Respected Collogues,

As I take on the responsibility of this chair I acknowledge the trust bestowed on me. I assure you on behalf of the executive of the best services we would like to provide to the honorable members. There are many areas which come to my mind where we plan to give more thrust. Diabetes, Glaucoma & Amblyopia have long since being neglected by the physicians and the ignore at society. We plan to associate bodies like DMA (etc.) to reach the physician and train them for proper and timely referrals to the eye surgeon. Some awareness programmes could be done to educate the general public. The increasing popularity of the conferences in terms of delegates, scientific material and trade speaks of its high standard. We look forwards to maintain these levels and do it more effectively.

The DOS teaching programme has shown increasing interest by own posts graduates can we make it more useful, I am sure we shall work in the direction. DOS on line is one of the important tools of education in near future, lecture and surgeons by world removed surgeon shall be available and this could be accessed by any DOS member any time.

Our executive and I do not would to make tall promise. But we commit to perform, perform and perform.

With best regards.
