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

Page 5: 59 Annual Report 2015-16

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.
