Dear Colleagues and Friends,

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2025!

The TIMACON 2024, held on the 14th and 15th of December at Salem, conducted by the Attur and Salem IMA branches, was truly a memorable and historic event.

Our organizing team, led by Dr. K. Prakasam (Advisor and Mentor), Dr. D. Balu (Organizing Chairman), Dr. V. Sundravel (Organizing Co-Chairman), Dr. R. Rabindranath (Organizing Secretary), Dr. K.B. Sivaprakasam (Co-Secretary), Dr. R. Selvam (Joint Secretary), and Dr. M. Arunkumar (Treasurer), did a phenomenal job in ensuring the success of TIMACON 2024. They proved that even a small branch can host a mega event, earning widespread appreciation for our hospitality, arrangements, academic sessions, flavorful cuisine, and vibrant entertainment.

The event commenced with a warm welcome by our patron Dr. K. Prakasam. The Honorable Tourism Minister, Thiru R. Rajendran, graced the occasion and addressed issues like tax problems and CEA challenges. Although Thiru K.N. Nehru, Honorable Minister for Municipal Administration, Urban and Water Supply, was unable to attend due to flood relief efforts in Tirunelveli, he conveyed his best wishes for the success of the conference.

I take pride in outlining my projects for the year, which address critical needs of our society:

  • Teenage Awareness
  • Traffic Awareness
  • Drug Abuse Awareness

These initiatives are the need of the hour, and I am committed to their successful implementation. I also assure you that the previous projects of outgoing president Dr. K.M. Abul Hasan will be continued to achieve their desired goals.

The presence of Dr. J.A. Jayalal, President of the Commonwealth Medical Association (fondly known as ஆத்தூரின் செல்லப்பிள்ளை), as the Guest of Honour added immense value and glory to the event.

My priorities for 2025 include:

  • Increasing membership in IMA, FSS, and PPLSSS
  • Streamlining the operations of all branches
  • Resolving issues related to CEA, minimum wages, and insurance

I also take this opportunity to appreciate the commendable efforts of the Villupuram branch in providing health support to villages affected by the Fhengal storm.

I express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you for entrusting me with this once-in-a lifetime opportunity to serve as the President of IMA TNSB 2025.

I extend my respectful thanks to my advisors and mentors:

  • Dr. K. Prakasam
  • Dr. M.S. Ashraf
  • Dr. J.A. Jayalal
  • Dr. R. Gunasekaran

A special note of gratitude to my close associates:
