I thank personally to all members and seniors for giving me opportunity to serve our association as Hon. Secretary. 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 Webmaster. We intend to make membership online with payment online, update of profile online, develop Orthopedic Information Highway -channels to inform, educate, share, Patient Information Highway and other facilities.

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.

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!
