OTHER POINTS FROM THE MEMBERS
UNDER BYELAW - 69 |
5.1 |
The following points were raised by the members
present in the AGM with the permission of the
Chair:- |
a) |
Prof B L Deekshatulu suggested that the Council
should deliberate more on Technology and
Telecom issues, which are today of concern to
the Nation and to the public rather than restricting
to only IETE Organisational and Administrative
matters. He said that this would certainly help to
further enhance the image of the Institution.
The President thanked Prof B L Deekshatulu for
this valuable suggestion and said that this was
really the need of the hour for IETE. He said that
this point would be taken up in the next Council
Meeting wherein such subjects will be identified
and further deliberated. He also said that similar
activity should be undertaken by the major IETE
Centres.
