From the President’s desk……
Dear SITians,
We are entering into yet another year with this issue.
Due to personal reasons, I have relinquished the post of Hon. Secretary of SIT/SES. I have been intensely associated with SITAA for about 10 years, much before SITAA became a Registered Society. I have always enjoyed my association with SITAA. On health grounds,
I have decided to relinquish the post of President of SITAA, with effect from 30-6-2018. I have already sent needed papers to Secretary SITAA on this count.
I wish SITAA continued growth, as a Banyan Tree is bound to. All best wishes and regards
Dr.S.Sudharssanam
