Session: 02/2013 Date: 03/03/2013
Members of Andhra Pradesh chapter, IIMCAA joined in the 2nd meeting of this year in HUDA Park, Vanasthalipuram, Hyderabad on 3rd March 2013 at 10am.
The meeting decided to open a joint account in the name of the treasurer and an active member in any bank or post office to save the membership fees and donations conveniently.
The follow up of how far we have realized the plans of the last meeting was done. The members suggested valuable ideas to work on. The meeting decided to address each and every idea one by one.
The members suggested for organizing a workshop on Web Journalism, online media and ethics in which IIMCians and interested journalists and students of different universities can be the beneficiaries. Our member Suchitra Pattnaik (Asst. Prof in Department of Journalism and communication under Central University, Hyderabad) will organize to select the venue in the university campus. Preferably this will be conducted in two sessions- one for journalists and resource persons and another for the students of the university. Along with her, Byomakesh Biswal and Rajesh Parida have taken the responsibility of contacting the resource persons who will share their perceptions and convictions in that field. Some of the IIMCians who they are working in web media will also share their valuable experiences. This workshop will be organized tentatively on 14th April 2013. Information regarding the resource persons and venue will be passed on as soon as it will be decided.
In this session, the members of the chapter were overwhelmed to hear the experiences of Connections’13 held in New Delhi from Rajesh Parida. The souvenirs were distributed among the present members and some of them were sent to the absent members.
The members of A.P. Chapter felicitated the only Campus Wale Couple (CWC) Rudranarayan Das and Suchismita Moharana. Thanks to the IIMCians who they imagined and made it a reality taking from Dil to Delhi. The photos snapped during every important moment have been sent to the national chapter.
It was decided that the membership form will be sent to all the known members and they will forward it to all IIMCians in A.P. they know. The membership drive will be accelerated and very soon all the duly filled forms will be sent to the national chapter as per the rules.
This may be the last but not the least, the members enjoyed the lunch prepared specially by the IIMCians like Bibhu Prasad Barik and Rabinarayan Samal. Every member thanked them for this.
