Branch activities: Branches are using our website for reporting and many have
uploaded their account details and report. Few branches report their
activities online regularly. Branches in Maharashtra & Kerala need special
mention in this regard. It is very unfortunate that many branches are
electing non members as Office Bearers (both State & City). In many
cases they are inactive members are elected as Office bearers. GB has
approved that only active members belonging to that City / State Branch
only can become Office Bearer of that Branch. But, many cases this is not
followed and corrected in spite of calling and telling.
Grant in Aid or Branch share was disbursed to all State Branches who have submitted
their annual report and audited accounts.
ISA sponsored CMEs / Workshops were conducted at Haldwani, Jammu, Madikeri,
Raipur, Eluru, Vizayanagaram, Thanjavoor, Bhubaneshwar & ISA PG Assemblies at
Malappuram (SZ), Lucknow (CZ), Cuttack (EZ) and they were really good. First ISA
Webinar on Obstetric Anaesthesia was conducted on 17.11.18 from Hyderabad. It was
a grand success and in many places they arranged projections in Halls etc for many
members / PGs to participate.
8
Many branches & members are conducting public awareness programs & BLS for
public and medical professionals. To mention a few Virtual OT 7 ICU at Vizag by ISA
Visakhapatnam, Short film on FBF, CPR & public awareness by Dr. Sasidharan
President of ISA Kerala, short films by members in Maharashtra. COLS on WRAH Day
was a grand success. We have gifted 130 manikins to various City & State Branches.
The details of office bearers from most City Branches are made available to National
Hq. and is being updated in the website on day today basis. But many branches do not
inform anything to the Hq. Kerala & Maharashtra are sending regular reports. President
& Secretary of ISA Kerala have reported that they have visited all the City Branches in
their state. State Secretaries of Maharashtra, Karnataka & Kerala are always calling HQ
or me and update their members status or state details.

Academic Chairman, Editor in Chief, GC Member & myself attended. The second

We have acted when our members were in trouble. Contacted the Office Bearers of
Gorakhpur & Jammu when members were in trouble and offered our help whatever they
need. We even offered to visit Gorakhpur.
In the agitation against NMC, we have joined with IMA, are members of FOMA &
participated in Maha Panchayath and also sent memorandum to the Prime Minister.
14
Now, I wish to make a few observations. Very few of the City & State Branches have
submitted their Annual Report & audited accounts. Many are not following our
Constitution, Rules & Protocols. We have to give strict directions to all City & State
Branches to follow the Constitution, Rules & Protocols. The City / State Branches do
not inform death of members to ISA NHQ. Even in Conference inauguration or any
function many state & city branches do not know the protocol & do not follow them.
It is a great experience as Secretary of ISA National for 4 years. There were ups and
downs. Most unfortunate thing is that my own state members shouting at me and
questioning my integrity and support to the state when their bid for hosting ISACON was
not successful and two members of my own state who have worked for me in my
elections and were great friends were suspended & I had to send that suspension letter
to them. Other one is suspecting my integrity in election matters this year by losing
members. I tried to do it as transparent as possible and was appreciated for this, but
when results were not as expected, some have lost all faith and questioning my
integrity. I am only a Pradhan Sevak. But more are happiest moments; appreciation of
members for the work done is really great. I did this with devotion and interest doing
justice to the post to which you all elected me and the confidence you have in me. Only
thing I could not do was that I could not fulfill the wish of my Guru Dr BRK to host a
National Conference in Kerala. I failed to get support to them to host a Conference in
my own state.
I must thank my colleagues, surgeons, patients for adjusting my time during my ISA
work and travel. My family members to whom I could not give much attention in these 4
years deserve special mention. I did not go even once to see my daughter studying in
Medical College, now appearing final exams, but I went to so many ISA meetings. I will
visit her after I relinquish my office and before her final exams. At home also I couldn’t
spare time for family as all time I was in front of computer or receiving phone calls from
members or prospective members. I am missing my treasurer partner Dr. Abdul
Hameed with whom I was travelling last 25 years attending ISA Conferences. He was
not there to Preside over ISACON South in Trivandrum when he was ISA Kerala
15
President due to MI & now when we hand over his charge as Treasurer. Unfortunately
he is in coma since 31.08.18 following cardiac arrhythmias.
Wherever I went as Secretary our members and colleagues welcomed and received
very well, looked after well as their own person. It is a great joyful experience. Two
senior persons who I always remember are Dr. Avtar Singh and Dr. Tej Kaul of
Ludhiana who always enquire about my parents’ health when ever we meet or talk over
phone (During the inauguration of ISACON Ludhiana my parents met with an accident).
Colleagues and friends received me very well at all places. Special mention about Dr.
Manisha Katikar & Dr. Anjali Bhure, waiting at 4.30 in the morning to receive me at
Karad. Dr. Suresh Bhargava, Dr. Debasis, Dr. Subhendu, Dr. Mahesh Sinha, Dr. P
Kumar, Dr Jheetay, Dr. Geeta Bhandary, Dr. Attri, Dr BRK.
I have attended many Zone Conferences, State Conferences, CMEs, etc. in last 4 years
as Secretary, more so in last 2 years. Some are extremely good, give attention to
minute points but some are very casual. I strongly suggest all to read Constitution &
Rule Book, consult seniors and previous organisers or call National Secretary or GC
members to know the protocols and rules, what to do, how to do & what not to do. I
have visited almost all states and many city branches. I keep MP and MH at highest
level, Punjab, UK next. Among city branches, it is Raipur, Nagpur, Satara, Jammu,
Amritsar, Pune, Pimpri Chinchwad, Jammu Saifai, Lucknow, Moradabad, Haldwani & all
have done well. In many places waiting at very early morning at 4 am (Dr Bhure & Dr
Katikar, hats off to you) to receive me shows their affection. Hats off to them. In
Trivandrum, past National President, my Guru Dr BRK himself came to Airport to pick
me, Coimbatore & Trichy Dr. Sudarshan himself accompanied, took me to his home for
dinner. I am not writing National Conference Organisers as I am also part of it. Katyalji
is great host, Subhendu is great company, Suresh Bhargava received me &
accompanied me at Jodhpur & Bikaner. Brig Prabhakar was there in Saifai, Virender &
Bharat in Lucknow, Naveen at Gurugram in ISACON Haryana, ASK Rao and entire
team at Rajahmundry, Dr Mahesh Kumar Sinha in Raipur, Dr. Gangadhar in Bengaluru,
Sukhdev Naik in Bhubaneswar, Harshwardhan at Ujjain, Attri in Amritsar, Prof. P.
Kumar & Jheetay at Moradabad, Debasis in Cuttack. Among women leaders I must
16
mention Dr. Gouri Arora, Sheetal Dalal & Sunita Lawange of Nagpur, Nandita & Shikha
of Jammu, Deepika of Ujjian, Geeta Bhandary of Haldwani in the forefront of ISA
activities. Of course I can’t leave Dr. Tarlika & Nibedita. Among state leaders I should
mention Dr Sriganesh (Karnataka), Binil (Kerala), Raikwar (MP), Kishan (TG),
Sudarshan (TN), Surajit (Assam), Venugopal (AP), Bharat Bhushan (UP)& Manisha
(MH) for doing excellent things for their state and members. Dr SM Basu & Anjanda met
every time I went to Kolkata. Great experience.
Some states and organisers are very casual and many times felt why I came here. They
consider us as burden. I never went on myself, but on invitation only. I can even go
without any invitation to see what is happening, it is my right as Secretary. All state, city
or Zone Conference Organisers must understand that Secretary is also a practicing
anaesthesiologist like them, coming to attend the Conference leaving family and
practice only for strengthening the Society and improve relationship.
Whenever you call President or Secretary, receive them respectfully, keep them in
separate room than sharing with other delegates or faculty,( if you are unable to
provide tell in advance, they will arrange or some one else will arrange it) discuss with
them about protocol, inaugural function etc. Provide them vehicle if they want to go out
(of course the pharma company will provide, but you ask for courtesy). A few days
before the program please call and tell local arrangements made for pick up and drop,
accommodation and provide details of the inaugural function and any other assignments
given to them. In one place, where I was invited, they were not knowing who I am & I
did not meet State Secretary in the whole program, he talked over my mobile and said
he will come to my room with President, take me to dinner but I did not see him, I called
him, his mobile was switched off ⁉
I am thankful to our Office staff who did the work in time and meticulously. I am thankful
to all in the GC, past and present for their support & help. Special Thanks to President
Dr. Kuchela Babu, IPP Dr. B. B. Mishra, PP Dr. A.S.K. Rao, Dr. S S Harsoor, EiC Dr.
Divatia, Treasurer Dr. Abdul Hameed, President elect Dr Bala Bhaskar, GC Member Dr.
Kiran Kumar Gera & all friends in GC

Hon. Secretary
Discussion:
Dr. Virendra Sharma said that in spite of updating the address and requesting for hard
copy, he did not receive it. President & EIC said that the updating of address is not
required every year, only if there is change you have to update. You request only
whether you want print IJA or online IJA. Editor said that Dr. Virendra Sharma’s name
was added to the mailing list and will check now. Dr. Naveen said that it is the
responsibility of Publisher and not editor. Dr. Bharat opposed this and said that it is
editor’s responsibility and not publishers.
Dr. Suresh Bhargava wanted to know what is the hidden items Secretary explained that
there is nothing hidden and it is due to computer snag and change from MS Word to
PDF.
Dr R C Agrawal said that Secretary will be ending his term now and all should
appreciate his work.

AGENDA FOR INFORMATION
1. Status of the court Cases (This was taken & discussed after next 3 items were
discussed.)
Secretary reported that there is only one case against ISA about the 2018 online
election matter. There are no other cases. Secretary explained the matter in detail. He
said that the matter is not written in the book as the matter was changing daily and the
notice received in the last minute when the AGBM agenda was being typed. Secretary
explained that on 19th of this month at 1 pm when he was coming out of hospital the
court Amin served the court notice to him in person in his capacity as Secretary of ISA.
It was injunction order from Dist Court Kasaragod restricting him from declaring the
result of online elections held from 1st to 5th of this month. Matter was informed to the
President & CEO and they have directed him to appoint suitable lawyer and take
suitable action to vacate the injunction. Matter was informed to the GC. 2 advocates
were appointed by us. 20th was Holiday to court. Met advocates and our version was
submitted on 21st with request to prepone the hearing from 29th Nov., giving a copy to
20
the opposite advocate. On 22nd the matter was taken by the court and kept for hearing
on 23rd. Secretary was in court on 23rd during the arguments and the arguments were
closed and posted for judgment on 27th. Now, our advocate informed that the case is
dismissed yesterday. Dr. Mahesh Sinha inquired whether case is dismissed or
injunction is removed. Secretary replied that the advocate informed that the case is
dismissed. Dr. A L Meenakshi Sundaram wanted to know from the President whether
the election results are declared or not. He wanted reply from President or CEO. CEO
read the Constitution the result will be declared immediately after the completion of the
online election. Next he asked whether anybody has filed a caveat petition against him.
Whether the Association has filed the caveat through Secretary & he wanted a reply
from Secretary. He said his office has received a caveat day before yesterday.
Secretary replied Yes, I have. ALM asked why? Secretary replied but AL Meenakshi
Sundaram interrupted saying that he will accept if Dr Venkatagiri has filed it, but not
ISA. What wrong he has done to ISA? He is a member and an officer. He wanted
clarification. He wanted an apology or he will quit ISA. Secretary filing caveat against a
member is not accepted. If Secretary has done on his own without GC approval it is
wrong he does not accept it. Who permitted it? What made you to file it? Who endorsed
him to do it? What way I have offended the Society. Secretary insulted him. He wanted
to quit ISA for insulting by Caveat. It kills him What made Secretary to presume ALM is
filing case? Did GC permit Secretary to file case. Secretary is provoking. Is this the way
Secretary act? Secretary to answer. Secretary said that he will answer after hearing all.
He said that the President said that the GC has not approved. So Secretary to answer.
Then Secretary said that he understood the matter and no need to repeat it. He will
answer after gearing all.
Dr. Bharat Bhushan Bharadwaj: Case is dismissed, no need to discuss.
Dr. Suresh Bhargava : Secretary can take any precaution he wants.& proactive action.
Notice is sent to him, not to us, he can take any step he wants No need to take GC into
that. Secretary is responsible man, we have selected him, he can do it without any
permission.
21
Dr. Lalit Mehdiratta: Members know about case & caveat. Since the case is against
Secretary & ISA he has right to do all. He has not done any mistake. No damage is
done to any member by sending caveat. There are some members who have filed case
against ISA. Are we taking action against them?
President: Case is still in court. There are 2 Parts 1.Injuction, now it is dismissed., 2nd is
manipulation, it is still in court. The 2nd case. Till case is withdrawn, no discussion. It is
for information only. As President I take responsibility & own it. No more discussion as it
is still in court
Dr. M. T. Bhatia: We have to protect the Secretary. Secretary cannot be neglected. This
is very bad. He has taken the responsibility and We Dr. BRK & others who were both
Secretaries and Presidents fully want to protect the Secretary. Action he has taken is
good. ISA was attacked and he has protected. We condemn the attack & apologise you.
Dr. R C Agrawal: Who has filed case against whom? There are ignorant persons among
audience. You should tell it. I am totally ignorant
Dr. BRK: PP Dr. R C Agarwal’s plea is correct & he is ignorant. He should be informed.
Like that every member in this hall who don’t anything about it has to be informed. He
should be informed. Secretary has to be protected. He is not against any member. He
is doing it for the Society. It is not personal. He has done right after taking informal
advice from President & GC and what is appropriate is done and it is right. He should
not be blamed. Don’t nag it.
President: OK, we will back the Secretary.
Dr.M T Bhatia: Thank you. That should be
Dr. Mahesh Sinha: Caveat is not a Notice. It is only information. It is a preventive
measure.
Dr. Mallikarjuna D. : False propaganda to be stopped by losing candidates against
winning candidates, Action to be taken against them. ISA has been brought from
scratch to this level by these senior ISA members. Should not insult by going to court.
Should be discussed in GB and then if unhappy, go to court.
Secretary reply: The case was filed by Dr. Bala Saheb Bande.
Dr. ALM: Happy.
22
RC: Again wants Secretary’s answer
Secretary reply: The case was filed by Dr. Bala Saheb Bande against ISA restricting
the Secretary from declaring the results of online elections & a temporary injunction was
given upto 29th of this month restricting the Secretary from declaring the results. We
have fought it and the injunction is vacated. Then as per advocates advice a caveat was
filed I this matter as I was leaving my station on Friday and if any fresh case comes, I
