AIM-Alumni Association India
New Team at Work THE NEW MEMBERS OF AIM ALUMNI ASSOCIATION INDIA (AIMAAI) started their term of office last September 20, 2008. Since then, they have firmed up plans to involve as many members in their activities as possible. One of the steps taken is to create three committees namely: Fellowship & Programs Committee (Manish Panchal, MM 2003, chairman), International Relations Committee (Sushant Panda, MBM 1989, chairman), and the Membership Development Committee (Segi Idicula, MM 1998, chairman). Each committee has been mandated to develop its own team and agenda to be effectively pursued for the next two years with a clear sense of continuity. The other significant move of the new team is to create local/regional chapters in key cities of the country. The Hyderabad Chapter of AIMAAI was launched by AIM President Francis G. Estrada last November 13, 2008. New Delhi, Bangalore (now Bengaluru) and Chennai chapters are in the offing. The common denominator of all AIMAAI activities—whether national or regional—is to create a better image of AIM and improve its visibility in the country through larger involvement of alumni members. AIMAAI also plans to create a ‘placement’ cell that will coordinate employment opportunities of Indian students graduating from AIM year after year. The new team of AIMAAI, under the leadership of Mr. M. P. Singh, MBM 1976 as president, believes that their initiatives will stand AIM and the Association in a better stead. OFFICE BEARERS Mr. M. P.
