Dear Colleagues
Thank you very much for the confidence and trust bestowed upon me to have selected me as the Secretary of IMA Kalyan. It is a great honor and indeed a great pleasure for me to have the opportunity to work for the better future of our medical association and fraternity. Our patrons and past office bearers have worked tremendously for last 26 years. They have laid the foundation for us to work for future in achieving our dream goals Our team of IMA Kalyan 18-19 has promised to solve all pending issues of the association. The first issue in the bucket list is to get our IMA hall, majority of the hall work is done and in coming months we will be shifting in our new premises.
Our next emphasis will be on making our association legally strong for this, we appointed Mr. Vivek Biwalkar (a senior high court lawyer) on honorarium basis. The legal help is extended to all our members also.

I feel proud to say our team has followed our slogan for this year "let's connect with each other". Our team had organised a one-day CME on 17th June 2018 where our local paediatric surgeous & physicians shared the platform to teach our clinicians about basics and latest medical updates. We celebrated 1st July 2018 as Doctor's Day. Our team had organised a Blood Donation Camp in collabration with Arpan blood bank and donated 210 blood bottles to Rukhminibai Hospital of Kalyan Dombivli Municipal Corporation. Print Media gave an excellent coverage for this work.

As I said, we want to connect with each member of IMA Kalyan for this year and we want to build strong relation with our society and various social and goverment organisation. My vision is to take IMA Kalyan to such an respectable height from where society should salute to IMA Kalyan's achievements. I want to bring back the faith in society regarding medical fraternity. Our aim to curb malpractices in medical fraternity practiced by 10% of doctors which is affecting the good work done by 90% of noble doctors. Our aim is to give total protection to our members legally. IMA Kalyan has completed 27 years sucessfully only because of active office bearers for years and 100% participation of each member. We have 480 members and soon we will be crossing magic number of 500. As a secretary, I can only assure you that I live IMA and I breaths IMA ......Dil se!!!
