Dear all,
Greetings from the Secretary’s desk.
IANCON 2023 is fast approaching and we are all very excited about it as much as the local
organising committee, so ably headed by Prof M. R. Manivannan, I welcome all of you to
the temple city of Madurai ( my hometown) to not only gain knowledge but also be amazed
by the cultural framework of Madurai, a place filled with people who have genuinely golden
hearts and warmth in their hospitality. When in Madurai, don’t forget to taste the local
cuisine ( Madurai is famous for its eateries and is for that reason called the ‘city that never
sleeps’) or to shop for some local specialties (such as the sungudi sarees and the Madurai
Jasmine).
IAN has been progressing by leaps and bounds thanks to the enthusiastic and innovative
President Dr Gagandeep Singh, who has also been instrumental in bringing out an excellent
programme for the IANCON 2023. This year, we will have the honor of hosting the WFN
President and Secretary too.
The elections for the executive committee of the IAN is going to happen in August 2023. We
look forward to active participation from our members. It’s very heartening to see that
there is so much eagerness and willingness to contribute to the IAN amongst our members.
The Academy is as always at your service and would look forward to all healthy criticisms
and suggestions about how it can be taken to further heights.
With best wishes and loads of goodwill for the exciting season ahead
Dr. U Meenakshisundaram
Secretary, Indian Academy of Neurology
