Report of the Woman Empowerment Committee Chairman - Dr. MALLIKAKULANDAIVEL Warm greetings from women empowerment standing committee IMATNSB 2023. I would like to thank Dr. Senthamizh Pari sir 0ur president IMA TNSB 2023 and all the members for giving me this opportunity. Womens Empowerment can be explained as improving women's sense of self-worth, their ability to determine their own choices, and their right to influence social change for themselves and others. 71

In our society women are automatically given a place behind men. All decisions are based on the males in the family and immediate circle. Even policy changes and higher government decisions all over the world are skewed to a male perspective. For example the bill to ban the right to abortion in the United States last year is a direct threat to the safety and health of women there. Our country and especially our state is much more safer and open to womens issues. I am so grateful that I have this opportunity to work with women at the grass root level and do my part in improving women's welfare in our area. I am happy that our activities motivate more ladies and doctors to help women in their own areas too. Through our IMAactivities till date I am proud to state that women involvement and Empowerment has improved by about 5ss% in the areas which we are working in. I humbly request all IMA associations to take up such activities and help womenfolk in anyway you can. Please send reports of your activities along with photographs to me Dr M.Malliga Kulandaivel. Phone number (whatsapp) 9442220685. Email id [email protected] Agenda 22 : To receive individual member's / Branch Presidents / Secretaries resolutions & suggestions etc., (Please inform in advance to State Office).

He suggested the proposal of the incoming President, ie. collecting Rs. 3000/- from the youngsters below 30 years, 50% for 5 years, 75% for another 5 years and 100% by 40 Years of his age, as the youngsters less than 30 years are getting job now a days, The death rate is low for the age below 30 years, in spite the amount to be collected for the corpus will be less. Dr. C.N. Raja, Past State President: He appreciated the report of the State Secretary and the Finance Standing Committee Chairman.The most worrying factor is, our membership is slipping nd rd down from 2 position to 3 position in the National level. We need to surpass the number of Maharastra which is no. 1. Is the Standard Operating Procedure prepared during Dr. S.

There are Hospitals paying only Rs.40000/- to the JDNs working in the hospitals, pointing out the foreign graduates. How can a JDN would join IMA when his salary is very less, IMA should fix a salary for the JDNs, also join the collecting the membership fee in easy instalments. The PGs. are getting different stipend in different states, IMA should take an effort to fix same rate all over India.

RAGHAVELU:The Past President's Council meeting held on 18.03.2023 at IMA Hall Madurai. There were 22 members attended the meeting. The suggestions made by the council are, 93

1. It appreciates the work done by Dr. T. Senthamil Pari in the growth of FSS and taking action to satisfy the members. 2. It is advising the State President to listen to the newly formed committee, which is scrutinise the accounts and go thread bear and present a concrete report in the next State Council meet. 3. The agenda proposed by the State President is being held up or stopped by the another State President when he takes over. To avoid such unpleasant things, the State President Elect may propose the agenda, implement it and complete the same, before he leaves the post in the State Office. 4. There is a social unrest in the social media against the Doctors. To avoid such unpleasant situation, all branches may organise the meeting among the public and the welfare association on th 19 May(IMA CGP day) and listen to the grievances and put our views in running the hospitals, so as to maintain good relation and avoid hostility. 5. Many of our Hospitals do not entertain CGHS programmes in our hospitals, because of the less package and the payment is delayed. If the Nursing Homes attached to IMA can share the loss, empanelling more numbers of hospitals, and treat the Ex-Servicemen, they need not to run pillar to post for a simple treatment. If all the Hospitals attached to NHB empanelled to treat the ExServicemen, then it is the news to the whole India and service to the Nation. AGENDA15 REPORT OF THE ELECTION COMMISSION BY ITS CHAIRMAN Dr. CAPT. G. RAGHAVELU :Greeting the leaders and members, he had handed over the results th of the elections for the post of PPLSSS and FSS to the State President to announce in the 316 SCM. He said, in conducting this election, I relied upon my 35 years of observation in IMA, the constitution of IMA TNSB, and the certificate given by the respective Secretaries. Our goal is to conduct election in which no contestant is aggrieved and everyone is satisfied. This member satisfaction is lead to much more constructive cooperative activities in our association. In fulfilling this task, I appreciate, the President and the Returning Officer for the cooperation and my esteemed members of the Commission who were with me in all the activities of the election commission. Dr. S. Kanagasabhapathy, Past State President:The election conducted was unfair and not th th transparent. The elections were called for the nominations on 13 February and closed on 28 . As a returning officer, the State Secretary should send an excel sheet every day to the election commission Chairman and the State President for what are the nominations received against which th post, this is not followed. On 28 evening, they should publish a list of candidates, in the website, st that is not done. Even after the scrutiny of the nomination, after 1 , the list was not published. The people who were not filed for the post were given a post without any concurrence from the MGM or State President. For example, a person is filed a post for the PPLSSS Chairman, even the post of PPLSSS Legal Committee Chairman is not fair. The person who filed the post for PPSSS Secretary is given PPLSSS Treasurer. Another person is given Internal Audit committee Chairman. The PPLSSS Secretary has notgiven any genuine certificate, he has not written the name of the candidate, position, how many MGM is he attended etc. Conduct of Election is the issue in the Registrar of Societies now. Hence, I take this matter to the Appellant authority, the State President to takeappropriate action and declare the result. Dr. C.N. Raja, Past State President:It is told by the Election Commission Chairman that the election was conducted without affecting the feeling of the contestant. If a candidate is eligible, accept him, otherwise not. Call for renomination or notification and call for a nomination, even if you do not get the eligible nomination, on concession of MGM and the State President, select a 94

person. Selecting the candidates during scrutiny and announcing the result is wrong attitude. I endorse the view of Dr. S. Kanagasabhapathy that the election conducted was unfair and not transparent. The unqualified candidate should have disqualified. Placing a candidate who has applied for one post to another is the wrong precedence, I strongly object. Dr. S. Balaganesh, IMA Kumbakonam:I am the only one candidate applied for the post of Treasurer of PPLSSS. Unfortunately, I could not attend the scrutiny due to my health issue, but I have not been informed whether I am eligible for that post or not.I was not there in the list for no reason, whereas the person applied for the Secretary is placed as the Treasurer, I may be given explanation. Dr. N. Mohandas, Past Election Commission Chairman: As per the Constitution, the election Commission Chairman should conduct the election and handover the result to the State President and he announce it in the State Council, the result may be intimated orally to the candidates orally, assuring the result is not disclosed. It is surprised, when there was no suitable candidate, somebody else was unanimously elected, they received the communication from the office, that is not correct, we have to follow the constitution. Conducting MGM to elect the suitable candidate after the election is wrong precedence. Dr. P. Manivannan, Secretary-PPLSSS:Based on the announcement in the TIMA, the eligibility of the candidates applied for the posts in PPSSS was given to the Election Commission, based on the records available and with me and verified by me. Dr. K. Vijayakumar, Past National President, IMA HQs.:Constitution is the basis for the election, we should not be lenient. Eligibility is made to know whether the candidate is capable of handling the scheme for the post is applying for. If the applied candidate is not eligible for the post he applied, reject the same, conduct re-election. The rules and regulations are to be respected. Dr. S. Kanagasabhapathy, Past State President:The certificate given by the PPLSSS Secretary is not correct, I can prove it. Dr. Senthilkumar, IMA Tirupur: Is there any specific reason for not forwarded the nomination applications through the branch President and the Secretary this time? The branch President and Secretaries knows the candidate's involvement in IMA, hence the nominations may be routed through branch President and Secretary. Dr. R. Palaniswamy, Immd. Past State President: I have asked the Election Commission Chairman to release the name of the final list of candidates as per the programmes in TIMA, for the th post of FSS and PPLSSS. It should have released on 4 March, but it is not. Knowing the final list, we know who are all contesting the posts. Even before the election result announced, it is come to know the PPLSSS Chairman Dr. Elangovan will be the organising Chairman and Dr. Lenin, PPLSSS Secretary will be the organising Treasurer of Medico Legal Conclave, How is it possible? Dr. S.S. Sugumar, Past State President/Past Election Commission Chairman:We have to be very careful while scrutinising the names, the elections may be announced again for the posts where there is no nomination, but not to be finalised while on scrutiny. Dr. C.N. Raja, Past State President:There are incidences, the branch Secretary has not forwarded the candidature of branch Secretary due to his personal reasons, but the nominations should have forwarded through the branch. As per our previous documentation, the Secretary and the Treasurer should be at the nearest places for the easy and smooth operation of accounts. He requested the State President to announce the names of the candidates who is having the qualification, other names are to be rejected. Dr. K. Prakasam, Past State President:We cannot question the Wing/Scheme Secretary giving 95

eligibility certificate as per the records available, we cannot question him. When there is no record to trace the attendance of the meetings, the benefit of doubt should go to the candidate. Dr. J.A. Jayalal, Past National President-IMA HQs.:The State Secretary is the Returning Officer, the Past State President is the Chairman of the Election commission, associated with two dignified peoples. Election Commission Chairman is the final authority to hand over the result to the President to declare the result in the State Council. An appellate Committee may be formed after the announcement of result in the State Council. Any objection raised during scrutiny and before the election, it is acceptable. Now, in the time of announcing, withheld the result is not right. We are in the era of communication and Social media, we cannot stop communicating the result when it is announced during the counting. However, the grieved member can raise the question after announcement of the result, let the appellate authority decide. Dr. S. Kanagasabhapathy, Past State President:The records to verify the attendance is available, we can verify the same. It is decided in the last Constitution amendment committee meeting that we need not be trace the attendance for beyond 15 years. Hence, the records are available, it can be verified. Dr. K. Kuthalingam, IMA Nagercoil: The election and the announcement of result must be conducted as the constitution of IMATNSB only. Dr. P. Senguttuvan, Director of Studies CGPWing: When I was applied for the post of PPLSSS Chairman, it is told that I have not having enough attendance/ records not available, even though I was two times District Coordinator and attended the meetings more than 10 times. Now, it is said the records are for 15 years to verify, it can be explained. Dr. S. Byravarathinam, IMA Coimbatore:When we fix a qualification for the posts, we have to consider the qualification made by the National IMA as well. Also, the applications for the State must be routed through the President and Secretaries of the branch. Dr. T. Senthamil Pari, State President: Here there is no candidate raised objection. PPLSSS Secretary confirms that he verified the record and issued the eligible certificate. Any objection should have intimated then and there. Dr. S. Balaganesh, IMA Kumbakonam:I am the only one candidate applied for the post of PPLSSS Treasurer and the Secretary PPLSSS has given eligible certificate. Even the result announced, it is seen the whatsapp that someone else elected for the post of PPLSSS treasurer, when I am the only one candidate applied for the particular post. I wants to know whether I am eligible for the post of PPLSSS treasurer or not, because I am the only one applied for the post. Dr. Capt. G. Raghavelu, Chairman-Election Commission: We have gone through the nomination paper and followed the Constitution. Dr. S. Kanagasabhapathy, Past State President: Similar problem for the post of IAC Chairman of PPLSSS, where the eligibility is two times District Coordinator, is he having the qualification? Dr. T. Senthamil Pari, State President: We will withhold the results now, we will verify the nominations by forming a committee, go through the records to verify the eligibility, if the candidate is not eligible, we will cancel the election. Dr. L.V.K. Moorthy, Past State President:As per our constitution, the result is to be announced in the State Council by the State President. If the results are to be passed through the whatsapp, then the Constitutions may be changed. He requested the State President to withdraw the results passed through the Whatsapp also. Dr. M. Balasubramanian, Past State President:If the election results are withheld, how the st PPLSSS office will function after 1 April onwards. The current office bearer's tenure is till March st 31 only. In case of any Lawyer Notice, who would reply? PPLSSS Chairman, Secretary and the st Legal Committee Chairman post must be elected before 1 April. 96

Dr. Parmeswaram, Member Election Commission:We can withhold the resultsand scrutiny the qualifications of the contestant. In case of any discrepancy, re-election may be announced. Dr. N. Mohandas, Past State President:The Election results were announced early with a signature of the State President, which is against the constitution. Dr. K. Thangamuthu may be appointed as the Legal Committee Advisor and not as a Legal Committee Chairman. Dr. T. Senthamil Pari, State President: For the sake of IMA and PPLSSSS only one candidate has objected, we are going to withhold the particular result and conduct the election if necessary. Rest will be announced now. Dr. Byravarathinam, IMACoimbatore:It is not fair to announce a member elected and announce that he is not got elected later. Dr. K. Vijayakumar, Past National President-IMA HQs.:It is not right to announce the result and change if there is any change, it is a bad precedence. State President Dr. T. Senthamil Pari announced the result for the election held for PPLSSS and FSS. PPLSSS: PPLSSS Chairman : Dr. M.
