Message for the First Announcement
Dear Fellow ASI members,
The Annual ritual of conducting the State Conference is underway. The place is North Eastern part of Karnataka, Bijapur and the dates are 4th, 5th & 6th of February 2011.
After a gap of almost 15 years, we are returning back to the land known for their hospitality. Bijapur, earlier known as Vijapur used to be the home of the Bahamani Sultans. Apart from the world famous Gola Gummata, this region has many other places of historical and architectural interest. Added, spiritually we have Kudala Sangam and Gyan Yogashrama of Sri Siddeshwar Swamiji. For members who didn’t make it to Bagalkot, here’s another occasion to make it to the world famous Pattadakal and Aihole caves.
Significantly, the 29th Annual Conference of the Karnataka State Chapter of Association of Surgeons of India will be organized by a younger brigade. Our Chairman elect, Dr. Tejaswini Vallabh, Organizing Chairman of the Conference Dr. Arvind Patil and Organising Secretary, Dr. Mallikarjun Patil would surely make all the efforts to see that the purpose of the Conference is fulfilled.
Surgical education and Service are two important yet less concentrated aspects of the specialty. Surgical education is restricted to formal education, which is in doldrums for multiple reasons. Secondly, health care delivery (service sector) is facing plural issues in fast changing scenario. Therefore, it is very apt that ‘Towards excellence in Surgical education & Service’ is the theme of the conference.
Dear members, kindly mark these dates after mailing your registration early.
Wishing to see you at Bijapur,
Yours truly,
Sharad M. Tanga
Chairman
ASI-KSC
