  • Prof. Jaishri Jethwaney Pledges Books Royalty To IIMCAA Medical Assistance Fund

    Dear IIMCians,
    IIMC Alumni Association has received an unique support for its IIMCAA Medical Assistance Fund by former course director and our beloved teacher Prof. Jaishri Jethwaney. Prof. Jethwaney has pledged earnings from the royalty of books written by her to IIMCAA Medical Assistance Fund on annual basis.
    Annual General Body Meeting held at IIMC HQ, New Delhi on 13 October, 2019 overwhelmingly applauded the gesture of Prof. Jethwaney. IIMCAA President Mr. Prasad Sanyal made an open appeal to alumni to support the IIMCAA Medical Assistance Fund to help more alumni in need. IIMCAA has started this fund allocating 10% of Annual Alumni Meet Connections sponsorship earnings this year only.
    We are reproducing the email from Prof. Jethwaney to let you feel how much concern she has for her academic children and how much indebted we must be feeling as an organisation to a revered mentor for thousands of IIMC alumni. 
    Dear IIMCAA,

    I am very impressed with the Medical Fund created by IIMCAA, but feel the fund has to be sufficient to cover as many as required, keeping in view the mounting cost of medical burden on an average Indian. I feel that all of us who have been associated with IIMC and IIMCAA give a serious thought in this direction. 

    I have always considered my students as my academic children, therefore would like to contribute each year from the royalty amount I get from books in the IIMCAA Medical Assistance Fund. To begin with I wish to send a cheque of Rs. 50,000 for the year 2019. 

    Hope IIMCAA would appreciate my sentiment behind this and accept my humble offer. 

    Best. 
    JJ

    It is always a pleasure to meet as that strengthen a bonding among us and enable us know more about our careers, families and future ambitions.

We all should strive to help fellow journalists and with that spirit in mind, we decide to meet more regularly. But to make the meetings lively we intend to form various committees. Below are some of the suggestions:

    1. We should aim to celebrate festivals like Diwali Party, Secret Santa and New Year Party.

    2. We should aim to form some interest groups among members so people can interact more often and share experiences. Groups may relate to
    – Movie Club- Members can plan watch movie, discuss etc
    – Book Club- This includes discussion on various issues, Books and new study
    – Knowledge Sharing Club– Talks by our eminent members or external experts

    3. We all know that we have limited monetary resources, so members would have to contribute for the events. Contributions however will be limited to participants only.  

    We welcome suggestions from all those who could not attend our previous meeting.

    Thanks & Regards,
