	I joined this society in 1989 as life member when my co senior resident Dr. Arun Sangal who was secretary
of this society asked me to become member of DOS. I have held various executive posts for more than a decade I got a chance to work under the leadership of Late Dr. Patnaik, Dr. R.V. Azad, Dr. M.P.S. Sachdev, Dr. A K Grover, Dr. N. Shroff, Dr. S. Bharti, Dr. Lalit Verma, Dr. P.V. Chadha.

Many of my young friends need to know that this society started with humble beginning of half a day of annual conference has grown to a three day annual conference by day and night efforts of these ophthalmic stalwarts. I salute all those hard working and academically excellent ophthalmologists who made this possible. My main contribution to the society is my involvement for obtaining registration as charitable society meaning thereby that the society does not pay any income tax on its income. This exemption was allowed to the society during my tenure as treasure in year 1999.

What is good about this society?

• Unity in diversity of various streams of ophthalmologists i.e practitioners, teachers and residents
• Rich academic feast throughout the year in the form of DOST, Monthly clinical meetings and two conferences
• Healthy industrial support
• Various social events like picnic and cultural programmes
• All out involvement in strengthening of various community programs involved in alleviating the menace of blindness like DM and glaucoma

I assure all of you that I will put all my efforts for smooth conduct all such activities.

My vision:

• Motivating all teaching institutions to actively participate in monthly clinical meetings. This is required for strengthening the roots of society.
• Development of infrastructure for the society something like AIOS house
• The issue of recognition of day care centers,
• Issue of low remuneration by TPAs

I resolve to solve these issues.
What is expected from you?
