Dear Colleague & friends of CSI,

Let me thank you all who made 2014, a beautiful year for Cardiological Society of India

(CSI) and pray that you be blessed with another beautiful and extraordinary year ahead

of you.

CHANGE is buzzword frequently used by many. It is good but how much is optimum is a

matter to be pondered. Should it be revolutionary with potential to cause upheaval or

evolutionary which is tolerable, sustainable and inclusive. The word contains six

elements: harisma, ierarchy, gility, egotiability, overnance and quity.C H A N G E

Cardiological Society of India in its present form is a much bigger canvas that what it was

sixty-seven years ago. It has increasing and enviable charisma with character and has

changed the batons every year with new President and a new look Executive Body which

is a microcosm of the CSI to guide the society to put forward the wheel of development

diligently. Every year, the agility of the collective leadership as well as the scienti�c

committee chairman has added new dimensions to the subject with fresh inputs &

thoughts and attempted to develop next best practices in the �eld . Though few

characters have been non-negotiable, but over all the negotiability and �exibility to

accommodate newer facets of Cardiology, accepting and befriending new overseas

Cardiology Societies have been mind-blowing.Amix of Presidential & Westminster style

of functioning has not only enriched the Society with new ideas, but also ensured the

continuity of democratic norms with vibrant style. So far the equity is concerned, CSI has

been a great platform of equalizer for Cardiologists and Cardiology-practicing

physicians with equal rights and propriety. Confucius once said: “ One needs to review

the past before one decides to take to the future”.

With this background, let me recapitulate some of the game changers I have witnessed

over the last thirty years. The conferences used to be held in different cities of India

under the auspices of CSI andATCVSI (I have not seen the separation ofAPI and CSI). Now

it is a wholesome CSI affair with all its �air and grandiosity under the stewardships of

President, President-Elect and Organising Secretary. Those old days, items though

contemporary were all clinical, because that was the only available staple food for the

Cardiologists. Over the years, there has been a change in the size, shape and spread of the

scienti�c platter. The �rst bouncer came in the form of pharmacological intervention in

the management of AMI in early eighties followed by basic EP and advanced EP

intervention. Many of the past Presidents were part of the changes. Then came the

Echocardiography which changed the discussion level amongst the peers in CSI meetings &

conferences. The big boy Cardiac Interventions starting with valvuloplasty, peripheral

and coronary interventions appeared with big bang in the late eighties and early nineties.

CSI responded with agility. The �rstever intervention meeting I attended was named as

PTCA (Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty) registry. It was a half day affair

preceding theAnnual Conference. Can you see the metamorphosis that has happened over

the last few years courtesy our great performers and thinkers of CSI?

Later on the was christened and a two & half dayNational Interventional Council (NIC)

midterm conference was mooted. This is going from high to higher positions in the

conference calendar. Not only that, it also has generated privately owned and held

intervention conferences all across the country, which is increasing in number day after

day. The experiment with NIC emboldened CSI to organize different sub-specialty

conferences like to share on prevention of CVD burden in India,CSI-Prevent CSI-Heart

Failure Council to share the burden and sequel of heart failure in India and role of

prevention and intervention in reducing the burden and DALYS. Are not the changes

re�ecting CSI thinking high, aiming high and attempting high to be a global powerhouse?

Earlier days, when we used to attend the international conferences, we were mostly

spectators and bystanders with appearances of very few Indian Cardiologists managed by

personal in�uences and contacts. That never got translated to national pride till few of

our eminent Past Presidents took the initiative to take CSI to global arena. Now in many of

the international conferences, CSI is an active partner in sharing Indian perspective of

CVD with the global community. Who is responsible for all these changes? The senior

members, executive committee members, Past Presidents and active CSI–centric men

have contributed magni�cently to these processes. Leading from the front, you have

guided the CSI and its folks to charter a path of substance with high morality. My salute

goes to you all.

CSI has a beautiful three storied Head Quarters of its own in the(Indian Heart House)

heart of the city of Kolkata with a modern look board room, state of the art auditorium,

free heart clinic with of�ce. Every CSI member should visit this place at least once. It will

be opened to the public and students for visit once the CSI Hall of Public Awareness &

Welfare with a gallery is built up.

CSI with all its wisdom started offering FELLOWSHIP OF CARDIOLOGICAL SOCIETYOF

INDIA to the deserving Cardiologists of repute all across the globe. The ceremony with all

its grandeur and character speaks about the BRAND CSI.

India never had the dearth of teachers right from the age of Susruta-Charaka- Maitreyee

to Vyasdeva. In Cardiology too, so many great teachers in India have propagated the

science & arts of clinical Cardiology right from the birth of CSI. The list of names will be

exhaustive, so I shall refrain from that. Taking the same cue, many of the present day

teachers of Cardiology in India, who are also superbhave heartily taken the initiative to

start ambitious projects named PG Track, Grand Rounds and mock tests for post graduate

students of DM& DNB, under the auspices of CSI. It has been very much appreciated and so

the change in this regard is going to stay for years to come.

CSI Textbook of Cardiology is the next big thing to happen in the history of CSI. We are not

in hurry, since we are collecting the various data from India so that all chapters may take

care of the Indian perspective separately.

Indian Heart Journal, the prestigious publication of CSI has changed over the years under

various dynamic editors and endeared the global cardiologist community so much so that

there is a waiting line for manuscripts coming from across the globe including our own

country. It is being published in collaboration with M/S Elsevier and indexed with frontline

e-medicine portals and eying a good impact factor.

So changes of hope are happening. Only thing is that it may not have been all that

�amboyant. Changes for the sake of change may usher into crisis which is obvious in many

parts of the present day world and so should not be taken lightly!

Now let me come to some challenges in front of CSI. Just after seven years (in 2022), CSI is

going to be a seventy-�ve year organisation. Similarly ten years ( by 2025) are left for

succeeding the WHO's campaign of 25/25 for CVD. So CSI has great responsibility to

2 3

formulate and actively participate in the 25/25 campaign. Here comes theVISION-75

importance of the CSI leadership which will guide CSI to usher in a new era. Five important

aspects are to be reckoned in its full form. 1) To have our own data of various CV diseases

in India-both rural & urban . This will be the thrust of the present CSI body. We have

already acquired adequate dedicated space for CSI in the cloud for collecting, storing,

preserving and using the data on line.2) To form guidelines/ expert consensus based on

Indian data for various diseases for not only treatment but also prevention and diagnosis

considering our own perspectives where 70% population leave in rural areas with

increasing CV burden, 70% population can not afford modern treatment and increasing

number of urban slums with increasing CV risk factors. 3) Innovativeness (Make in India) in

CVD diagnosis & management which will be affordable, durable and self-sustaining.There

is a proposal to start a new award for this. 4) To go to the pan-India public in much more

effective way which will be visible for all. 5) Promoting the high ethical standard practice

and condemning inappropriate practice. For this to happen we have to think of making

another sub-specialty in the name of Quality Control or Accreditation Committee for both

practitioners and institutions.

In the above context, CSI has the responsibility to take the initiative and walk to the

Government as CSI can offer only advocacy, Government being the implementing

agency. This can not be one man's job. It is a collective affair where all past presidents,

senior members and well wishers of CSI have to come out of their safe pulpits shading off

their ego and join together to �ght a great menace like CVD in India in the most effective

way.

Lastly surf the , take active part in the discussion forum(CSICSI website (www.csi.org.in)

Blog), refresh with latest news and happenings in the country as well as globe.

Long live Cardiological Society of India.

Dear colleagues

It is a great pleasure and honour indeed to wish you all a very happy, prosperous, blissful,

joyful and healthy 2015. I express my heartfelt thanks to the Organizing and Scienti�c

Committee of 66th Annual conference of CSI-2014 for their hard work and innovation

especially to Dr. B. Ramesh Babu, Organizing Secretary and his team and Dr. S.

Ramakrishnan Joint Secretary for their enormous unstinted contribution for the

wonderful memorable event. Dr. K. Venugopal in his Presidential Address on “Wings of

Hope” emphasized on the need of enhancing the potentials of Cardiological Society of

India globally. I would really like to compliment him. Dr. Santanu Guha and his team at

CSI HQ -needs a special applause for their admirable support and being, the Chairman

Scienti�c Committee and President Elect. of CSI has already initiated his unique work plan

for the forthcoming 67th Annual Conference of CSI-2015 to be held at Chennai. I am sure

that his skill, devotion and dedication will add lot of laurels to the scienti�c programme. I

wish the Organizing Secretary of 67th Annual Conference of CSI-2015

Dr. S. Shanmugasundaram will add lots of innovations and creativity to enhance the

standards of CSI at a global level.

We were very encouraged by the record number of delegates, from all across India. CSI-

2014 also boasted maximum number of eminent international and national faculty. We

trust that arrangements of the conference and the scienti�c program were up to your

expectation.

CSI 2014 will become a benchmark for medical conferences in India in terms of innovations

like State of Art CSI Cardiology Update 2014, App based poll, Q & A Session, E posters,

stimulating scienti�c sessions, truly interactive website, live webcast, CSI 2014 TV,

advance uploading of scienti�c presentations, theme song, Mission Statements, Logo,

Faculty, Brochures, Stage and Hall design, Event Management, Press, IT support, Ground

Transportation & Gala Dinner including invigorating cultural and social programme. The

Global Giant Leadership of Cardiology interactive session, global jeopardy Cardiology

Quiz, Cardiology Court, Joint Scienti�c Sessions, PG track sessions and e-posters sessions

were highly appreciated. We hope you enjoyed it. Sincere efforts were made to formulate

structured programme of Clinical, Preventive, Interventional Cardiology,

Echocardiography Pediatric Cardiology, Electrophysiology and Cardiac Imaging.

The success of any programme of any organization depends on participation and

contribution of its members. I appeal to all the members of CSI to help, support to raise

the bar of CSI to highest possible global standards in the year 2015.

I have a strong intent, vision and mandate to create consensus statement on STEMI,

Hypertension and Metabolic Syndrome care and interventional cardiology innovations. I

have also plan to enhance the awareness on hypertension, obesity and STEMI care in India

to create global impact. It is all possible with the help of each and everyone of you.

Global alliance of CSI is the need of the hour.

Another momentous year has gone by. The 66th Conference of CSI was a resounding

success from an academic as well as organizational viewpoint. Dr. H. K. Chopra and

Dr. Ramesh Babu deserves our appreciation for their yeoman efforts. The �rst Preventive

Council meeting of the CSI was organized under the banner of CSI UP Chapter at Agra in

September. The academic programme by the council chairperson Dr. Geevar Zacharia was

excellent as were the organizational arrangements by Dr. Praveen Jain. The importance of

preventive cardiology in our country is still not recoganised fully. As the country with the

distinction of having the largest number of hypertensives and diabetics and CAD patients

we need to embark on a war footing for the control of atherosclerotic vascular diseases.

We need to interact with the administrators for realizing the goals of primary and

secondary prevention in the country. Let us unite with other organisations in the country

which are involved in public health activities to control this epidemic.

Dear Friends,

First of all Greetings from the Editorial Of�ce of Indian Heart Journal.

Secondly, What is New at Indian Heart Journal? Before that, What is the need of change?

And I quote Charles Darwin “It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most

intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” Thus unless one is able to adapt to

changes in modern life one is relegated to be history. Our endeavor at Indian Heart Journal

(IHJ) would be to use today's tools to modernize IHJ so that it reaches its pinnacle taking

up its position among the cardiology journals and becoming a source of pride to all of us.

So how do we go about it? Practically speaking the usefulness of any journal is gauged by

its Impact Factor. Currently the impact factor of IHJ is only virtual and at the moment it

doesn't �gure in the list of top 47 Science Journals from India. Our aim would be to try

achieving an Impact Factor of > 1 and being in top 5 journals in India. But at the same time

we would like to preserve and strengthen what is already good in our journal.

Another area that we would like to work on is the aesthetic quality of our journal, the

Mise-en-scène. We not only wish to make is more informative, authoritative, evidence

based dialogue but will also focus on the non-discursive elements, re�ective of needs of

our practice and becoming the opinion piece of physicians of our part of the world

(rather than promoting esoteric agenda of some other world). At the same time we will

make our processes more professional and transparent focusing on improved turn-over,

early review process and quick �nal resolution.

For us our contributors are our Gods. We will go all out to publicize the original articles

of our contributors, properly communicate the �ndings to vast majority of physicians in

India and abroad and incentivize them in other ways as well. We will use all the modern

tools of communication be it facebook, webcasts, press, apps etc. Currently there are

around 7000 physicians who are associated with cardiology, we promise to reach out to

each and every one of them so that a to-and-fro dialogue is created betweenand more

the contributors, editors and lay cardiologists. Of-course all this will entail a huge

expenditure but we do all to keep our journal �nancially viable, nay in a robust �nancial

health.

However, the bottom line is the . Philosophically, the usefulnessusefulness of any journal

of any journal is dependent upon its ability to correctly read the “Signs and Symbols of

Time,”and act upon them. In this context we will boldly raise up-front all the issues faced

by the Cardiology Community at large, debate them in print, try to achieve a re�ective

equilibrium, to work out some solutions to these contentious problems. In this way we will

be able to advocate our view-points, however, for us physicians the bottom-line is the

bene�t of our patients and we will make IHJ a platform for the voice for our patients.

Finally, all this cannot be achieved only by the Editorial Board. Thus it is my earnest

request to one and all, an to help us in achieving this goal. Andappeal to their patriotism

what can you do? Submit your best research to IHJ. Review the articles in time but most

importantly transmit this message by the word of mouth to one and all. Your original

manuscripts can be submitted vide the EES link of the Indian Heart Journal.

CSI-Sub-Speciality Council

Friends,

It has been an eventful year for the Preventive Council of CSI. The �rst annual conference

on Preventive Cardiology, organized at Agra on 27th and 28th September by the UP

Chapter of CSI was a huge success in terms of attendance, quality of deliberations and

participation of eminent national and international faculty. The organizing team at Agra

headed by organizing Secretary Dr Praveen Jain, organizing committee chairman, Dr

Pravin Goel and Joint organizing secretary Dr Satyendra Tewari did a commendable job.

The meeting emphasised the need for mounting an all out effort to reduce cardiovascular

burden in India. Cardiological Society of India is committed to the advancement of

preventive cardiology and the second annual conference is being planned in the latter half

of 2015. Preventive council is also planning to collaborate with international

organizations for exchange of ideas, and sharing research initiatives. Preliminary

discussions are underway. We will also work closely with the research cell of CSI for

conducting research methodology workshops during and in between regular conferences.

Preventive council also plans to conduct workshops on cardiac rehabilitation, smoking

cessation, nutrition, hypertension and lipid disorders.

The increasing cardiovascular disease burden in India is largely caused by high risk factor

prevalence in our country. Awareness, treatment and control of hypertension, lipid

abnormalities and Diabetes remain sub optimal. We will have to plan remedial measures

at the earliest to avert disaster and all cardiologists of this country should unite to

formulate effective prevention strategies. We will have to interact with the government

in public health initiatives for reducing smoking and excessive salt intake. We should try to

reach the public and advise them about heart healthy diet. As emphasised by several

stalwarts in the �eld, future generations will not forgive us if we don't join our hands for

preventing cardiovascular disease in India.

Dr K Venugopal, immediate past president of CSI has been a source of inspiration and

strength for all activities of preventive council. I thank resident CSI Dr H K Chopra,P

P G P President elect Dr Santanu Guha, eneral Secretary Dr M K Das, ast residents

Dear Fellow Cardiologists,

Today only a minuscule number of cardiologists are interested in improving the methods

for diagnosis and treatment of RF RHD. If you are one of them then do ponder on the fact

that today treating a patient of RF with Penicillin is like choosing to die with a gun or

mauled by a tiger. All the doctors without exception deliver the Injection to the patient

with trepidation. After all, just think.... Inj penicillin is being given to actually treat the

GroupAStreptococcus so why not the best and safest and oral antibioticAzithromycin. You

will all agree that Azithromycin is the best drug for primary prophylaxis so why not for sec

prophylaxis as in both you are treating GABHS. So is it unethical to use a safe drug

Azithromycin or is it unethical to give Inj Penicillin knowing how serious your patient can

get if at all he can manage to procure it and get it injected!

Please go through my article on RF RHD in Cardiology Update 2014 and 2012 and give me

your positive feedback. It will help me in my further work on RF RHD which I am starting in

top gear with help and guidance of CSI.

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year.

Dear Colleagues,

Wish you all a very happy and healthy new year. CSI has proposed to start a website for

congenital heart disease (CHD). As there is no authentic data on the incidence of CHD

patients treated in our country, this registry will go a long way to have the details of

incidence of various CHD treated with balloon intervention and the device closure. I

request all our esteemed colleagues to send the details of CHD cases treated at their

centre either monthly/quarterly or biannually. The compiled data of the whole nation will

be presented at next annual CSI conference. Thanking you all in advance for your kind

cooperation. With best wishes and respectful regards

Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy is the term used to describe a constellation of features

indicative of abnormal heart structure and function in patients with cirrhosis. These

include systolic and diastolic dysfunction, electrophysiological changes, and macroscopic

and microscopic structural changes. The prevalence of cirrhotic cardiomyopathy remains

unknown at present, mostly because the disease is generally latent and shows itself when

the patient is subjected to stress such as exercise, drugs, hemorrhage and surgery.

The main clinical features of cirrhotic cardiomyopathy include baseline increased cardiac

output, attenuated systolic contraction or diastolic relaxation in response to physiologic,

pharmacologic and surgical stress, and electrical conductance abnormalities (prolonged

QT interval). Electrophysiological changes including prolonged repolarization and

impaired cardiac excitation-contraction coupling have been demonstrated in cirrhotic

patients. Repolarization prolongation is manifested by a prolonged QT interval on the

electrocardiogram. Rate-corrected prolongation of the QT (>440 msec) is found in 30-60%

of patients with cirrhosis. Prolongation of QT interval can be associated with an increased

risk of certain ventricular arrhythmias, particularly the torsade de pointes type of

ventricular tachycardia. The exact mechanism leading to these electrophysiological

changes is unclear. In clinical studies, severity of liver disease and circulatory dysfunction

are related to prolonged QT interval. Moreover, these changes disappear after liver

transplantation in most patients

In the majority of cases, diastolic dysfunction precedes systolic dysfunction, which tends

to manifest only under conditions of stress. Diastolic dysfunction manifests as a stiff,

noncompliant ventricle, and is often seen in patients with some degree of left ventricular

hypertrophy or dilatation. However, overt structural changes in the ventricle are not a

prerequisite for diastolic dysfunction. Impaired passive and active �lling of the left

ventricle in early and middle-late diastole, respectively, lead to an inability to adequately

increase stroke volume in response to stimuli. Generally, cirrhotic cardiomyopathy with

overt severe heart failure is rare because of the peripheral vasodilatation characteristic

of cirrhosis, in effect “autotreating” the ventricle by systemic vasodilatation reducing

afterload, and compensatory diminution of inhibitory in�uences such as the cardiac

muscarinic system.

An Unresolved Rare Clinical Entity :

Cirrhotic CardiomyopathyMajor stresses on the cardiovascular system such as liver transplantation, infections and

insertion of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent-shunts (TIPS) can unmask the

presence of cirrhotic cardiomyopathy and thereby convert latent to overt heart failure.

Indeed, heart failure is responsible for 7-15% of mortality following liver transplantation

and is the third-leading cause of death after rejection and infection. Cirrhotic

cardiomyopathy is a primary determinant of survival in cirrhotic patients undergoing

procedures that stress the cardiovascular system Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy may also

contribute to the pathogenesis of hepatorenal syndrome.

There is no direct genetic predisposition to cirrhotic cardiomyopathy. Pathogenic

mechanisms of cirrhotic cardiomyopathy are multiple and include abnormal membrane

biophysical characteristics, impaired -adrenergic receptor signal transduction andβ

increased activity of negative-inotropic pathways mediated by cGMP. Other mechanisms

include increased inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) activity with overproduction of

NO, and increased heme oxygenase-1 activity that overproduces carbon monoxide. Both

gases inhibit cardiomyocyte contractility by stimulating soluble guanylate cyclase to

produce cGMP. cGMP inhibits contractility by several mechanisms, mainly by inhibiting

calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum of the cardiomyocyte

Diagnosis and differential diagnosis require a careful assessment of patient history

probing for excessive alcohol, physical examination for signs of hypertension such as

retinal vascular changes, and appropriate diagnostic tests such as exercise stress

electrocardiography, nuclear heart scans and coronary angiography. Increased circulating

levels of BNP in asyptomatic cirrhotic patients are correlated to QT interval prolongation,

interventricular septal thickness, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter and impairment

of diastolic function.

Current management recommendations include empirical, nonspeci�c and mainly

supportive measures. Angiotensin/aldsterone inhibitors appear to be a very promising

potential treatment for cirrhotic cardiomyopathy. Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT)

remains the gold standard of curative therapy in most liver diseases. In fact, virtually all

cardiac alterations detected before transplantation are returned to normal and it is

suggested that liver transplantation reverses cirrhotic cardiomyopathy.

The exact prognosis remains unclear. The extent of cirrhotic cardiomyopathy generally

correlates to the degree of liver insuf�ciency. Reversibility is possible (either

pharmacological or after liver transplantation), but further studies are needed.

Some Thoughts About Innovation in

Cardiology in India

The word innovation means an act which is something new, may be customs or rites

contrary to the established one. The whole evolution itself is an innovative process which

gets meaningful in terms of increasing the sustainability of life. Similarly, the innovations

that have happened in the �eld of Cardiology in the last �fty years or so are phenomenal.

Few will live long, as almost throughout the day their names are associated with the

day-to-day works of a Cardiologist. TRH Laenec, Werner Forssman, Masan Sones,

Andreas Gruentzig, Sven-Ivar Seldinger, Paul Zoll, Harvey Feigenbaum are only few

amongst the hundred. But all the names are from the western parts of the globe and

almost none from India. But it was not so 2800 years back, when the medical science

specially the �eld of Surgery & Orthopaedics attained a peak with innovations from

ancient India. Only in recent past, a low-cost Kalam-Raju stent and Sree Chitra valves

were conceived, devised, manufactured and used in Indian subjects. The other ones are

in the �eld of manufacturing of low-cost cardiac bio-markers and chyral molecules. The

“Hello Kalyani” project at Kolkata experimenting trans-telephonic transmission of the

cardiac rhythm should have been a game changer in cardiac care in India. But that did not

happen. We must ask ourselves: why is it so we the Indians are not innovative? The answer

will not be very dif�cult to �nd, as many Indians working abroad in different �elds are

quite innovative. It probably boils down to the working environment of India speci�cally.

De�nitely fund crunch to sustain a research project is there. But more than that is (i) our

likeness for copy-catism, which assures quick �nancial gain, (ii) our fondness for

mediocrity which gets more rewards from every corner, (iii) Inertia of thinking, which is

the natural extension of the �rst two.

How can we overcome this?

First approach should be “Catch them young”. The young buds in the Institutes of

Cardiology should be encouraged to go for innovation. This can be done by funding from

agencies that are doing this. There should be arrangement to present their innovative

works at the scienti�c world followed by presentations at the corporate world so that the

works can be converted to manufacturing for bulk use with pro�tability. Secondly, the

worker should get cash award and be protected by copy right or intellectual property

right which will ensure continuous income for the innovator. There should be shunning of

greed of the mentor, otherwise no incentive will be there to the would-be achievers.

Thirdly, we must ensure to give proper recognition to the new group of professionals

known as “Cardiac Researcher” who will opt for a career that is going to be a life away

from the eyes of the public.

Few clues where a cardiologist can work: India has been found to be strong in software

technology and back-of�ce works. Why cannot we start from there? India has also seen the

surge of using mobile phones. Let the young Cardiologist with concept of haemodynamics

or electrophysiology etc. work with IT professionals and conceptualise something new in

diagnostics which can be incorporated in the mobile phones for use by the health

professionals. We are already using the Whatsapp for seeing the ECG or Chest X-ray or CT

scan and giving quick opinion even before reaching the hospital. We talk much about

central blood pressure (CBP) which is the better marker for future cardiac events. Now

the algorithm for calculation of CBP based on haemodynamics and biophysics can be found

out and may be incorporated in the mobile phones of the doctors. Similarly, the cardiac

biomarkers may possibly be another area where mobile phones can be used by just putting

the �nger on the phone. However in the process, all the legal and ethical formalities will

have to be complied. Mobile phone itself may possibly be converted to basic ECG machine

which can send the ECG instantaneously by the patient to the health care provider.

I hope that Cardiological Society of India can initiate the process by declaring the “CSI

Innovation Award” ever year. It will not only encourage the new generation, but also help

our country in a big way by providing easy but low cost technology.

Guidelinesfor the branches

1. All CSI branches (city and State branches) shall be under the administrative control

of the parent body.

2. Branches must follow the Constitution of the CSI with regard to membership,

elections, functions of the office-bearers and aims & objectives.

3. Each branch should have its own articles of association and rules and regulations

registered with the registrar of societies. This is needed as the composition of the

executive committee and the scientific committee will depend upon the existing

strength of the members and is likely to be at variance with that of the parent body.

4. Branches should use correct logo and stationery in conformation with that approved

for the parent body.

5. New branches to be created should follow the state-wise pattern (pre-existing

branches would not be disturbed). City branches should have affiliation to the state

branch and the state branches should be directly responsible to the parent body.

Zonal branches, if formed, must have membership from contiguous states and union

territories and not from one state/city only. It is desired that correct nomenclature

of the branches be followed to avoid confusion and overlap.

6. Branches should have regular elections at least once in every two years. It would be

the joint as well as separate responsibility of the Secretary and the President of the

outgoing executive committee to send the notification regarding newly elected

office bearers to the parent body. If there is no election for two or more consecutive

terms, the branch shall stand dissolved and all money/assets owned by it shall vest

with the parent body till alternative arrangements are made. Bankers of the

branches must be given a copy of this resolution at the time of opening of the branch

or when the office bearers change.

7. The election of the branch body should be direct with all members offered an

opportunity to participate. Number of office bearers would not exceed 10% of the

current membership with a minimum of four office bearers. There should be no

provision for nomination although the articles of association should mention the

method of filling of any interim vacant post. All such decisions should be ratified by

the general body with a copy to the parent body.

8. Each branch should have its own bank account, PAN, TDS number and 80G

certificate. This should be communicated to the parent body as soon as it becomes

available. However, the parent body shall not share any financial liability. All tax

matters will be the responsibility of the branch. No proceedings would be

permissible against office bearers of the parent body (CSI) for the lapses of the

branches.

24 25

9. Audited accounts of the branch should be submitted every year to the HQ. These will

be shown as annexures in the annual report of the CSI parent body. Only the portion

of the money which are physically transferred to the accounts of the HQ shall form

part of the latter's accounts. Failure to submit audited accounts for two or more

consecutive terms without a valid and acceptable reason shall result in dissolution

of the branch. The names of auditors and bankers must be communicated to the HQ.

The HQ shall reserve the right for external audit in case of complaints, if any.

10. A branch must periodically (once in six months) submit a report of its activities to

the Headquarter.

11. Branches shall enjoy complete financial autonomy with regards to the funds

collected by them. However, wherever a large capital expenditure of more than 5

lakhs is contemplated, prior permission of the HQ should be obtained. Each branch

should make a provisional budget in advance and seek approval from its own general

body.

12. Branches are expected to optimally utilise the resources and it is desirable to send a

periodic report about it to the HQ.

13. All disputes and disagreements related to any branch shall have final arbitration by

the national executive committee of the CSI.

14. Amember either ordinary or Life Member of the Central CSI could be ordinary or Life

Member of the Branch. Others could only beAssociate member of the branch.

15. To open a branch, the required number of members should be 25.
