Dear All Members, 

I thank personally to all members and seniors for giving me opportunity to serve our association as President IOA. Thanks for giving me opportunity to serve as Hon Sec before 3 years . We are well connected with each other. I am really blessed by senior members and fraternity friends for guidance and inputs in my journey. With this guidance and inputs from all, we together at Indian Orthopedic Association will be capable to project IOA Academic and other Activities keeping IOA member and IOA at center. We are planning to make all IOA activities and facility on digital platform with the help of IT Committee. We together intend to make Our System Robust after all Turbulence in IOA

The Mantra is to edify -enlighten, improve, nurture, instruct, educate, teach, learn.... by sharing with each other and together. Evolution of Indian Orthopedic Association has been a result of contributions through hard work, sincerity and dedication by a number of our senior colleagues. Every fraternity member belonging to the IOA contributes to its evolution in his own way. Our senior members have contributed by sharing their acquired knowledge and experience over the years. They then shaped up the second line who in turn contributed by actively implementing this knowledge and mentoring fellow members. The most enthusiastic youngest generation offer their contributions with new ideas and try to nudge others in their direction by presenting and publishing their innovations and observations. Every cadre in the field of orthopedics is important to contribute and further evolve IOA.

To implement these ideas, we look forward for our members' enthusiastic contributions, support and suggestions on how we can make better this effort. Your suggestions form a valuable part in this process. We have received number of suggestions affecting  our members’ Day Today Practice. We intend to focus on these problems by making Large task forces included in “IOA theme” ( President’s Theme). I am working hard with NMC for getting demand of Orthopedics  as subject in MBBS curriculum, Rates in Pradhan Mantri Yojna, Robust Training module, fellowships for young surgeons and bone and joints in safe hands. 

Our vision is to provide authentic medium and platform to communicate within our fraternity and keep each member informed about the latest in Orthopedic world and happenings at Indian Orthopedic Association and its affiliated chapters. We hope steps taken one by one by us, will attain new milestones of success with help from you. 

Let Us Share - Learn -Contribute Together and Evolve Further Together!
