As India celebrates the Republic Day, we are proud of its many achievements and leaders in its history. For one day let us be united in this celebration, though we are so diverse in language, culture, religion just to name a few.
We have been preparing for our 1st IKANS-89 project of adopting and helping the patients who seek care at the Surgical Oncology unit, in the Govt Royapettah Hospital. Our plan is to install 2 A/C units in the post operative ward at this unit. The inauguration will happen on 13th Feb , 2010 when a workshop in Gynaec-Oncology is being conducted by the department. The Tamil Nadu state Health Minister and Health Secretary are invited to this event and are likely to be involved in the inauguration of the A/C.
The Medical Superintendent is very pleased about our participation and the hospital is also going to initiate some improvement measures to the ward , like changing windows and doors to optimise the A/C effect.
You can expect IKAN89 banners and photographs etc. It will be great if other IKANS 89 could join this inauguration. Expect more details on the time and program via email.
The bank account we had during the reunion has been converted, so that 3 members - Vasanthy, Viswanathan and myself can operate this account. Anyone interested in donating , please send money to the following account. Will send yearly statement of accounts and if there are other ways of transparency please let us know.

Sorry Banu, we have to live with it. IKANS- 89 was chosen after some discussion. In 5 years at the next reunion you get to choose the next title.
