After getting associated with Indian Institute of Material Management (IIMM), I got the opportunity not only to improve my academic qualifications in Material Management (GDMM, PDMM & MBA (MM)) but also served IIMM Raebareli Branch in various capacities including Chairman of the Branch. The credit goes to our present National President Shri Lalit Raj Meena Sa who introduced me to IIMM during my service at SGPGIMS, Lucknow. During 2019-21 I was the only official who got elected unopposed to the Apex Body of IIMM known as National Executive Committee (NEC) in the capacity of Vice-President (North). It was the then National President Shri Malay Chandan Majumdar and other stalwarts like Late Dr. M K Bhardwaj, Shri L P Patel, Shri S K Sharma, Prof. (Dr.) Suresh Kumar Sharma, Shri O P Longia etc. who inspired and motivated me to think of expanding IIMM activities by enrolling new members, new students, teaching, training and research in the field of Materials Management and also think of opening of new branch. The dream of four years back has now become a reality and the newly established branch is before us in the City i.e. birth place of Lord Ram, Ayodhya. I am glad to bring it on record that 100 plus life members are on the roll of IIMM, Ayodhya. This all has been possible only because of the strength of committed professionals are with me. I do hope that the newly created Branch Executive Committee (BEC) of IIMM Ayodhya Branch is fully aware of its strength to strengthen the activities of IIMM. I am privileged to have such wonderful team consisting of Mr. Abhay Mehrotra (Chairman), Mr. Sanjay Dua (Vice Chairman), Mr. S K Srivastava (Hon. Secretary), Mr. Deep Chand (Treasurer), Mr. V V Chaturvedi & Mr. R A Yadav (NC) and five Executive Members namely Mr. Adarsh Gautam, Mr. C M Mishra, Mr. Pradeep Verma, Mr. Yogendra Bhardwaj, Mr. R K Sharma, Mr. Junaid Ahmad (I/c Education Wing) and Mr. Umesh Dutt Sharma (I/c IT Cell). I invite all my professional colleagues to come forward and spread the activities of IIMM to motivate new scholars, executives, professionals to join hands with IIMM and contribute in Nation Building and make our great country as “EK BHARAT SHRESHTH BHARAT”.
