Condolences:

Our zone lost Dr Devendra Shirole (Membership No: 19077) from Pune and Dr Vijay

Debsikdar (Membership No: 4033) from Miraj. Dr Devendra Shirole our senior member

from Pune who passed away after a brief illness. An inspirational figure in IMA and IPS Pune

was a dynamic, learned and enthusiastic member. His loss has left a void in the field of

medicine. We also lost Dr Vijay Debsikdar a senior psychiatrist from Miraj. Dr Vijay lived a

vibrant life even though he had locomotor disability and is greatly missed. The Zone paid

tributes to both the bereaved families.

Important issues addressed in the zone There were 4 EC. Meetings and 1 election scrutiny meeting held during this year and

various matters of importance were discussed.

Having obtained the Physical copy of the Zonal PAN card by the sustained effort of Dr Jay Shastri, has put an end to various financial and bank relating issues in the Zone. Dr Jay has now initiated streamlining of the zonal accounts and has been working on providing support and guidance to all local and state branches within the WZB to obtain their own PAN card. Issues pertaining to income tax are being examined in consultation with our CA and seniors in the zone. The IPSWZB Journal the Archives of Psychiatry is being further revamped, under the able guidance of Dr Jayita Deodhar. The Zonal journal has been plagued with funding issues as Dr Jayita has made a specific proposal for enhancement of fees which was tabled in the AGBM. Appropriate decisions were taken to strengthen the finances involve in making the zonal journal a regular feature and having maximum reach. To feed the journal, which will be soon indexed on Pub-Med A special Research Sub Committee has been formed chaired by Dr Sandip Shah. We lost the old website www.ipswzb.org due to disappearance of the service provider. This matter was swiftly handled by Dr Abhijit Faye and Dr Vivek Kirpekar on specific legal advice

and directions of the office bearers. Subsequently, we now have a New Website www.ipswzb.net.
