Presidential MessageSeasons Greetings !

This is the second edition of our newsletter before you. The Association of Colorectal Surgeons of India ( ACRSI) has progressed rapidly during the last 2 years. The Directory and Website have been updated which was a long awaited marathon job to be done due to untiring efforts by our dynamic secretary Dr Niranjan. We have been continuously informing all members regarding conferences and updates regularly. Our journal is under process of being published before september and I request all members to contribute in a big way by sending articles for the same. ( Avoid single case reports.) Our membership strength has gone up and ACRSI family is now reaching 1600 members. Our Fellowship training programmes and examination have gained immense popularity not in India alone but also in our neighbouring countries too. It is duty of all members and executive committee to make this chapter most vibrant and academically strong. Looking forward to your support in this regard and suggestions are welcome.

Fourth Comming Conference Acrsicon 2017

As I pen down my last message as Hon Secretary of our august association for the term 2015 2017, I have mixed feelings of gratification and complacency. Gratification because so many issues were solved and worked upon to get back our organization in to the mainstream and complacency because much more could have been done . By the time you receive this newsletter the election process would have been started and I am sure all of you would be aware about the same, thanks to our new sms service, new website and corrected data emails Many could not participate in the process last time due to incorrect data but now I am sure the festival of democracy will be celebrated with much more pomps and pleasure due to the renewed data now available on website too.. Newsletter such as this are being now sent regularly both by post as well as emails .Our accounts are all streamlined and submitted to ASI within the stipulated time. All past pending dues have been cleared now .We now have a fix office for 6 years at Mumbai for matter of continuity of the office work. Our courses and the Fellowship exams have become repopular to the extent of attracting many overseas delegates too . Similarly our conferences are seeing new heights not only from scientific content but delegate participation too. Our last conference in Mumbai conducted in conjunction with ISUCRS and ISPFD witnessed a huge delegation both nationally as well as internationally touching an all time high of 800 plus another 100 accompanying persons . We had the proud privilege of bestowing the Life Time Achievement Award this year to none other than one of the most dedicated colorectal surgeon amongst us and you are guessing it right - its Dr Mayilvaganan. Our International Traveling Fellowships are now alloted by marking system to make it completely transparent .Orations during the conference are also being decided on basis of application and contributions to the field of colorectal surgery.Masterclass to discuss a subject thread bare will now be a permanent feature of our annual conference. We are introducing the "ACRSI Abbott Excellence Award" for delegates presenting free papers, posters and videos during our annual conf to boost academic presentations from our members .The ACRSI journal will soon see the sun again, an another step to boost our academics. Zonal CMEs are being encouraged by the Vice Presidents and zonal executive members to take the academics to grass root levels . Reports of CMEs at Mumbai and Ranchi are already presented in this newsletter and soon Kolkata and Solapur CMEs will be conducted this month itself. .The annual conference at Coimbatore during September 2017 promises to be a mega scientific feast with Dr Palanivelu at its helm of affairs.May I request you all to register in large nos to be part of this mega event..The next course and exam will be held during April 2018 at Aurangabad under the able guidance of Dr Pravin Suryavanshi and Dr Atul Deshpande.
