Dear friends,
Greetings from Secretaries
desk.
I am not a good orator nor am I accustomed
to give messages to anyone. I know, how to work, how to do the job and
get it done. I express what I feel when I shoulder the responsibility of
Secretary of such prestigious association.
First thing first. I thank you all for
giving this responsibility.
I remember Dr. Sharad Choudhary who was my
PG guide and was first MOA Secretary. I remember it was 26th
June 1990 when I went to him to take his blessings when I passed MS
Ortho, from B J M C Pune, he immediately asked for one thousand Rupees
towards MOA life membership. He was such gem of a person and a devoted
Secretary.
I remember Dr. C D Nalulwar who was first
to get elected to MOA exe. And become secretary from Kolhapur.Because of
him I could hear name ‘MOA EXE COMMITTEE’ in those days. I am the third
MOA secretary from Kolhapur, maximum number from any one particular
place.
It was Dr. Abhyankar who made me realize
that one must give some of his time for the association, our colleagues.
I joined MOA in 2006. Dr. Warunjikar was
there as a secretary. I believe it was him, who brought the office of
MOA to an order. He taught me importance of proper record keeping,
audited accounts, and maintain papers.
After that Dr. Abhyankar gave momentum to
MOA activities. The membership increased and crossed one thousand mark,
the journal was started website was released, regional conferences were
started and many more things to mention.
I thank all of them, for carrying the
batten and handing it to me.
I have few things goals in my mind to
begin with.
1-To increase membership and make members
more interested in association.
2-Try to percolate clinical, practicle,
knowledge and surgical skills required in day to day practice in all the
members.
3-As I am working as a WEBMASTER till
date, since inception of the website, it is my child. I have more plans
about
the website, shall try to make it more usefull, more interactive and more
members friendly and happening things.
4- Try and improve ways modes means of
communications and personal relations between all the members of MOA.
In hindi it is said
jaao saca hO vaao saih hO
. I believe it. I also
believe simplicity, sincerity, and transparency.
Marathi is such a great language it
describes it in one word-
I mention this today because,
I wish, I hope, I pray on my very first
day, when I complete my tenure I will prefer to be remembered by and for
word-
I once again thank you all for giving me
this opportunity and I expect whole hearted support from each one of you
in my tenure and even after that.
Thankyou
Dr. Nitin Deshpande.
Hon. Secretary cum Treasurer
Maharashtra Orthopaedic Association.
