Dear friends and respected seniors, I personally thank you all for your excellent help and support you have provided me during my tenure as Honorary state secretary 2018- 19. Remarkable is the support I had from my two Presidents who taught me the nuances of administration, the skill of negotiation and the ability to understand the intricacies of association issues. My next show of gratitude goes to my treasurer, and joint secretary who were always willing to lend a helping hand. Here I have to mention that my finance secretary helped me to be vigilant and was instrumental in detecting the forgery in signatures which went a long way in the investigation of the misappropriation of funds. I will be failing in my duty if I don’t thank the office bearers of the wings and schemes who were the wheels of the administration vehicle. My special thanks goes to the Presidents and Secrataries of various branches of IMA Tamil Nadu who always responded as one person to my various official communications and administrative requests. I might have hurt some of you during the discharge of my duty as HSS,; I request you to forgive me as a brother. I had nothing but the welfare of the association only in my mind. Last but not the least let me thank my office staff both in Chennai and Karaikudi who did a marvelous job in spite of initial hiccups.

November 2019 TIMA News Letter 10 “On this International Day, let us reaffirm our commitment to work together for a better world that is inclusive, equitable and sustainable for everyone, where the rights of people with disabilities are fully realized.” — António Guterres, UN Secretary-General. The annual observance of the International Day of Disabled Persons was proclaimed in 1992, by the United Nations General Assembly resolution 47/3. It aims to promote the rights and well-being of persons with disabilities in all spheres of society and development, and to increase awareness of the situation

of persons with disabilities in every aspect of political, social, economic and cultural life. Building on many decades of UN’s work in the field of disability, the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, adopted in 2006, has further advanced the rights and well-being of persons with disabilities in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and other international development frameworks, such as the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, the Charter on Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in Humanitarian Action, the New Urban Agenda, and the Addis Ababa Action Agenda on Financing for Development. Empowering persons with disabilities and ensuring inclusiveness and equality.

November 2019 TIMA News Letter 11 This year’s theme focused on empowering persons with disabilities for an inclusive, equitable and sustainable development as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The 2030 Agenda pledges to “leave no one behind”. Persons with disabilities, as both beneficiaries and agents of change, can fast track the process towards inclusive and sustainable development and promote resilient society for all, including in the context of disaster risk reduction and humanitarian action, and urban development. Governments, persons with disabilities and their representative organisations, academic institutions and the private sector need to work as a “team” to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This year, the UN Secretary-General launched on the Day a flagship report, entitled ”UN Flagship Report on Disability and Development | 2018 – Realizing the SDGs by, for and with persons with disabilities”.

We have our Finance Standing Committee meeting and FSS Management Committee meeting and our Annual General Body meeting slated to be held at Kumbakonam IMA Hall on 9th and 10th of November 2019. The 24th due of FSS I is almost near completion. About 400 members yet to pay. I request our MC Members and leaders to coordinate and help us in completing this task of collection at the earliest. The 2nd due of FSS II is progressing smoothly. As of October 31st 2019, we have given death claims to 60 Families and we have 2 more months to go. This has necessitated the 25th Due of FSSI to be proposed to 70 deaths, i.e. Rs.14,000/-. To give some Health Benefit to senior members of FSS above 80 years of age, we have proposed to give benefit to the tune of amount paid by them as advance amount so far. The modalities are being worked out. I am sure with your cooperation and guidance; this unique, noble scheme will touch greater heights. Thanking You, Yours in IMA service - Dr. V. Madhavan, Secretary, FSS, IMA TNSB
