I take this opportunity on behalf of members of AIOTA to congratulate Dr. D. Suresh the Organising Secretary & the team and Dr. Pratibha Vaidya, Chairperson of the Scientific Program for their organizational expertise in making this conference a wonderful experience.

Meena is having experience, expertise and enthusiasm to organize it as an international event to commemorate the 100 years of OT Profession globally. The conference is aimed to retrospect the glorifying past and our preparations to face the challenges of future. I am confident of a grand OT Meet at Jaipur in 2017, under the dynamic leadership of the Organising Secretary, Dr. S.K. Meena. As a token of love & regard and in recognition of the lifelong dedication in nourishing the profession of occupational therapy in India, AIOTAitself was honored to honor Prof. Mrs. Meera Manik Shahani with the prestigious ‘AIOTA’s Life Time Achievement Award’, in the inaugural session of OTICON’2016 at Chennai on Jan. 30 2016.
