity. A point was raised that if someone donates more money should we change the name of oration. Dr.Ghosh said that if someone comes up with Rs. 500,000/- we can start another oration. (Without disturbing the previous orations). It was decided that issue of prizes and awards should be looked into from all angles; new executive body should do it.
10. Dr. Anjankar said that we should look into the possibility of having our own premises even if it is only a small flat. Various members raised issues about suitability of flat. Points were made about uses and liabilities of premises. It was decided that issue of premises should be looked into and then G.B. should take up the issue for discussion. New executive body was asked to do the needful.
11. Dr. Anjankar said that he is visiting the members of ISA NCB for updating the directory. He will try to visit all members. Some anaesthesiologist are not members of ISA NCB, there was unanimous opinion that efforts should be made to make all anaesthesiologist our members.
