Few branches report their activities online regularly. Branches in Maharashtra & Kerala need special mention in this regard. It is very unfortunate that many branches are electing non members as Office Bearers (both State & City). In many cases they are inactive members are elected as Office bearers. GB has approved that only active members belonging to that City / State Branch only can become Office Bearer of that Branch. But, many cases this is not followed and corrected in spite of calling and telling. Grant in Aid or Branch share was disbursed to all State Branches who have submitted their annual report and audited accounts. ISA sponsored CMEs / Workshops were conducted at Haldwani, Jammu, Madikeri, Raipur, Eluru, Vizayanagaram, Thanjavoor, Bhubaneshwar & ISA PG Assemblies at Malappuram (SZ), Lucknow (CZ), Cuttack (EZ) and they were really good.
