However new student branches are formed and new members are added every year  Involvement of members in section activities not as per expectation  Increased participation of section volunteers in national and international committees  Nominating deserving volunteers of the section for IEEE awards and recognitions

C.4 Best Practices of your Section  Active student branches

 Active participation of local students in IEEE activities

PART D – GOALS AND PLANS

D.1 Goals

 Retention of existing members through membership development programs like elevation to Senior Member grade, recognizing the efforts of active members by awarding them citations or personalized plaques.  Increasing activities of section by arranging more lecture meetings, not necessarily technical but also on public affairs, professional activities, educational trips for students to nearby industries.  To spread the message of IEEE within Kolkata Section jurisdiction.

D.2 Implementation Plans

 To organize one day program involving all Branch Counsellors from all student branches.

IEEE KOLKATA SECTION 24

 To organize programme involving students and also Student Paper Contest. Student paper contest was not arranged this year. But "Technological Innovation Award for Students 2015" was organized. Membership development programme was organized in different Institutions.
