AHMEDABAD MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION ANNUAL REPORT 2015-2016 lllll 1
From the President
I am happy to present the Annual Report of our
Association for the year 2015-16. Taking charge from a
vibrant leader Shri Pranav Adani, it was a challenging
task for me to keep up the momentum by introducing
newer programmes and building more facilities to
support the activities. I am happy that AMA could
continue its tradition of organizing a diversified range
of purpose-driven programmes. This year, the emphasis
was on skill development of professionals from worker level to senior
Managers and also on promoting programmes relating to entrepreneurship.
During the year, as many as 570 Management Development Programmes
were organized involving a participation of more than 11471 professionals.
The number of in-company programmes were 51. The year witnessed
19 open Seminars, 11 Diploma programs, 160 International Trade
programmes, 194 open lectures, 104 Summer Workshops for students and
two industrial visits.
Among the major highlights of the year was setting up an Activity Centre
with the contribution of our Past President Shri P.V.R.N. Iyer, for facilitating
Doctoral Programme for the benefit of Members and non-members pursuing
higher level academic endeavours. The inauguration of the Research Centre
on 24th September 2015 by Shri Shivakumar, CEO, PepsiCo India and the
beginning of regular activities were major steps forward in promoting
quality Doctoral education in the State. The Centre began organizing
Workshops and regular Forum meetings in this direction. I would like to
express our gratitude to Dr. Paresh Kariya and other academic friends,
namely, Prof. Rasananda Panda, Dr. C. Gopalakrishnan, and Dr. A.C.
Brahmbhatt for facilitating this activity.
We have been able to add three more PG Diploma Programmes in our
continuing education programme, namely, Diploma in Corporate
Communication, Diploma in Marketing & Sales and Diploma in Healthcare
& Hospital Management. The high level of academic discipline pursued by
AMA enabled us to maintain the collaboration as well as to secure the
University’s confidence in launching three more Diploma Programmes. This
has differentiated AMA from all other Management Associations in the
country as a unique institution committed to professional development of
our society through continuing education.
The support of past President Shri Pranav Adani in developing a Pavilion
near JB Auditorium has been a valuable contribution to AMA. The
2 lllll ANNUAL REPORT 2015-2016 AHMEDABAD MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION
permanent facility of a Pavilion adds value to JB Auditorium and can be
utilized for exhibitions, common dining, get-togethers, open programmes,
Workshops, etc. The Pavilion is planned for inauguration in early
September. Members of AMA and I express our deep gratitude to
Shri Pranavbhai and Adani Group for this lasting contribution.
In step with the Digital revolution, AMA has already digitalized all its
records. At present 80% of the correspondence is conducted through
e-mail. We will begin sending all announcements through e-mail once we
complete collecting the e-mail records of all members.
The on-line registration facility, introduced a year ago, is fully operational.
AMA has also reached out to the world through a mobile application “AMA
App” and through Twitter, Linkedin and Facebook. With expansion of
Shilp Gravures Media Centre (Book Shop) the publication activity has been
prolific. As many as eight books were reprinted and 19 new books were
published. The three monthly journals being sent to Members have been
receiving positive feedback. We also developed digital books, recorded
lecture series in MP-3 format and edited and developed small booklets
from lecture CDs.
Overall, the year provided very useful activities and programmes to the
community.
It is our aim to be a responsive and proactive organization. This vision also
gives shape to all our new projects under planning. We are developing a
Common Facility Centre for SMEs in training and development. Also on
the drawing board are: expansion of the skill development programmes,
reaching out these programmes at unit level, setting up of counseling facility
for start-up, etc.
On behalf of the Governing Council and myself, I express my gratitude to
all the members, participants of programmes, faculty members, members
of AMA Committee, administration, media & press community and other
associates for their continued support and co-operation towards the
Association. I also owe my gratitude to the members of the Governing
Council and the past Presidents for extending their support and guidance.
