It was also recalled that, an amount of Rs. 50,000-00 for cash/book prizes and Rs. 1,00,000-00 for any medals, was fixed in the general body meeting held at Vizag conference. Members felt that , as the cost of the medals (gold and silver) is raising, the raised amount is needed. For the prizes already instituted, the donors will be contacted if they can contribute any extra amount to their prizes. Three
new proposals for prizes by Dr. Satyavani, Dr. P. Sreenivasulu Reddy and Dr. Apparao, for the prizes in the Free
paper category under various sections (like Mycology , Virology, Immunology etc). They were advised to submit
the proposals with guidelines and exact sections under which the prizes are
being proposed.
5. Number Of Judges For Prize Paper Sessions :
Dr. Nagamani , Professor and Head of Gandhi Medical College, proposed that three
judges are needed for all the prize
category presentations to avoid any issue of bias. The members accepted the
proposal. She also proposed that the biodata of the donors (or in whose name
the prize was instituted), shall be read
before the respective prize session. So far, it is being done only for Dr.
K.Rajyalakshmi Memorial Oration. It is accepted to extend the honor to all
other prize categories.
6. Representation to increase the faculty
number in medical colleges : All the members unanimously agreed to submit a
representation to national body and MCI regarding the need for increase in the
faculty position as the microbiology faculty are involved in various activities
like IDSP, HIV Testing , SRLs, CD4, viral load assays etc under NACO to cite
few. The existing faculty, who are already in the teaching and hospital
diagnostics are overburdened if only MCI minimum requirements are considered.
Hence, there is a need for increase in the faculty and a representation to that
effect shall be submitted to MCI and
National body of IAMM.
7. The present executive body is completely
dissolved and a new executive body is formed with a consensus in the general
body meeting.

was proposed that the vice-president
post shall be given to the organising secretary of the next conference

P.Shashikala Reddy, Professor and HOD of Microbiology of Osmania Medical
College is the new vice-president.
