4. a) Shri W S
Janbandhu Org. Secretary of IPROA welcomed the President
and Vice-Presidents and all esteemed members present in the meeting.
He happily mentioned that the strength of members both Mumbai and outstations
has reached more than 200 He categorically stated that the credit goes to Our
Secretary and his unrelenting efforts to reach the membership to the
extent of more than 200 in Circle. He thanked and praised all Members for their
presence in today’s meeting in spite of dislocations in local Central and
Western trains, unforeseen hurdles and obstacles put forth by heavy incessant
rains in Mumbai City for the last 2 days.
b) He further
stated that the official what’s app group of IPROA which was introduced at the
time of formation of IPROA some 3 to 4 years back is losing its sanctity and becoming
a laughable stock. The real purpose of this what’s app group to pass on
valuable and important information’s relating to DOP is defeated. For example,
the birthday wishing message by any one Member of IPROA is followed by many
Members though they are known to him or not and immediately followed by the
message of condolences/Shradhanjali with photos. Besides, the messages from the
member about non settlement of his grievance is relayed through this
group. He requested the President of
IPROA to advise and guide all Members in this connection in his key note
address.
c) He
then introduced and welcomed the following new members who attended
the meeting first time. All members present in the meeting also joined in
welcoming them
i.
Shri N.D.Sonar
ii. Shri R.Y.Lonsane
iii. Shri M.L.Dalvi
iv. Shri M.D.Mane
v.
Shri S.P.Hire
vi. Shri Edwin Amburaj
vii. Shri M.L.Dalvi
5. Shri
U.P.C. Tauro, Secretary of the Association informed all the members that
the minutes of the 3rd Annual General Body Meeting (AGM) held
on Saturday the 23rd June 2018 at 11.0 a.m in the Conference Hall of
Dadar Inspection Quarters (I.Q.) Dadar H.O. Building 5th floor Dadar
(East) Mumbai 400014 were circulated to all members through what’s app as well
as through e mail & also posted in Associations’ Blog www.iproamh.com.
The hard
copies were posted to the members not having what’s app/email facility. The
minutes of the last AGM were got ratified unanimously.
6. While welcoming
all members present in the meeting, Shri R Ganesan, President of the
Association in his key note address, mentioned that it was heartening to see
that much attendance in spite of very difficult weather posing challenge our
movement. He specifically mentioned that we should never forget that we are in
Association IPROA to enjoy that warmth and bonhomie, nothing more nothing less.
The motto of the Association is Care * Share* Welfare. The purpose for which
the Association was formed has been served in this approach, the rest are
incidental. Today’s gathering is the testimony to that spirit.
(ii) He also
pointed out that the official what’s app group of IPROA was not for chatting.
The posting of many messages of birthday and condolences together is
uncomfortable. If message is given to known person, the purpose is achieved to
develop bond between them.
He also suggested
and requested to all members to refrain from posting of messages critical of
each other in the official what’s app group of IPROA as the group is meant for
love and to interact with each other. There should not be any interaction to
create bad and unpleasant atmosphere, but only to enjoy the friendship of
yesteryears.
(iii) He requested the
Secretary that our message in this regard may be circulated to all those who
did not attend the meeting and others in Regions.
7. Ms Humera Ahmed Vice President of the
Association briefed the members about the health condition of Shri A. P.
Srivastava our Vice-President IPROA. She suggested that as they have a group of
IPOS 79 batch the members can form groups of 10-12 members as per IPO/ASP/
SP/SSP promotions. She further suggested that there should be 3 meetings in a
year, including one AGM to be held in the first week of June every year, two
meetings including AGM with Lunch & the other one with high tea.
President
stated that there is no objection to having three meetings provided there is
enough response as reflected in good attendance by the members. If the response
is poor, then it strains the organisers both physically and financially. We can
have three meetings when we get good response to be known at least a week
before the meeting date. The Secretary will communicate next meeting date
accordingly.
8. Shri U.P.C.Tauro Secretary of the
Association presented the Annual Report to bring home the various activities of
the Association since last AGM. He told the members that the copy of the Annual
report is kept in the broachers given to the attending members. The Annual

issue regarding granting the benefits of MACPS w.e.f.1.1.2006,
as per Sixth CPC and Judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court was deliberated. It was informed to the house by the

JCM. This issue was also discussed during the 47th Meeting of the
