Dr. C.R. Srinivas
Dear Friends,
You asked me to navigate this ship on a set course for one long year.
Our team has worked on this task with enthusiasm.
The first MID-DERMACON was hosted at Hyderabad .The meeting has eased the financial commitment towards Central Council meeting.
MID- DERMACON, which will be executed by Special Interest Groups ( SIG) will provide opportunity for smaller cities to host national level
meeting. Its future directions will be planned by Special Operation Procedure (SOP) which will be in place soon.
IADVL has many state branches and if any one state branch faces problems and is not functioning as it should, then we should help find a
solution. A designer agreement has been arrived by mutual consent by the MP branch and hopefully the branch will grow stronger in the
days to come. Our team along with local team has worked hard to make this happen.
Therapeutic guidelines will be available soon and this project has involved many members to actively contribute to IADVL activity.
GSK Quiz has been decentralized and CITICON has been empowered at the state level.
You will soon receive a year planer. Use it well.
If you now ask me, "Srini, tell me one thing which has happened during this tenure and makes you most happy," my answer is, "the invitation
for projects by the ACADEMY for funding."
Dear friend, we have weathered few storms but have managed to stay on course and IADVL has a bright future.

IADVL is undergoing great transformation under our visionary president Dr CR Srinivas ,active secretary Dr PN Rao and enthusiastic
executive. Our secretary is already in control of all the activities of IADVL. He has worked laboriously to organize a very successful first
MIDDERMACON. The central council meeting organised alongwith was able to solve all the pending problems. The publication of
Undergraduate Text book of Dermatology is a real honour for IADVL .Initiation of activities in some of the IADVL projects like SIG groups,
SOP committee, Therapeutic Guidelines Committee, Dermatology Atlas ,E voting, IADVL directory is heartening . Many more schemes for
the benefit of members are in the offing. International conferences like SARAD meet and ICD being organised in India will further lift the
image of Indian dermatology
Lets keep the destiny away .Invoke the limitless thinking from within and conquer the limiting /destructive thought pattern. We all should
work with the aim of doing the best with what we have. This will greatly help the organization in its evolution.
IADVL News is a true mouth piece of IADVL so please go through it carefully and be updated. Member's involvement and suggestion are

Dear IADVLites,
It is my pleasure to write a message for the August Issue of IADVL News 2012.
IADVL
NEWS
The memories of recently concluded IADVL CC meet and the first ever MID DERMACON CME & Workshop are still fresh, I take this
opportunity to congratulate Dr. Rao, Dr. Murthy and Team AP IADVL for the successful organization of the maiden venture. SIG
Dermatosurgery also deserves special mention and appreciation for meticulous planning, co-ordination and execution of the CME &
Workshop. The smooth and immaculate conductance of the central council & special general body meet by our vibrant President Dr.
Srinivas is exemplary and puts forward a new path to follow.
It is indeed heartening to see the mix of seniors and juniors alike at such important meets, suggests the concern and love for our
organization. The unity and mutual respect are the corner stone for efficient working of any organization and I feel relaxed to witness the
same. I appreciate the systematic and tactical approach followed by Dr. Srinivas and the Vice-President in handling the MP issue. The
recently held symposium on “Leadership, Entrepreneurship and clinical Management in Dermatology” by Dr. Venkatram Mysore and Dr.
Chandrasekhar at Bangalore was an much required workshop for today's dermatologists. We all should join our hands and strive together
to promote our organization and thus bring dermatology on the pinnacle of glory and success in the coming years.
I welcome all to participate in first exclusive nail conference “Onychocon” in Bangalore.
Long live IADVL
Warm Regards

Dear members,
Greetings from IADVL secretariat.
IADVL
From The Desk Of Organising Committee NEWS
The first six months of my office has been a busy and eventful affair with regards to activities of IADVL. The EC meeting at Coimbatore was
conducted on 28th and 29th of April 2012 successfully following which Mid Derma CC meet was held at Hyderabad on 14th and 15th July,
2012. The first ever combined meet of CC Mid DERMA meet along with 1st MID DERMACON CME & workshop at Hyderabad can be termed
as a success, both in terms of logistics involved as well as in the feasibility of conduct of both events together. The MID DERMACON CME &
workshop which was attended by more than 300 delegates from all over India was well appreciated. I owe my thanks to the national and
regional faculty for the help and cooperation extended in conduct of these events.
This year IADVL is participating in the EADV Prague 2012 meet by hosting a sister society meeting on 26th of September and more than a
dozen participants have already confirmed their participation. More members are welcome to participate.
The new initiative of informing about of activities of IADVL to its members through bulk SMS was started 3 months back. However, only up
to 3000 members are receiving them at present as mobile phone numbers of the all the members is not available with our office. With the
publication of new IADVL member directory (which under preparation), mobile numbers of more members would be available in future.
One more issue we are need to tackle is of problem of wrong addresses of our members. About 1000 IADVL news booklets have come
back to us due to his problem. We seek cooperation of state IADVL offices in correcting these and providing updated addresses.
Now we are at the second part of the year and elections of new office bearers is going to take place. IADVL seeks your active participation in
the election process. Those of you, who wish to cast their vote through web, please register yourselves for e-voting.
With best wishes and season's greetings,

Dear Colleagues,
I sincerely thank you once again for making maiden Mid-DERMACON a great success.
IADVL
NEWS
As promised earlier we could raise some funds for staging combined Mid Derma CC meet and Mid-DERMACON without chipping a huge
portion from our most valued IADVL funds. Hope in future with proper planning, we will be able to mop up more funds and make Mid Derma
CC meet pay for itself without utilizing IADVL funds.
Since the issue of merger of DERMACON & ICD was solved amicably, we all should focus on making this international meet a grand
success and build confidence in the international community to stage more international conferences in India in future.
Long Live IADVL
With best regards
Yours sincerely

On 28th April, at 2012 EC meet meeting been started and presided by
President Dr. C R Srinivas and Hon Secretary Dr. P. Narasimha Rao
conducted the proceedings. The issues in the agenda taken up and
discussed were as follows.
1. Solution to Madhya Pradesh IADVL problem: Proposal by Dr CR
Srinivas.
Background: There has been lot of discontent between MP IADVL
members and divisions have developed between them based in
regions. Number of complaints were received by IADVL national
body over last two years and Dr Chetan Oberoi and Dr Deepak Parikh
have attempted to bridge these gaps but could not succeed. : Society
or Association is far more important than any individual or place. I
firmly believe that mutually respectful and trustworthy dialogue will
help you resolve this issue. The central IADVL can help by appointing
central observer to convene and preside over the meeting of major
players of MP IADVL. To decide a venue and date if MP members
agree.
Discussion: The EC observed that there are divisions in the MP
IADVL and there is a need to bring them on to one platform and make
then united. Matter discussed for about solving the problem. Various
options were considered including holding elections to MP by central
EC. However, the EC considered appointing a central observer to
preside to convene and bring MP IADVL together. Dr Devesh Mishra,
Vice president of IADVL, volunteered to act as a central EC observer
and promised that he would try his best to bring the all the parties
concerned to the table and try to resolve the MP issue. The EC after
some deliberation has accepted his suggestion and appointed him as
central observer for MP Branch of IADVL and gave him mandate to
proceed with the task.
2. Allocation of DERMACON Venue through ballots:- Proposed by
Dr Suresh Talwar: Dr. Talwar proposed having DERMACON venue
through ballots for 1 year. If is successful then bids it should be next 3
years. Bids for the DERMACON venue should be 2 ½ years in
advance as per norms form various stated IADVL. Name of proposed
city, name of the bidding state, name of the organising secretary,
name of the scientific preferred secretary should be included in the
bids, he suggested. The election officer will prepare a ballot paper for
venue selection having details. Voters can have 1,2,3 choices of
venues. This will be sent in a separate envelope along with ballot
paper envelope and would be dispatched in one common envelope to
the members. Inspection of the venue will be done inspectors if the
1st venue fails preference will be given to 2nd one. Decision: It was
passed unanimously.
3. Zonal activivies of IADVL, involvement of Vice presidents and
Joint secretaries: Proposal by Dr Devesh Mishra. He suggested to
the house that as there are two vice-president/ joint secretaries in
the National EC, they should be involved in zonal activities. Both VPs
and Joint secretaries can look after 4 zones of IADVL and a few states
as the EC decides. He pointed out that such relegation of
responsibility to these EC members is is already there in our IADVL
Constitution, page no. 28. Hence, they should also be have a active
role at state IADVL conferences, elections of CUTICONS, etc..
Expenses if any should be borne by local branches for inviting
president, vice-president, secretary. Decision: It was passed in
principle.
4. All of the elected IADVL executives be given a chair in the front
row during their installation ceremony in the inauguration,
valedictory and other functions of our DERMACON. Proposal by Dr
Devesh Mishra and Dr Torsekhar: At present, the VPs (Two), Joint
Secy. (Two) get only a bouquet. Please give them their a few
moments of glory. That way, their posts get some sanctity and
credibility. I believe that they will share more the ever increasing loads
of IADVL duties and responsibilities. I declare that I am not an
interested party as is obvious as my installation is already over.
It was discussed in detail. Dr. Joshipura said EC members should be
on the dais when installation is going on. If EC recommends only
elected person can be on dais and not the nominated persons. Dr.
Rajeev Sharma opined that when installation of new EC is taking
place the persons who being installed must be there on dais. Once
you are doing valedictory function of IADVL, whole team including
the nominated members can be on the dais. If the number is more,
two rows of chairs should be on the dais, 1st row for the elected
people, 2nd row for nominated and valuable members during
inauguration. Decision: It was passed.

Rao, Dr. Putta Srininivas & Dr. Ramesh Bhat M. (recused himself)
opined in two issues referred to them as follows: Issue 1: Whether
the decision of ABGM to permit Karnataka Branch to host
IADVL
NEWS
DERMACON 2015at Mangalore is valid?” Opinion: The unanimous
opinion of the Constitution Committee is that this decision does not
conform to the provisions under the Constitution of IADVL. The
situation has arisen because of the decision to merge DERMACON
2014 with the ICD. Though this issue has not been specifically
referred to the Committee, the Committee is of the opinion that the
constitutional validity of this decision should be determined by
scrutinizing the minutes of the AGBMs in the Jaipur DERMACON.”
Issue 2: Whether the decision of ABGM for commencing year 2012
to merge ICD and DERMACON 2014 is constitutionally valid?
Opinion: “The unanimous opinion of the Constitution Committee is
that the decision does not conform to the provisions under the
Constitution of IADVL because of the following reasons: Combined
CC & AGBM for commencing year 2011 held on 5th Feb, 2011 at
Gurgaon had resolved against the merger. The minutes of the above
meeting were confirmed by the CC & closing year AGBM held on 9th
Feb, 2012 at Jaipur. As per the IADVL constitution, an international
conference can be combined with DERMACON only in “exceptional
circumstances” and such a situation has not been brought out before
the GB to reverse the decision of the two previous GBs”.
Both issues were put to vote for EC member's opinion: Issue one: 1.
Merger of ICD and DERMACON 2014. Decision: EC passed it
unanimously in favor of merger. Issue 2. Organising of DERMACON
2015 by Karnataka branch of IADVL at Mangalore: Decision:
Passed by majority decision of EC members.
The consequences and reasons of these decisions taken by the EC
against the opinion of Constitution committee was discussed. The
house finally decided to hold an Extra ordinary General body meeting
(EGBM) during MID DERMA CC meet for approval/ratification of its
decisions.
9. ICD Venue issue: Dr. V. K Sharma informed the house regarding
the details of reasons for change of venue from Noida to New Delhi.
He stated that this change of venue has been informed to
international society. IADVL also informed. Hotel Ashok has been
booked which is a large hotel. Near by Samrat hotel complex which
has a capacity 255 rooms - has also been booked. The house pointed
to the fact that maximum capacity of the largest hall is only about
2000 and a larger hall of expected capacity of 4000 delegates need
to be erected if a combined DERMACON and ICD conference is to be
held.
10. SARAD Meet 2015 venue selection: Selection of venue As both
Dr Jayadev Betkerur and Dr P. Narasimha Rao wanted to host 2015
SARAD conference which was allotted to India, during Jaipur
DERMACON 2012, it was decided that it should first get approval
regarding modalities of selection of venue for SARAD meet in India in
EC meet. Taken up at the EC meet. Opinion: Estimation of guest
would be around 1500 members. SARAD meeting will be in
Vol: 8 Issue: 2 14
August 2012
November Month. It should not be combined with national
conference, as per the decision of SARAD's GBM. Decision: As more
then one city is contesting to bid for it, the house decided to
announce it for all interested to bid through IADVL news letter and
if more than one bid is made, it should be selected through
national ballot as was proposed for DERMACON venue selection.
11. IADVL-GSK Postgraduate Quiz - Dermacon 2013:
Dr. Ramesh Bhat represented IADVL quiz committee. He stated that
all state CUTICONs will conduct Quiz under the supervision of Central
body with the help of National coordinator, under the IADVL-GSK
banner. Quiz master for the CUTICON should be from different state,
preferably from a different zone. Each zone is combined with two to
three states. Two teams will be selected from each zone. There will be
no zonal quiz this year. National observer will be select quiz master.
Regarding Question bank Quiz master should have freedom to frame
his own questions as long as they are noncontroversial. State level
Preliminary screening test, MCQs covering Correct answer carries (
+`1 )mark. wrong answers (-1/2). Financial implications would be
Rs. 16 Lakhs, which being sponsored by GSK Pharma.
12. IADVL text book UG: Details of the progress of the project by Dr.
Vishalakshi Viswanath. The first edition of IADVL Concise Textbook
of Dermatology has been successfully published Wiley Blackwell.
CD- ROM (MCQ and images), to be completed by March 2012.
Textbook and CD- ROM expected to be released in market in June
2012. Initially, approx. 7500 copies to be published- 4300 copies to
be marketed by CBIS distributors, 3200 to be distributed by Abbot
pharma who are sponsoring them, throughout India. The sponsors
has initially wanted to have their logo on the back cover of the text
book but later withdrew their request. Dr. Shaym Verma suggested to
have a permanent legal advisor for IADVL on the lines of auditor we
already have, for advise on all the legal issues which arise in its
administrative procedures.
13. Indian Dermatology Online Journal (IDOJ) Editor issue:-
Proposal by Dr Shyam Verma. The Editor and team of Indian
Dermatology Online Journal (IDOJ) have completed the term of 3
years. He requested the EC of IADVL to grant him and his team one
more term of 3 year up to 2015. Reasons: IDOJ is a new journal. It is
still in a state of evolution. It is waiting for getting indexed in PubMed.
Many creases are being evened out. We are currently working as a
very cohesive team with a common aim of taking the journal to newer
heights. It would therefore be a good idea if there is no change of
guard for IDOJ for the next term of 3 years to streamline this journal.
Since this journal is new I humbly suggest that all rules and
guidelines that dictate the IJDVL be employed for IDOJ as they are
both official organs of IADVL. Decision: Passed.
14. Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology
IADVL
NEWS
(IJDVL) issues: by Dr. D.M Thappa: Medknow is the publishers of
IJDVL. He opined that IJDVL could generate more revenue by
charging for downloading PDF files. There are new features and it
make it compactable for IPAD. In India will be free. In outside India it
will be chargeable.
29th April, 2012: EC meeting session 2
15. Request for participation of IADVL EC in a press conference
along with L'Oreal grant team in India: Proposal of L'oreal: There is
an upcoming jury meeting in India of L'oreal along with IADVL and it
would be the third year of the grant program. L'oreal would like to
seize the opportunity of the jury meeting and of IADVL presence as
scientific and dermatology experts along with the presence of L'Oreal
scientific experts, for a press conference dedicated to the
importance of skin research in India. This could give more light on the
sustainable effort of IADVL in supporting more research and will
increase awareness on the grant program. Decision: Sharing the
same stage at a press meet with L'oreal by IADVL is a different matter
altogether from the IADVL -L'oreal grant jury meeting. IADVL EC felt
such a combined press meet may not be ethical and hence not
approved by EC.
16. DERMACON 2013 Progress report by Dr. Ranjan Rawal (Org.
secretary): There is a good progress in the matter of DERMACON
2013 to be held from 24th to 27th January, 2013 at Ahmedabad,

and of IADVL Conferences.
20. International Speakers and Resource Person Database:
Proposal sent by Dr Rashmi Sarkar: Proposal: Every time IADVL
needs to find information on speakers/Resource persons for our
national conferences, we have scarcity of data on them. We choose
the speaker then the subject, rather than the other way round.
Discussion: It was proposed that Dr Rashmi Sarkar and Dr Shyam
Verma should start working on this project of organizing names who
are well known experts in their areas as a ready reference. Make
different headings of important diseases; build up database of
names, sex, department or place, city, country and area of special
interest, also most importantly their emails. Decision: passed.
21. The IADVL Academy report and proposals was presented by it
Convener Dr. Shyamanta Barua. The changes in the structure and
composition of the IADVL Academy and the SIGs were highlighted. It
was also reported that several SIGs are working on preparing
therapeutic guidelines in coordination with the IADVL Therapeutic
Guidelines Committee. In a related matter it was suggested by Dr VK
Sharma that existing guidelines if already present should be modified
and updated where ever possible rather than writing an entirely new
guidelines. Dr CR Srinivas agreed for the suggestion. To the question
whether the Convener can be a Special Interest Groups (SIGs)
member, Dr. Rajeev Sharma suggested that if he is doing well he can
me member of SIG as well.
A. The task of evaluation of the SIGs has been undertaken by the
Academy based on a set of criteria prepared by the Academy and the
IADVL
NEWS
its recommendations would be passed on to the Executive for
continuation/termination/ revamping of each SIG. In this regard, it
was mentioned that reports for evaluation has been received from
most SIGs but there has been no response from certain SIGs.
B. Conferences by SIGs were proposed by Dr CR Srinivas & Dr Barua
and suggested the name, DERMASIGCON followed by the SIG name
e.g. DERMASIGCON-Psoriasis/Pemphigus/Urticaria/Pigmentary
Dermatoses for them. It was suggested that even a non SIG member
can hold a conference involving SIGs members. The calendar can be
prepared by the Academy and bbidding can be done on the floor
during ABGM or by Election and voting in case of multiple bids.
Preference will be given to non-metro cities that may not have the
infrastructure to host a DERMACON at this point of time. The
concerned SIG members will be the national members of the
Scientific Committee and there will be a local Organising Committee.
The rules regarding finances and profit sharing could be the same as
applicable for DERMACON or with minor modifications and an
amount of Rs. 2 lacs could be made available as seed money.
C. IADVL Training Fellowship issues: Guidelines to be framed for
Evaluation of existing Fellowship centres, for deletion of nonfunctioning
Fellowship centres and for approving new Fellowship
centres. Dr. Manas Chatterjee and Dr Arijit Coondoo had prepared
evaluation forms previously and can be used with some
modifications. One is evaluation is programmer by the trainee other
is trainee by the programme Director. Grading to be given rather than
percentage. The increase for stipend for trainee from Rs 5000 to Rs.
10,000 has been suggested and approved. The Academy will,
henceforth, screen applications for Fellowship Centres & training
fellowships by constituting a panel of members for such screening.
Evaluation of existing Fellowship centres would be initiated and
criteria for approving new Fellowship centres would be drafted by the
Academy.
D. IADVL SIG Research Grant: It was proposed that an IADVL SIG
Research Grant be instituted to fund research projects/ Multicentric
studies in the thrust areas of each SIG. The funding mechanism was
discussed. The format for application of the Research grant was
ratified.
IADVL Academy on the web: The proposal for a dedicated web page
of the IADVL Academy in the iadvl association website iadvl.org was
passed by the EC. The proposed webpage will have links for each SIG
and Links to the IADVL and IJDVL/IDOJ websites.
E. DERMACON Orations & Award Papers: Dr Barua apprised that the
GB has passed the proposal to advance the abstract submission
deadlines for DERMACON Award Papers & orations to Aug 31.
However, the Organising & Scientific Committees of DERMACON
2013 have proposed to accept applications for orations and award
Vol: 8 Issue: 2 16
August 2012
papers till July 31, 2012 this time. It was further proposed that the
online abstract submission process should be updated and should
have all modalities for rejecting incomplete or invalid applications,
wherever applicable.
F. IADVL Academy Fellowships: Revision of criteria to award
Honorary Fellowships and revision of fees for applicants for paid
fellowship were discussed but it was finally decided that status quo
be maintained.
G. Regarding very poor at DERMACON AGBMs: Dr. Shyamanta Barua
proposed that a committee of 3 people has to form to look at the ways
of improving its attendance" should actually be "Regarding very poor
attendance at DERMACON AGBMs: Dr. C. R. Srinivas proposed that a
committee be formed with Dr. Devesh Mishra, Dr. Suresh Joshipura,
Dr. Narendra Patwardhan and Dr. Shyam Verma as members and Dr.
Shyamanta Barua as Member Secretary to look at the ways of
improving attendance in DERMACON AGBMs.”
22. Guidelines for Pharmaceutical support for SIG activities: Dr
Kiran Godse had brought forward this issue by a proposal of IADVL
approval for their SIG activity supported by a Pharma company. EC
felt that it is heartening that the activities of many SIGS are being
supported by Pharma industries. However, they may use this
opportunity to promote their products by labeling them as being
approved/supported by these SIGs of IADVL. Dr Barua suggested
that the guidelines for Pharmaceutical support for SIG activities can
be as follows: CMEs/Workshops/ Conferences can be supported by
pharmaceutical companies as is done in CUTICONs/DERMACONs
and will be governed by Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
when they are in place. If a grant has to be accepted for scientific
publications, it would be acknowledged with – "This publication has
been made possible by an educational grant from ..…." or "Print
courtesy from educational grant of …... ". It should be categorically
mentioned in an official agreement with the concerned
pharmaceutical company that it cannot construe such sponsorship
as an endorsement of any product or instrument or similar by IADVL.
23. DVL welfare trust issues were elaborated by Dr. Chetan Patel.
Proposed a single payment mode to become life member if any
member accepts to pay one lump sum amount Rs. 10,000/- as it
would suffice for 30 years of his life to take care of yearly
contribution. We can open this for members all who had already
joined also. As of now the annual membership is Rs. 300/- apart
from the joining fee. We need to encourage younger generation to join
it. The indemnity coverage for those would like to opt for it would be
be Rs. seven lacs, per case and Rs. fifteen lacs aggregate per year,
once it is applicable. One legal advisor should be at Baroda and there
IADVL
NEWS
is a need for legal support at state level as consumer protection act
issues need to be addressed in the local courts. Dr P. Narasimha Rao
had a long discussion with Dr Chetan Patel on various aspects of the
DVL trust guide lines and Dr Chetan Patel at the end said that he would

NEWS
New Proposals received and to be discussed in the CC Meet on 14th & 15th July, 2012
1. Dr. C.R. Srinivas - President Proposal
Proposal for cancellation of Workshop during DERMACON
As per our constitution DERMACON should not be for more than 3
days and one day CME. However many local body organize a
standalone workshop apart from CME and even along with CME
as a parallel session. CME is a plenary session and no parallel
workshop should be organised. No workshop should be permitted
one day prior to CME also as this prolongs the stay and some may
choose to attend the workshop and skip CME and conference to
cut short duration of stay. Even if permitted the organizers should
obtain prior permission and it should be merged with DERMACON.
2. Proposal by Dr Devesh Mishra
Regarding Quorum for CC meet and our AGBMs
The number of members to be present as a must should be 7 (at
least 3 can be other than office-bearers) for CC meet and 40 for
AGBMs respectively, is grossly less than desirable. Our member
strength is now nearing 7500 (around 6000 being LMs) . Also
number of state presidents and Sec. + EC members is over 50
without adding CC members from states.
We can have more numbers for fulfilling the “quorum” to reflect
our true member’s strength at these meets. As the present no’s
from the present constitution is old and grossly insufficient. Ref.
IADVL Constitution 2010, page 42, Quorum.
3. Dr. S.D.N Gupta Proposal
Dr SDN Gupta wanted to bring to the EC notice the fellowships
being conducted and held by non Dermatologists at Tamil Nadu.
One such advertisement was as follows: “We are conducting
various fellowship certificates courses to update and empower
the General Practitioners. One of the certificate course is on Sexual
Medicine. The course is co-ordinate and conducted under the
Directorship of “Dr. M. Balasubramanian” course fee: Rs.
15000/-, Duration-3 Months, Venue-IMA Hall, Tambaram.” For
Discussion at CC meet.
4. Proposal from Dr P Narasimha Rao and Dr DBN Murthy
Proposal 1. Increase in the allocation/provision for
telephone/mobile bill expenditure in constitution for President, Hon
Gen Secretary and Hon Treasurer: Proposal from Dr P Narasimha
Rao and Dr DBN Murthy.
Background: At present our constitution (page 25 under head
expenditure) limits the expenditure on telephone bill of HOn Gen
Secretary and Hon Treasurer to maximum of rs 5000 per year
which is grossly insufficient in this era multiple usage of mobile
(texting, telephoning, emailing, downloading info etc) for IADVL
official purposes. More over it does not include Presidents
telephone bill in the expenditure at all. Hence we propose as
follows:
Proposal: The expenditure of phone/mobile usage may be limited
to a maximum of 36,000 per year (3000 per month) for Hon Gen
secretary and 24,000 per year (2000 per month) for President
and Hon Treasurer which is the reasonable and realistic
expenditure expected in this era of increased communications and
usage of mobile for multi-tasking (texting, telephoning, emailing,
downloading info etc) for the activities of IADVL.
Proposal 2. Proposal for opening current account for IADVL -
propose the following for your perusal and consideration: IADVL
EC may be permitted to open a current account in addition to SB
account and fixed deposit accounts in same branch of the
nationalized bank, fully following existing rules and guidelines of
opening such an account.
Background: As per our constitution,(page 24 , No. 20) IADVL
can open a SB account and fixed deposit account in any
nationalized bank in its name. However, there is no provision for
opening a current account, which is required for smooth
functioning of IADVL financial activities.
Reasoning of need for current account: With increasing need for
online bookings (such as booking of online tickets for EC meet,
CC meet etc) and increasing international monetary transactions
(transfer of membership fee to ILDS, or other international IADVL
transactions, participation in society meetings) there is a need for
IADVL secretariat to perform internet based national and
international banking transactions, for which a current account
facility is required, as such facilities are not being extended to SB
account.
This may be permitted on the similar guidelines as applicable to
the opening of SB account and should be in the same branch on
the name of IADVL only. Both account may be linked and shown as
Vol: 8 Issue: 2 18
August 2012
IADVL accounts only. A small part of IADVL funds may be kept in
current account as and when needed for such transactions.
5. Proposal from Dr P Narasimha Rao Proposal for inclusion of
names of states Goa, Uttarakhand etc in our constitution I have
observes to my dismay that in whole of our constitution there is no
mention of two states, Goa and Uttarakhand. They have to be
mentioned as part of combined branches of "Maharashtra& Goa"
and as "UP and Uttarakhand" Maharashtra is wrongly mentioned
as single state branch in our constitution, although it has been a
combined branch with Goa for a very many years.
Also the details of the states and UT which form a part of North
East branch has to be clearly mentioned. In effect, all the states
and union territories of India have to have mention somewhere in
our constitution, stating to which larger state they form a part or
mentioned as a part of combined branch. This would make IADVL
truly a pan Indian DVL association.
6. Agenda by Dr. Venkataram Mysore
Point 1: I had submitted the following point to central council in
2011:
The constitution states on Page no 34, 35 post of secretary,
treasurer, Joint secretary that they Must have been actively
involved in the affairs of the Association in an official capacity
*either at the central level or in the branch, combined branch level
or a Central Council member from the branch for a minimum
period of 2 year either continuous or with breaks. However it is not
specified what the official capacity is. This means that any
member with no significant administrative experience or even
minimal experience (such as CC member for two years) in the
association can contest for the two most important positions in
IADVL. This is a serious lacuna which needs to be addressed. This
was then referred to the constitution committee which accepted
the suggestion and recommended modifications in their report
and submitted to AGM in DERMACON Jaipur. However, to the best
of my knowledge, these have not been implemented in this year’s
election. I request you to kindly inform the house about the status
of the changes as advised by the constitution committee.
Point 2: All iadvl award winners should be recognized by printing
their names, along with their work done and reason why he/she
was given the award, and the nature of the award, in iadvl
newsletter and in conference abstract book. Presently only their
names and names of awards are being announced and it becomes
unclear as to why the awardee has been awarded.

Proposal: Nomenclature of sub-branches of IADVL State
Branches
The local city/town/region sub-branches of IADVL State Branches
should be named as IADVL Chapters for clarity and ease of
administrative hierarchy and function. This has been followed
successfully in the North East States Branch of IADVL. For e.g., the
local IADVL sub-branch at Dibrugarh is called Dibrugarh Chapter
of North East States Branch of IADVL. This nomenclature of
"Chapter" should be made applicable for all new local units of
IADVL as well as for those who have been functioning previously
by the name of sub-branches.
Proposal: Mandatory inclusion of all IADVL Life Members into
the IADVL General Yahoo e-Group
The membership of IADVL General Yahoo e-group should be made
mandatory for all Life Members (LMs) of IADVL. Once all the
IADVL
NEWS
existing LMs are enrolled into the group, all new LMs should be
automatically drafted into the group at the time of validating their
membership. We must ensure this so that IADVL becomes a 24 x 7
institution for all. All may not be active but even the lurkers will get
first hand information pertaining to all that is happening in their
association under a single umbrella. Moreover, this will inculcate
e-awareness amongst the members.
11. Name of the proposer: Dr Atul Mohan Kochhar LM/ND/1507
and Dr Raghunatha Reddy
Name of the secondor: Dr Sanjeev Gupta LM/H/3000
Subject: Levy of fee for contesting elections- Regarding
Introduction: Respected Seniors and Dear Friends
A steep 'fee' (ranging from Rs 5000 to 20,000)has been decided
by the AGBM at Jaipur for contesting for the various posts of the
IADVL elections. Shouldn't it just be a nominal 'deposit' which
can be forfeited if the candidate fails to secure a certain
percentage of votes. For all others the 'deposit' is usually refunded.
That will deter the 'non-serious' candidates. And this deposit
should also be preferably reasonable / nominal so as not to deter
anybody. Otherwise to serve the association, one has to have
deep pockets too.
And why the 'grading' please. Why the fee should be different for
different posts? The electoral exercise is same for all posts then
why the difference?
The Proposal: 1.The Deposit for all posts under IADVL - election
should be nominal - for all posts preferably Rs 5000/- or less.
2.This Deposit should be same for all post. 3. The Deposit should
be forfeited in case the candidate polls less than 1/5th of the total
votes polled. 4. On withdrawal of the candidature, before the
prescribed date, the Deposit should be refunded in total. 5.The
changes should be effective immediately, and fee already received
should be considered as the deposit and excess fee if any, should
be refunded via DD or cheque.

Structure of IADVL-GSK Quiz:
Stage 1:
State level Quiz: The IADVL IGNQPP committee would coordinate
with the state IADVL braches and would ascertain the dates of
CUTICONS to plan for state level quiz. The responsibility of
organizing the State level IADVL Quiz rests with the organizers of
the CUTICONS. Intimation should be sent to all departments of
medical colleges of that state by the CUTICON organizers to invite
PG students to participate in the quiz. State level quiz should be
conducted under IADVL-GSK banner and in the PRIME time slot
preferably on the FIRST day of CUTICON as it would be attract
post graduates and also would be informative to delegates. The
conduct of the Quiz would be supervised and coordinated by the
IADVL with the help of regional GSK representatives.
Method of conduct of Quiz: If there are 4 or > 4 colleges per state,
there will be a separate quiz for each state. If there are less than 4
colleges, then they would be clubbed with neighbouring states. A
panel of quiz masters would be provided to all state CUTICONS by
the IADVL IGNAPP committee. CUTICON organizers can call any
quiz master from that panel or any other IADVL member of their
choice but s/he should be from outside that state and should be
considered invited faculty. They should also appoint a senior
member of their state IADVL as observer for the conduct of quiz.
The logistics of arranging the travel and accommodation for the
Quiz master rests with the CUTICON organizers.
Finances: Participants from the same state will not be paid any
expenses. If Post graduates from two states are clubbed together
for State level quiz, the PG students from the neighbouring state
would be paid fixed amount of Rs. 5000/- for each participant
(Maximum of Rs. 10000/- for team) toward travel and other
expenses. To the CUTICON organizers, a cheque for Rs. 25,000/

test at DERMACON. The travel, accommodation and local
hospitality of the two quiz masters and the national observer at
DERMACON will be paid by IADVL. Arrangements for the

Report of MID DERMACON CME/Workshop held on July 14 & 15 2012 at Hyderabad
Dr Anup Lahiri
IADVL had started a new concept of having a
mid-annual conference or CME between the
annual DERMACON from 2012 and fortunately
Hyderabad was the first city to hold the
conference. The most popular choice among
young Dermatologists is to learn aesthetic
Dermatology and Dermatosurgery and those
are the subject we choose to highlight at our
MID DERMACON meet in Hyderabad. Like our Dr IS Reddy
Hyderabadi cuisine, the renowned Biryani, we wanted all the delegates to remember this
conference experience with nostalgia. Hence, we organized a 2 day CME & workshop on
Cosmetology, Lasers and Dermatosurgery to provide” what's the latest?” in these fields,
apart from the live demo of Dermatosurgery which included procedures which can be
performed in day to day office practice.
CME was conducted by national Faculty of repute. Dr Niti khunger, Dr Munish Paul, Dr Zawar,
Dr Raghunath Reddy, Dr Ganesh Pai, Dr CR Srinivas, Dr P Narasimha Rao, Dr Satish Sawant,
Dr Swapnil Shah, Dr Sacchidanand, Dr Kiran Godse, Dr Suresh Talwar, Dr Niteen Dhipe are
some of those who shared their experience with the audience on topics wherein they have
rich expertise and interest. We had talks on subjects like use of Platelet rich plasma, fractional
lasers, fractional RF and relevance of sun screens in Indian skin, management of adult acne
etc. Newer procedures in Dermatosurgery and Dermatology and ever-sought-after advances
in chemical peel were also included, both in CME and workshop. We had two panel
discussions with experts in acne scar management and Laser hair removal, which gave
beginners the idea on how to start and deal with these situations. Use of Botox and fillers were
demonstrated.
Workshop was a big success with all the registered delegates attending sessions till the end
with rapt attention. We had live demo on Nerve blocks, Nail surgery, acne surgery, chemical
peels, Botox , Fillers and fractional lasers. Demos were performed by experts in these fields,
like Dr Anup Lahiry, Dr Manas Chatterjee, Dr Sanjeev Aurangabadkar, Dr Niti khunger, Dr
Rajitha Damisetty and Dr Uvaneswari. Dr Niteen Dhepe kept the audience interested by his
pleasant compering of the workshop. We had a very able and enthusiastic guide of Dr
Raghunatha Reddy, central scientific committee member and co-coordinator of SIG
Dermatosurgery, without whose able guidance we would have fell short of expectations.
Finally Hyderabad will be grateful to Dr CR Srinivas, President of IADVL, Dr P Narasimha Rao,
Secretary IADVL and Dr DBN Murthy, treasurer IADVL and the executive of IADVL AP state
Branch, to have organized the 1st Mid DERMACON meet of IADVL in our twin cities,
Hyderabad & Secunderabad.
