IAP BULLETIN | Volume 8 | Issue 2 | July-Sep 20122

From the Desk of Dr. Rohit C. Agrawal, IAP President 2012

Beloved friends,

Greetings from the President’s Desk.

At the outset, let me thank all of you for the love, support, confidenceandfaithreposedinmeduetowhichonlyIcouldsucceed in developing and delivering various programs to my fellow IAPians in the last 9 months. Almost all the new and improvised old modules were met and rolled out successfully. My dream projects “National Asthma Congress” and “National Vaccicon ToT” respectively held in Hyderabad in June and August in Mumbai were a huge success in terms of academic excellence and substantial revenue generation for IAP which will be disseminated in smaller branches for academic activities. Though these national events were highly appreciated and upheld by almost all, I was amazed to witness some uncalled for, unhealthy criticism with malafide intentions from somelearned members; but in fact their acts of cowardice have infused fresh adrenaline into my nerves and 2 more major national events – National Pneumonia and Antibiotic congress are in the pipeline to be held in the near future. I can only wish that good sense prevails upon them for the sake of IAP.

It gives me immense pleasure to inform you all that I made a successful bid in favor of India for the 15th APCP – APPA congress which will be held at Hyderabad in 2015. This was possible due to a robust assistance by our past president Dr. Naveen Thacker. This is 1 of the rare honors for India because this Asia Pacific Pediatric congresswill be held after more than 2 decades by IAP. IAPs 2nd international CME is going to be held on 12th and 13th October at Sharjah which will be hosted by IAP Emirates Branch.

Come September and its election fever at its peak. I am delighted to inform you that IAP is marching ahead in the millennium technologies and in all probabilities, the postal

ballot elections will be replaced by the “e-version” election process – a project pioneered by Dr. Ramesh Goyal.

Friends, IAP is going to usher in its Golden Year with Pedicon 2013. IAP is indeed privileged and honored as 2 distinguished illuminaries HE Sir APJ Kalam, ex-president Republic of India and Sir Montek Singh Ahluwalia, the Dy. Chairman Planning Commission are going to inaugurate and deliver the Swarn Jayanti Oration along with the release of IAP stamp by Hon’ble minister Mr. Kapil Sibbal to commemorate 50 years of IAP. Credit of course goes to the efforts of president elect Dr. CP Bansal. Friends, IAP is a party and signatory to the cause of WHO’s MDG-4 ie child mortality reduction by 2/3rd by 2015. IAP’s mission Uday – a brainchild of the incoming president Dr. CP Bansal, which is going to get commissioned in the golden jubilee year with a big bang will surely be an honest attempt towards it. The most pleasurable news of the millennium ie India being declared Polio free by the WHO and IAP is 1 of the proud partner and stake holder in this noble mission. I salute all those IAPians who have actively worked for the cause of Polio eradication since we all are crusaders and custodians of child welfare with the ultimate lakshya of reducing child morbidity and mortality.

My heartfelt gratitude to all the office bearers, valuableboardmembers,Hon.Sec.Gen.andefficientofficestafffor it is only because of their backup support that I could realize all my commitments, programs and dream projects with conviction.

IAP indeed is regaining recognition and admiration at GOI and other prestigious NGOs. I wish IAP a very bright future andinfiniteheightsinthenearfuture.

Long Live IAP.

Dr. Rohit C. Agrawal IAP President - 2012


IAP BULLETIN | Volume 8 | Issue 2 | July-Sep 2012 3

From the Desk of Dr. C. P. Bansal, IAP President 2013

Dear Fellow Academicians,

It is a great pleasure to address you as the IAP President Elect through Academy Today. We are already half way through the current year and it is time to plan programs for the next year.

IAP’s responsibility towards achievement of Millennium Development Goals cannot be overemphasized. In this regard IAP needs to have a multifaceted role. Involvement of all IAP branches numbering around 328 with more than 20,000 members would be crucial for an indelible impact on child health. It is thus imperative that each one member particularly those who are working in districts and rural areas should need to take up a leadership role. Every pediatrician should be in a position to train other health professionals and paramedical workers on basic neonatal and child care specially related to the Major Killers of Under 5 Mortality – I have tried to formulate a program in this regards as IAP Mission Uday. The task before us is huge and I believe that every member of our academy should take responsibility to change the lives of these children permanently.

Another neglected area within IAP is Research, which needs to be addressed urgently. Strong academic base within IAP should be utilized to develop evidence based guidelines through systematic review of various common

illnesses. I am committed to do it and will try my level best to send it to all under IAP Mission Uday.

Critical care in Pediatrics also is equally important along with the evidence based basic care. I am preparing the action plan of IAP for 2013 and request you to send me your suggestions so that we can incorporate all important matters. In first quarter of 2013, I wish to organize a”Child Survival – Call to Action” meeting – involving along with IAP Leadership, officials from GOI and from NGOslike UNICEF, WHO, USAID etc. We plan to get the Golden Jubilee Stamp of IAP to be released on the same day – assoonwefinalize theprogramwewill informyouandI request you all to make it possible to attend this grand function which will be organized in Delhi.

IAP election is round the corner. Academy is taking a lot of precautions to avoid any irregularities during the election. I sincerely request all of you to participate in large numbers in this democratic process. Please remember ‘Every Branch of IAP and Every Member of the Academy Counts, to further the goal of the Academy in our quest for redefiningandoptimizingchildcare.

Long live IAP

Dr CP Bansal IAP President-Elect, 2012



From the Desk of Dr. T. U. Sukumaran, IAP President 2011

Dear fellow Academicians,

It is my pleasure and privilege to write this message for the next issue of Academy Today. Let me at the onset congratulate Dr. Rohit Agarwal and Dr. Sailesh Gupta for all the fantastic activities they have done during this IAP year. Their projects like National Asthma Congress and Vaccicon are worth mentioning. I also think few other novel programmes are also coming up this year. All the best for Dr. Rohit and his team.

IAP is entering to this Golden jubilee year under the guidance of my friend and President elect Dr. C.P. Bansal and I wish him all the best.

Before I conclude , I request all my fellow pediatricians to join theFamilyBenefitSchemeof IAP.Thisschemewas

launched in March 2011 at Hyderabad. By the end of 2011 more than 1000 Pediatricians have joined as members. The success of this program depends on its membership. I congratulate Dr. Ajay Kumar, the Secretary of FBS and all management committee of FBS for their wonderful work. The founder membership of this scheme is extended up to March 2013.

I thank all OB members and EB members and all my brothers and sisters of IAP for the help and support given to me during my IAP career.

Your Honorary Secretary General Reports

Dear Valuable members of IAP,

The year 2012 has been one of frenetic activities, especially in the second half of the year. The meeting of the Executive Board of IAP held in June at Goa was well conducted and well participated-in by enthusiastic members, led by a very Proactive President, and took very important decisions with far reaching and good consequences for IAP. The third meeting of the executive board is due on October 14 at Mumbai and some important decisions will be taken in that meeting.

The new IAP software has been installed in the clinics of 20 IAP members successfully. Category A1 is installed with 8 members, category A2 is installed with 9 members and category A3 installed with 3 members.. The vendor is doing his very best to provide satisfactory online consultation and after-sales-services.TheofficebearersofCMICgrouparesincerely monitoring the installations and solving problems ofIAPmembers.IAPofficeisthankfultothem,especiallytoDr. Satish Pandya.

IAP website has much more information now, on its pages, than in earlier times. The website itself is ready for a complete overhaul, and this may happen early in the next year. Indian Academy of Pediatrics has successfully launched a system of online payments on IAP website. Payments for new membership and other matters can now be made on IAP website with Credit card, Debit Card or Cash Card. The website can host several sub engines allowing payments for various sub specialty chapters and conference to be made on IAP website. The fund is routed online into relevantaccounts. IAPoffice inviteschaptersandgroups to take advantage of this facility. The installation of this facility was supervised by the Chairperson of the IAP Website Committee,Dr.AmitShah,and IAPoffice isvery thankful tohim. IAP launched an Immunization reminder program for parents under ImmunizeIndia Project. This system will allow the parents of children under the care of IAP members to register their children’s birth-date and name through SMS and receive three immunization reminders on their cellular phone. It is hoped that these reminders will greatly improve immunization coverage of Indian children through a system of reminders and reinforcement. IAP will extend invitation to other medical organizations like IMA and FOGSI to join with the project.

Make Negligent Parents Liable

It’s the same old story really. Another case of rash and negligent driving. Someone is killed, a few injured. And who emerges from behind thewheel of the luxury car?Another minor.

The law treats minors differently. It does not criminalize them. This is because they are not yet of an age where they are expected to be responsible for their actions.

Which is precisely why they are not given licenses to drive. Yet, no one really has any idea of how many minors are illegally driving around in our country. Until, they end up with an accident and worse, killing or maiming for life someone who is absolutely following the law.

However, the law is clear on the issue. All of us are responsible for the use of objects licensed or registered with us. Tiger Memon’s wife pleaded innocent when shewasheld liable for theRDX inher car. Thecarwasregistered in her name. She submitted that she was not awarewhoput theRDX inhercar.TheHonorableCourtheld that since the car was registered in her name, she alone was responsible for her car and if she allowed it to be misused, she was guilty.

“Speeding 17 year old runs over..” what was a 17 year old doingbehindthewheelsofthecar,inthefirstplace.Howdidhegetthekeys?Howdidhegettolearntodriveit?

It is impossible to believe that the parents were unaware oftheiryoungdarling’sendeavors.Itisevenmoredifficultto believe that they were unaware of his age. By that logic, it is obvious that they very willingly and participatively allowed their minor son to drive the car regularly.

So if this act on their part has resulted in the murder of a law abiding citizen, the parents are liable for this murder caused in broad daylight. After all, if they allowed their car to be driven by another, especially one legally unauthorized to drive it and they were aware of the latter fact then it directly implicates them for this rash and negligent act. They should be tried for the crime.

How is it that seemingly law abiding citizens allow their

brains to be corrupted when it comes to dealing with their children. How does a parent allow a child to indulge in a rash act that could be dangerous to the child as well as to others.

Parents often cite inability to curb their children’s behavior. Some would plead helplessness to prevent their adolescents from having their way.

The genesis of this evil lies much earlier. One sees a lot of children for behavioral problems. Almost always, there is a history of years of viewing violence and abuse on Television. Of late, animation and computer games have taken over the role of inculcating violence in our children. A study in the US noted that by the time a child is 15 years old, he has seen more than 200,000 violent acts on TV; more than 16,000 are murders. It is rather common to see ourtinytotsimitateandenacttheirfavorite(almostalwaysviolent)cartooncharactersinreallife.

Astonishingly, when I suggest that parents restrict this unbridled viewing, they ask me to “warn” their child not todoso!Iflatlyrefuse-Ihavenojurisdiction.Idon’towntheir TV set and their child knows that. I won’t be surprised if the kid tells me off and asks me to mind my business-he would be right!

I ask parents- who paid for this TV- Computer- Play Station?Ifyoudid,whoelsehastherighttodecidehowtouse it! Would you allow a stranger to enter your home, sit onyoursofaandswitchontheTV?Ifyouwon’tallowthat,howcanyoupleadhelplessnesswithyourchild?Wouldyouallowhimtosmokeordrinkordrive?Theanswerisno. Tragically, if you can’t even exert control over the TV, that is exactly what is likely to happen.

Pathetically, parents have become confused about their children and their role as parents. Being a cool parent is seen akin to allowing a child to do as he feels. “We need to be friends, and allow a child to do what she wants. Worse, since we are busy with our own lives, its best to let them have their way as long as it doesn’t disturb us!”

Children do not have an ability to reason, to assess. They



followtheirimpulseforinstantgratification.Aoneyearoldwill crawl to the top of the staircase to get that toy and may roll down. A two year old will grab and bite into that tasty tidbit, not realizing it is still piping hot. A four year old will not be able to resist that cookie to focus on something that the mother is reading to him. This is the natural state of things.

A parent is expected to understand this and gently steer the child in a way that over a period of time, the child learns to delay instant gratification in favour of longterm benefit. This, of course, is easier said than done.It requires anticipation of daily chores that surround the child, a quiet yet complicit understanding and strategizing among parents and grandparents, an age appropriate and clear two-way communicationwith the child and a firm

and consistent implementation of decided rules. If this is regularly implemented, it is like asking the child to walk along a smooth straight road. Failure to do so leads to convoluted means of handling daily issues and leads to rapidly deteriorating relationships. Fragile truces are achievedandbroken regularly. Independent fiefdomsarebrokered – unrestricted and unsupervised television and computer time fall in the child’s domain, parents heave a sigh of relief for a few hours of peace.

A peace that proves rather costly, come adolescence.

Moving the needle in the fight against Hepatitis

Unsafe injection practices and the reselling of sharps waste are the major causes of periodic hepatitis B and C epidemics

Drugs and tattoos are fads among today’s youth who seem to have absolutely no idea of the resultant risks involved in contracting a life-threatening disease such as hepatitis. The situation could be especially galling for those who contract hepatitis accidentally. Ask Mr. Amitabh Bachchan.Seriouslyinjuredonthesetsofthefilm“Coolie”in 1982, the actor only pulled through after weeks of care and dozens of blood transfusions.

Almost 28 years later, in April 2010, tests revealed that Mr. Bachchan had liver cirrhosis caused by Hepatitis B (HPB).Fornearly threedecades, thedeadlydiseasehadsilently wasted away almost 25 per cent of his liver. When the HPB virus causes prolonged infection and damages the liver over the years, it is called chronic Hepatitis B. Most persons with chronic HPB may remain symptom-free for years. During this time, blood tests are usually normal or mildly abnormal. Only when the liver is seriously damaged may there be signs of severe disease such as cirrhosis or liver failure. By then, it may be too late.

THE VIRUSES

That’s why awareness and preventive measures are essential.Hepatitis,whichisaninflammationoftheliver,is usually caused by a viral infection. Among hepatitis viruses—A,B,C,DandE—HPBandHepatitisC(HPC)present the greatest danger through periodic outbreaks. Moreover, HPB and HPC cause chronic disease in millions worldwide, constituting the most common causes of liver cirrhosis and cancer.

MODES OF TRANSMISSION

Both are usually contracted via parenteral contact with infectedbodyfluids.Commontransmissionmodesincludeinfected blood or blood products and invasive medical procedures with contaminated equipment. But hepatitis cannot be contracted via casual contact or by sharing food and drinks. Both disorders can also be transmitted by sharing needles with an infected person during drug sessions, tattooing or piercing with infected tools, and sharing razors or toothbrushes with the infected person.

Drugs, tattoos and casual unprotected sex are therefore best avoided.

But the greatest danger arises from unsafe injection practices. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 12 billion injections are administered annuallyglobally—fivepercentduringimmunizationsand95percent for curative reasons. With needle and syringe reuse and other unsafe injection practices common in low-income countries, both health-care personnel and patients are vulnerable to blood-borne viruses. As per estimates, unsafe injection practices may be responsible for up to 160,000 HIV cases, 16 million HPB and 4.7 million HPC infections globally.

Such transmissions are also endemic in India. In February this year, at Ratia town, Fatehabad district, Haryana, more than1,600confirmedcasesofHPCwerereported inanoutbreak caused by doctors and dentists reusing syringes and needles. In February 2009, at Modasa, Sabarkantha district, Gujarat, one of India’s deadliest outbreaks of HPB —593confirmedcasesand94deaths—wastriggeredby the ignorance and greed of private practitioners reusing infected syringes. Investigations after recent outbreaks have revealed that many health-care personnel consider it safe to reuse a syringe just by changing the needle. It is also considered safe to reuse injection equipment to access an intravenous line as well as reuse this on the same patient when reconstituting from a multi-dose vial, even without sterilization.

ADVISORY NOT IMPLEMENTED

Moreover, apart from doctors and nurses, injections are administered by a variety of health-care workers, including peons, cleaners and scavengers, as recent exposés on news channels have shown. The problems of unsafe injection habits are further compounded by the large-scale practice of repackaging and reselling sharps waste in India.

These practices also jeopardize the likely health gains from children’s immunization programmes. With unsafe injection practices, children can be particularly endangered during immunizations. This is why the WHO recommends that auto-disable syringes be used in all immunization projects.



The policy faces great hurdles in India as State governments have not implemented the Central government’s 2008 advisory to Governors and State Health Ministries about introducing auto-disable syringes for all injections to prevent the reuse of injection equipment. Although auto-disable syringes are being used for national immunization programmes, most States have not implemented the policy for curative injections.

India has been prone to periodic outbreaks of Hepatitis B and C. To break this vicious cycle, mandatory safety

norms are needed in all public and private health-care facilities. Stringent prevention of unsafe injection practices is the best way to ensure India stops periodic outbreaks of hepatitis epidemics. In the ultimate analysis, safe injection practices could immensely improve patient safety and minimize the disease burden from chronic infections that regularlyafflictIndia’smostvulnerablesections.

Dear Friends

Greetings from IAP PALS group

By-stander CPR is a well-known intervention that improves the outcome of Sudden Cardiac Arrest in an individual. Most cases of Sudden Cardiac Arrest do not get this kind of timely help and precious lives are lost. The awareness of this simple, easily learnable skill is very important for our society to help improve the outcome of this otherwise doomed condition. With the current evidence suggesting that chest compressions alone may alsobebeneficial insuchsituations, theskillbecomesmoresimplified.

The common man is becoming more and more aware of the latest advances. This has led to the easy availability ofasimpletouseAED-AutomatedExternalDefibrillatorin public places like the market places, malls, railway stations,airportsandoffices in thewest. In Indiaalso,we are moving in this direction. Many such instruments have been installed in airports and some of the metro stations in Delhi. I am sure this step is being taken up by other regions also.

The IAP PALS group is a 250 plus strong group of dedicated Paediatricians across the country equipped to train individuals in these skills. The track record of our group is well known over the past two decades. Since the last three years our group has been actively training doctors as well as the lay persons alike the art and science of BLS through the IAP BLS project of our group. Weareprovidingcertificatecourses through the IndianAcademy of Pediatrics.

This year we have initiated a Mass Awareness Project where inveryshortduration(about twohours)weare

able to impart training in BLS and AED use to large group of gathering. The first program of this kindwasconducted at Hyderabad at Mahaveer Hospital, Recently we conducted two of these programs at Delhi. One at Chacha Nehru Bal Chikitsalya, Geeta Colony, for the attendants of the children admitted in the hospital, as well as the paramedic staff of the hospital. About hundred and twenty persons were give hands on training in BLS and AED use and it was a great success.

The other one was at IMA East Delhi Bhawan for friends and families of paediatricians, general practitioners as well as members from the pharmaceutical industry. Members of PALS group have taken up this activity and conducted similar workshops in other parts of the country too.

In addition the IAP PALS group also provides training to interested and capable individuals to become trainers for this program.

The members of the IAP can become part of this trainer manpower by enrolling in the BLS workshop in the forthcoming Pedicon 2013 at Kolkota. You can register at the PEDICON 2013 website. Dr Srabani Chakrabarti is the coordinator for this course or else write to me at my personal email id mentioned below.

You may talk to me also at my mobile number mentioned

• DR. JAIN MAHAVEER PRASAD (HARYANA)

Dear fellow IAPians,

Greetings from the millennium city of Gurgaon.

It is a matter of great pleasure for me to communicate with you as a Presidential candidate in the forthcoming elections. Having done my Graduation and Post – Graduation from SMS Medical College Jaipur, I have been involved in active clinical practice for the past 20 years.

Those of my fellow colleagues who were present during Pedicon 2012, I am sure, would vouch for my organizational capabilities. During this Jumbo event many pioneering ideas were implemented. The idea of Public PrivatePartnership(BetweenIAP,andGovt.ofIndiaalongwith the international agencies) was pioneered duringthis event. An expert committee meeting on encephalitis was held, the recommendations regarding diagnostic and treatment modalities are about to reach you. Similar, committees need to be formed for other major national problems and policies. The idea of E- Posters, CME’s for PG’s and CME on “Doctors as an Entrepreneur” were held and received great accolades.

Having been a member of the finance committee. I understand our financial compulsions and aspirations.The dependence of our academic body on grants and sponsorships from pharmaceutical industry needs a fresh look in the changing scenario of newer legislations and our mindset.

We need to further the concept of science, resource and our needs, as the basic fundamentals for deciding vaccination protocols.

IAP programmes and activities need to be targeted and centered around members at the peripheral level along with the major metropolis. Sub – specialty chapters need to be motivated and guided to reach the periphery.

IAP today need a leader who is an able administrator, understands financial management, can foster greaterbrotherhood, steer the academic excellence in the right direction and make IAP more visible in Public.

Dear friends I have prepared a future roadmap for a strong IAP which would stand as a statutory body of Academic excellence, and would guide fellow professionals, society

and Govt. of India, to better child healthcare.

I seek your blessings, guidance and support in the forthcoming elections for Presidents post to realize this dream.

My Dear Member,

Season’s Greetings to you and your family.

I am immensely pleased to write you this letter with bondage of friendship and brotherhood. My untiring passion has always been working for the child welfare activity through the platform of our beloved organization IAP.

I have the privilege of serving the academy for last 3 decades, in various capacities as National Vice President, Chair Person of Neonatology and Infectious Diseases chapters. My deep contribution to the adolescent chapter and IAP committee on Immunization are well recognized.

As you are also aware that I was personally associated in conducting 4 National conferences “Pedicons” held at Hyderabad from 1980 to 2010 and several other Central IAP Programs successfully organized at Hyderabad.

I have been a professor and teacher till today for many Pediatricians in this part of the country. My work in conducting several community programs for child health has given me good encouragement, team building and recognition.

With this rich blend of experience and successful responsibilities, I am re-seeking your wholehearted support and advocacy for my candidature as President Elect — 2013 from the state of Andhra Pradesh, which



has richly contributed for well being of IAP and deserves its turn to get IAP President Post.

I shall assure transparency, democracy and accountability and work with dedication counting on each member’s expectations and aspiration in conducting IAP.

I have vision to strengthen the members participation and infuse academic programs for young pediatricians by establishing “IAP Institute of Academics” which would handle higher learning programs for young members and coordinate training programs through this channel.

I have plans to liaison with the reputed universities abroad, and organize member exchange programs to update and acquire knowledge and skills.

I would further strengthen the existing child health activities and programs for practicing Pediatricians to the remote peripheral branches with reach out to preach at their areas.

To further consolidate IAP family benefit scheme making it more attractive and inviting to members by making it more family welfare oriented.

To focus and plan programs and modules on core issues of the children of our country like malnutrition, child neglect and abuse and gigantic issues of girl child.

It’s my promise that I shall deliver what I am promising and seek your valuable inputs to further strengthen my vision to lead IAP.

With warm regards,

Yours in academic service,

(M. Indra Shekhar Rao)

I was waging Lone battle since 2009 to organize the MEET with ALL District Presidents & Secretaries at the National Conference Level to propagate the Camaraderie in IAP to Grass Root level & became a Reality when Dr. Rohit Agrawal convened the meet at Gurgaon on side lines of PEDICONforthefirsttimeintheHistoryofIAP.

My pressure to see Every EB member deserving his shareinScientificActivitiesinPEDICONgotfulfilledwhenPresident Elect honored my list.

I sat on hunger strike at Gurgaon EB till above demands conceded.

FBS scheme got extension on my representation.

I was one among in grabbing the bid to host APPA at Hyderabad amid tight competition from Metros.

Friends, I am an Activist bent upon achieving & firmbeliever in advocacy.

Hence I request all of you to see a seasoned member at the helm of affairs in our supreme Body.

In 1990, after completing our senior residency, my wife and I set out to follow our ambition of making expertise available at the lowest strata. We set up a Pediatric indoor unit in a not-so privileged colony of Central Delhi. Recognizing sincere efforts, I was nominated as Member, Central Adoption Resource Authority followed by Member, NationalCommissionforProtectionofChildRights(fromNov’10 – Jun’12),an institution mandated to safeguardthe rights of India’s 40 million children. This opportunity enabled me to visualize development issues from both clinician’s and child rights perspective. It clearly indicated that to provide children with optimum development, we need to entrust the expert pediatrician fraternity with monitoring of recommended policies.

Therefore, I commit to strive for-

• Smoother communication between State and central IAP

• Interactive platform for Delhi IAPians to deliberate

• Greater share of projects allotment to Delhi

• Strengthening existing medico-legal support system for members

• IAP representation on the child health monitoring panels at all levels

Thanks, Dear Pediatricians, for giving me opportunity to

work for IAP in 2012, Dil se…

In journey of my work as an EB member, I tried my level besttofulfillalmostallpromisesinmyagendawithutmostsincerity & honesty. Few of them are-

More teaching modules for branches in rural area, Insisted for 70% of TOTs and workshops at district level.

• Equal distribution of programs in urban and rural area,

• Allocation of more workshops in MS & Goa,

• Representation of Goa in EB,

• Funds for charitable projects for children,

• More emphasis on neglected but important issue- ‘Parenting ‘.

I’m happy to inform -‘almost’ all demands were sanctioned by IAP in one way or other. Goa representation in EB is pending due to technical problems. I will try hard for this demand of Goa IAPians.

Few of the other issues I insisted are: Growth charts, project for children of rural & tribal area & many more.

All correspondence in this regard is available with me and I can forward, if somebody needs.

Contesting for the second time, as one year time is insufficient to fulfill my incomplete dreams & yourexpectations. PLEASE VOTE.

Is the epitome of the grass root IAPian who form the vast majority of IAP, who are neither working in a major city nor in a teaching hospital, yet yearning to serve IAP.

As Secretary was the first to form a district (Coalfield)branch in WB in 1990.Over the years organized various CME / Symposia at Asansol where a large number of luminaries including numerous Presidents of CIAP delivered lectures. Way back in 2007 initiated the firstWebsite in WB for a State Conference.

After the extremely successful Pedicon at Asansol, procuredafullyfurnishedIAPflatwhereregularacademicmeetings are organized.

Basically a team player. As President of the CoalfieldBranch developed a core group of Pediatricians, who are carrying forward the good work, making it the most vibrant branch of WBAP.

Aspires to be the voice of all Pediatricians of WB with special empathy for the unheard IAPians.

Implementation of electronic voting in IAP elections

CIAP E-voting

Dear IAP Colleagues,

For the past several years, we have witnessed dissatisfaction of IAP members and those contesting in IAP elections with the posting of paper ballots, the security arrangements at the election office, the very process ofelection, and the results of elections. Last several elections results have led to the setting of IAP election tribunal to investigate complaints of irregularities and to settle disputes.Theelectionof2011(for2012)witnesseduglyscenesattheelectioncommissioner’sofficeandleadtoaPolice complaint. In view of the above disturbances, several AP members have suggested the trial and implementation of electronic voting in IAP elections, and the members of last IAP election commission strongly endorsed that view.

Taking cognisance of the general sentiment, the IAP executive board of January 2012 constituted a four - member committee to study e voting in great detail and look at the successful e voting process that is adopted by some other professional medical bodies. This committee led by Dr. Ramesh Goyal of Gurgaon, prepared a system for e voting that was presented to the IAP Executive board in June 2012. There were questions to be answered, issues to be addressed, members to be convinced and the devised system to be updated.

A second and updated demonstration of the procedure will be done before the Executive board of IAP in October by Dr. Ramesh Goyal and the Hon Secretary General for a secondandfinalcriticalanalysis.Aperiodof1.5hoursisproposed to be allotted to this agenda in the forthcoming IAP EB meeting. Questions will be answered, doubts will be addressed, and the feasibility of an actual ‘test run’ of this new system in a city or state level election will be considered.

A script of the process of e voting has been prepared painstakingly and meticulously, to explain the steps involved, along with screen shots of the computer, by Dr. Ramesh Goyal. The process appears secure, and fool proof, and will obviate the malpractice of paper ballot collection. All members of IAP are requested to spend adequate time in studying about this process and send to CIAP you comments, and queries. This process which has worked successfully for other medical bodies will be implemented

for IAP elections IF endorsed as a better option that paper ballot voting by IAP EB and IAP GB. Therefore do peruse the following documents diligently and send in your thoughts. Implementation of this system will also require appropriate amendment to the constitution of IAP, which step can be taken in the Special General Body meeting scheduled to be held during Pedicon 2013 at Kolkata.

In the last issue of Academy Today, Dr. Ramesh Goyal had provided a broad outline of the process of e-voting. He now provides the actual stepwise process. You are requested to evaluate the process with a keen and critical eye to look for all possible flaws, which can be corrected to makethe system as fool proof and perfect, as humanely and technically possible.

The Basic requirements for the e-voting system are either the internet or the mobile phone. An appeal is being made to ALL members of IAP to PROACTIVELY send their email Ids and / or mobile phone numbers to central IAP office on the email, [email protected], or through sms with your complete name and CIAP membership number, to 09819042213.Your cooperation is insistently solicited.

Sincerely

Honorary Secretary General

Dear members of Indian Academy of Pediatrics.

Many of you may be unaware of the genesis of our glorious Organization and may not have seen the certificate ofregistration of Indian Academy of Pediatrics as a Society, with the authorities in Greater Mumbai, by a group of members that belonged to different States of India.

In the following pages we share with you a set of documentsofhistoricalsignificancefromthearchivesofIAPCentraloffice,whichchroniclethecreationofIAP,andcontainthecertificateofregistrationalongwithalistofthefounder members of IAP.

These members too hail from all regions of India,

thereby signifying the All India Character of our mother Organization, which turns 50 in 2013.

These historical documents put to rest doubts that have sometimes been raised about the Pan India Character of IAP. Our organization traverses the length and breadth of India, and boasts of 20200 plus members from ALL regions of the country.

IAP belongs to each one of us, and we should all take great pride in its growth, and maturation.

Dr. Sailesh GuptaHon. Secretary General IAP 2012-13

Genesis of IAP



Dear Valued members of IAP,

It is perceived and often expressed that positions of administrative importance in IAP are also positions of ‘unfair influence’ on the outcomes of IAP elections. While, perceptions will vary, from person to person, and ‘unfair’ advantage should indeed not be enjoyed by any member of IAP, viz a viz another, positions of leadership in IAP will unintentionally always be in the spotlight, because they are positions of decision-making and policy-making for the entire organization.

Traditionally, the positions in IAP administration, considered influential, have been four - The Honorary Secretary General, the editors of the two Journals of IAP viz. IP and IJPP, and the Organizing Secretary (or Secretaries) of IAP’s National Conference. However, with the welcome process of decentralization, we now have several new important offices outside the three IAP offices mentioned in IAP’s constitution, and these include the two Publication Houses (Gwalior,and Indore), IAPDrug formularyoffice(Kochi),IAPNRPFGMoffices(GandhidhamandMeerut),andIAPFBSoffice(Hyderabad).

Whether these positions of responsibility do indeed exert a verygreatinfluenceonanIAPvoter’smind,maybecomeapparent from an analysis of IAP election trends, voting trends and trends of elections results. Let me share with you my analysis of IAP election-related data, that was retrieved from thearchivesof IAPoffice. Itwillmake foran interesting read.

From amongst the Presidents of IAP from the year 1964 to the year 2013 -

• 1 out of the 4 editors of IJPP (excluding theincumbenteditor)waselectedPresident

• 3 out of the 4 editors of IJPP did not contest IAP elections

If we look at the winning margins of Presidents of IAP from 1998,theyearfromwhichIAPofficehasrecordofthe number of votes attracted by the winning candidate, wefind-

• For 1998 - Out of 4 candidates, the winner secured 53% of the popular vote, and while not being a past holder of any administrative position of purported influenceinIAP,whereastheleastpolledcandidatesecured 13% of the popular vote

• For 1999 - A past Secretary General of IAP raced to the winning post by securing 63% of the votes, while a past IAP conference organizing Secretary polled 25% of the total votes, and the third candidate (whowas a candidate in 1998 also) finished 3rdwith 11% of the votes being cast in his favor

• For 2000 - both contestants had not held purportedly influential IAP administrative positions in the past,and this year saw an increase in the number of votes cast by a margin of 23% as compared to the previous year.

• For 2002 - Out of the 3 contestants, one was a past Editor of IP and another a past Secretary General of IAP. The Past Editor won by polling 43% of the total votes cast, which were 22% more that the number of votes cast in the previous year. The winning candidate polled 50% more votes than the past SecretaryGeneral,whofinished2nd.

• For 2003 - Out of the three contestants, a Past SecretaryGeneralonceagainfinished2nd,polling7% less number of votes than the winning candidate, who had never held an IAP administrative position, and polled 48% of the total popular vote. The candidatewhofinished3rdreceived7%ofthetotalvotes. This year saw 80 votes less being cast by IAP members as compared to the year 2002.

• For 2004 - five candidates were in the fray, onebeing a past IAP conference organizing secretary and the other four being those that had never held anadministrativepositionofpurportedinfluenceinIAP. The total number of votes cast were the highest since 1998, and 10% more than the number of votes cast in the previous year. The past IAP conference



organizing secretary finished 4th in the race and polled 15.4% of the popular vote, while the winning candidate polled 28% of the votes, ahead of the 2nd positioned candidate by 182 votes, which candidate incidentally was placed 3rd in the previous year’s election, with7% of the popular vote.

• For 2005 - A Past Secretary General was contesting elections against an IAP member who had not held anyadministrativepositionofpurportedinfluenceinIAP in the past. The total number of votes cast by IAP were 5% less as compared to the previous year. The Past Secretary general was elected President with 59% of the popular vote

• For 2006 - A past Editor of IP was amongst four candidates, the other three never having held any of the three administrative positions of purported influence in IAP. This year saw IAPcast7%morenumber of votes as compared to the year 2004. The percentage of votes polled by the four candidates in descending order were 30.5%, 28.5%, 22.5% and 18%. The past journal editor finished2nd, polling 2% less popular vote than the winner.

• For 2007 - Three candidates were in the fray. One was the past organizing secretary of IAP National conference, and one was contesting IAP elections for the 3rd time. The past organizing secretary polled 28%ofthepopularvoteandfinished3rd, whereas the third time contestant emerged the winner with 38% votes cast in his favor.

• For 2008 - A past Journal Editor, and a past IAP conference organizing secretary were in the race alongside two IAP members who had not held any administrativepositionofpurportedinfluenceinIAP,to be the President of IAP.

The Editor won with 59% of the popular vote, polling 188% more votes that thecandidatewhofinished2nd.Thepastorganizingsecretary finished4th with 7% of popular vote. A Special Purpose Committee to Review IAP Election 2009 proceedings was formed.

• For 2009 - This year saw the most dismal voting

by IAP members since 2000, only 70 votes more than in the year 1999. A past Secretary General raced to the winning post with 48% of the popular vote, ahead of the 2nd positioned candidate by 74% of votes. The closely finishing3rd candidate who polled 24% of the popular vote as compared to 28% polled by the 2nd positioned candidate, was a past Organizing Secretary of IAP’s National conference. An election tribunal was constituted.

• For 2010 - None of the four candidates in the contest had heldapositionofpurportedinfluencein the administration of IAP. While two candidates were repeaters, two were new candidates. IAP’s voting improved over the previous year’s by 11.5%. In a closely contested election, the winner polled 29% of the popular vote, while the 2nd and 3rd placed candidates won 27.5% and 27% of the popular vote respectively, the difference in absolute numbers between 11 votes. An election tribunal was constituted.

This years voting performance of IAP members improved by 220 absolute number of votes as compared to the year before the last one, but fell by 186 absolute number of votes as compared to the previous year. The past Secretary General won by polling 32% of the popular vote, whereas the immediately next placed contestant polled 30.5% of the total votes. The past organizing secretary polled 16% of the popularvoteandfinishedlast. An election tribunal was constituted.

• For 2012 - an unprecedented number of 7 candidates vied for the top position in IAP. Only one was a past Organizing Secretary of IAP National conference, while the other six had not held any of the three administrative positions in IAP with purportedinfluence.Thepastorganizingsecretary,as in the previous year polled the least number of votes, 5% of the total. The winning candidate won 31.5% of the popular vote, ahead of the 2nd placed



candidate by 48% votes, who polled 21% of the total votes, while the 3rd placed candidate polled 16% of the popular vote. This year saw the best upward trend in IAP voting, 48% more than in the previous year and the best since 1998, at 5704 votes being cast. An election tribunal was constituted.

Every member of IAP may draw their own conclusions from the above mentioned statistics, but it appears that IAP has never elected her Presidents from amongst those holding positions of purported influence, but from amongst individuals with visible merit, and which is a heart warming conclusion. IAP is doing alright.
