Draft Minutes - General Body Meeting - 7th February 2015, Ranchi
1. President: Welcome & Opening Remarks
The President Dr. Deepak Kirpekar welcomed everyone to the General Body Meeting at Ranchi. In his opening
remarks he mentioned that general body meetings are important and are a place where the members discuss,
debate and come to conclusions on the important matters of the society and requested the members to have the
discussions in a gentlemanly manner with voices lowered down.
2. Obituary
The President informed the General Body about the sad demise of Dr. Pramod Sharma, Dr. Fitzpatrick, Dr.
Ranganatha Rao, Dr. U. K. Sharan, Dr. V. R. Chitale, Dr. Mallikarjun Desai, Dr. C. K. Subudhi and Dr.
Srinivansan Gurumurthy. The General Body offered their condolence to the departed souls by standing in
silence for one minute.
3. Approval of Agenda
President requested for the approval of agenda. The agenda was approved unanimously.
Proposed by Dr. S. V. Kotwal. Seconded by Dr. Anil Elhence
4. Confirmation of Minutes of the Annual General Body Meeting held on 1st February 2014, at New
Delhi
Dr. P. Venugopal raised the matter of changing the name of Dr. G. M. Phadke Oration to Dr. Ajit Phadke
Oration. Dr.Hari Bhai Patel informed that this issue had to be discussed in the matters arising from the minutes.
Subsequently the minutes of the AGM held during USICON 2014 at Delhi were passed unanimously.
Proposed by Dr. C. Mallikarjuna and seconded by Dr. Anil Elhence
5. Matters arising from the Minutes of the AGM held on 1st February 2014, at New Delhi
The matter of changing the name of Dr. G. M. Phadke Oration was discussed. Dr. Venugopal was of the opinion
that it was not reasonable to rename an oration in this manner. He stated that no family should be allowed to
change the names of the orations of the society. Dr. Brig. Rautray was also of the opinion that just because the
family had requested, the orations of the society cannot be renamed. Older orations can only be stopped and
new orations can be started without changing the existing structure. Dr. Kirpekar informed that these decisions
were taken in 2013 and resolved in the AGM at Pune, and the minutes subsequently approved at Delhi in 2014.
Dr. Kirpekar informed the general body that the family of Dr. Ajit Phadke had given a new corpus with the
request to change the name of the oration and it was changed with the consent of the general body and if the
general body feels that there should be no change in the name of the oration a new resolution should be put forth
in the AGM to be held during USICON 2016 at Hyderabad and decision should be taken after that. Since this
year the oration was already delivered it would be improper to change it again without proper agenda being
listed.
6. Honorary Secretary's Report
Dr. D. Ramesh, Hon. Secretary, USI presented the Secretary's Report to the General Body. He informed that a
detailed report had been published in the Supplement of the January issue. He thanked the council members,
senior members and the members of USI for their support in the running of the society for the past two years. He
informed about the academic activities of the society during the year. He informed that a lot of members
participated in a plethora of international events. He informed about the webcast of live surgeries introduced
this year which was well appreciated by all the members. He informed that the strength of the society rested on
the unity and large numbers.
He then informed about the problem areas of the society in the past year. The first was the issue with the
registrar of societies. The second was the conduct of meetings and workshops by members before and after
USICON and the third was the printing of newsletters.
He concluded his report by expressing his gratitude to the President, President Elect, the Past President, the
Treasurer, the council members and all the members of the society for their support.
The matter of printing newsletters was then discussed. The secretary informed that the matter was raised in the
General Body Meeting at USICON 2014 and he was instructed to send emails to all the members regarding
receiving of printed newsletters. He informed that only 24 members responded for wanting printed newsletters.
Discussions regarding the same were made and it was decided that the newsletter would go online from now
onwards.
Proposed by Dr. S. V. Kotwal and seconded by Prof. P. Venugopal.
7. Honorary Treasurer's Report
Dr. R. Keshavamurthy, Treasurer USI presented his report to the general body. He informed about the
membership status of the society. The current number of members of the society during USICON 2015 is 3,108
with 1727 full members, 1278 associate members and 103 international members. He informed that the full
audited financial report for the year 2013-14 has been printed in the newsletter supplement. He then presented
the details of the assets of the society. He also informed about the financial status of the IJU. He informed about
the contributions received over the years from USICONs.
Dr. Hari Bhai Patel suggested that the auditors report be signed by the President, USI rather than the accountant
of the society. He also suggested about the interest from investments. He suggested that the investments can be
made in UTI charitable trust schemes. Dr. Keshav informed that it is always safer to invest in government
securities as there is a lot of risk involved in investing in shares and securities. Dr. Patel informed that the
schemes of the UTI are registered under the registrar of charities and income tax office and are safe. Dr. Keshav
informed that he will look into the same.
The Treasurer Report was passed unanimously. Proposed by Dr. A. Mohan and seconded by Dr. Ashok Sharma
8. Appointment of the auditor for the year 2014 -15
The Treasurer asked the permission of the general body regarding the appointment of the auditors. Currently
M/S Narang & Narang Associates are the auditors for USI. The General Body gave the permission to the
treasurer to continue with the same.
9. Approval of new members
The treasurer informed about the list of new members applied for membership. There were 217 applications for
associate members and 36 applications for full members. The applications for conversions were 118 and four
applications for international membership.
Proposed by Dr. C. Mallikarjuna and seconded by Dr. R. Shivashankar
10. Report about the legal issues with the Charities Commissioner Mumbai
The President informed the general body that when the office bearers had gone to the Charity Commissioner at
Mumbai to register the constitutional amendment for evoting they were surprised to note that the office bearers
registered with them were Dr. Ajit Phadke, Dr. Shyam Joshi and Dr. Madhav Kamat. He informed that for the
past many years somehow the notification regarding the incoming and outgoing officers of the society was not
registered to the charity commissioner by the previous office bearers.
Dr. Keshav informed that our society was registered with the Charity Commissioner in Mumbai and the
Registrar of Societies in September 1982 with the then office bearers and from then onwards not a single
change report of office bearers was filled with them. He informed about the details which have to be submitted
every year. He informed there were lots of problems in retrieving the file of the society. He then informed about
the measures which are being taken up to solve these problems. He informed that signatures of all the office
bearers from 1982 onwards are being taken up and after some formalities the society will be legalized with the
changes and amendments.
Dr. Kotwal informed that he had intimated the office bearers in 2011 itself and it should have been taken up by
the office bearers then itself. Dr. Rajeev Sood stated that there were discussions about the same previously also
and a committee was formed chaired by Dr. P. Venugopal and some senior members noted that there is no need
for any new constitution. He also noted that if the society is not registered than all the decisions taken in the
GBM will also not be legal. He further stated that all the offices should be centralized. He suggested that there is
no charity commissioner in New Delhi where the central office is situated. Indian Societies Act is applicable in
Delhi and the society can be reregistered under it. Dr. A. Mohan suggested that all the rules and regulations for
the office bearers of the society should be written down so that the succeeding office bearers are made aware of
them. Dr. Kirpekar informed that a hand book for the same is being prepared for this very purpose and it will be
circulated after the legal matters are sorted out. Dr Mohan further suggested that an induction program should
be taken up for the new office bearers. Dr. Lalmalani seconded the suggestion by Dr. Rajeev Sood to register the
society in Delhi with the Indian Societies Act. Dr. Kirpekar and Dr. Keshav informed that they had taken legal
opinions regarding the same and a society cannot be transferred from one commissioner to another. It has to
first be dissolved by 2/3rds majority and then reregistered by any new commissioner which is not practical. Dr.
Hari Bhai Patel applauded the work of the present office bearers in this regard and urged the general body to
have confidence in them as they were moving in the right direction.
11. Proposals for amendments to USI Constitution
Dr. Ramesh informed about the amendments brought forward by Dr. Keshav regarding creation of new posts
for Secretary Elect and Treasurer Elect. These posts will act as a learning process of the new officer bearers and
they can work for one year under the current office bearers and will help in the smooth transition. Discussions
regarding the same were taken up by the general body. Dr. Hari Bhai Patel opined that there would be confusion
both by the office bearers and the members regarding the distribution of duties. He also opined that by adopting
this policy the secretary cannot be nominated for a second term of two years. He also opined that instead of the
same, new posts can be created as joint secretary and joint treasurer. Dr Rautray also agreed with the views of
Dr. Hari Bhai Patel. Dr. Madhu Agrawal, Dr. Rajeev Kumar and Dr P. Venugopal were of the opinion that there
should be one year as secretary / treasurer elect plus a three year term. Dr. A. Mohan opined that if the term
discussed in one plus two year term than it is as mentioned in the proposal for amendment but if the general
body agrees for a one plus three year term it has to be put forth as a fresh proposal and can only be finalized in
the next year. Dr. Rajeev Sood and Dr. T. R. Murali opined that there are only two council meetings in one year
and a secretary or treasurer have already been council members before holding the posts. Many members
opined that a one plus two year term is ideal. Concerns were also raised regarding the additional expenses for
the same. Voting for the same was done and it was approved by 2/3rds majority by the general body to accept
the proposal for a one plus two year term for both Secretary Elect and Treasurer Elect. Dr. Kirpekar informed
with this proposal passed there will be election for secretary elect and treasurer elect in the next year.. Hence
forth there shall be no election for the post of Secretary or Treasurer.
Proposed by Dr. C Mallikarjuna and seconded by Dr. P. Venugopal.
12. Report on the 48th Annual Conference of Urological Society of India (USICON 2014) by Dr. Rajeev
Sood, Organizing Secretary, USICON 2014
Dr. Rajeev Sood presented his report on USICON 2014. He informed that there was highest number of
delegates who attended and a highest number of papers presented in any USICON. He then presented the
financial statement for the conference. He informed that there were around 87 lacs as savings from the
conference which will be distributed equally between USI, the zone and the city chapter of the society. He
thanked the council for all the support received and was happy that the organizing committee was able to live
upto the expectations of the members. Dr. Kirpekar thanked Dr. Rajeev Sood for conducting a very well
managed conference.
Dr. S. V. Kotwal asked whether the conference was conducted by USI directly. Dr. Kirpekar informed that we
are moving in a step by step procedure for the same. Firstly from USICON 2013 Pune onwards the PAN Card of
USI was used. Secondly from USICON 2015 onwards the registration of delegates was done by the USI
Central Office and the delegate registration will be taken up completely by the USI Office for USICON 2016
and no bulk registrations will be accepted. Dr. Rajeev Kumar expressed his concerns regarding the huge
amount of budget for the conferences. He expressed that stiff targets must be set regarding the expenses and the
society should support the local organizers such that they are sure that if they fall short in their funds the society
will back them up.

at Hyderabad

interest there. He asked for the support of the office bearers for the smooth conduct of the conference. He
requested help and suggestions from all the members of the society. Dr. Ganesh Gopalakrishnan opined that the
scientific content of the conference should be of a very good quality.
15. Venue for USICON - 2018

Hota will be the Organizing Secretary. The details for the same will be presented during the next USICON.
17. Conduct of conferences/ Workshops by members of USI immediately before and after USICON
Dr. Kirpekar informed that a resolution had been passed in 2008 that there should be no conduct of workshops
or conferences two months prior to USICON and one month after the conference by a member of the society.
But there were no particular guidelines regarding the consequences if a member goes forward and conducts a
workshop or conference. He further informed that many members had done the same during this year. The case
of conducting a workshop just days before USICON 2015 conference dates was also discussed. Dr. Kirpekar
asked the general body for a decision regarding the same. Discussions regarding the same were made.
Suggestions for the guidelines were discussed. Dr. Kirpekar informed that the matter was thoroughly discussed
during the council meeting and proper guidelines for the conduct will be put forth.
The matter of giving powers to the council for the resolution was put to vote and the general body was of the
consensus that the council should have powers regarding the same. It was decided that no member of USI can
hold a conference or workshop 2 months prior and one month after USICON. Any member flouting these rules
would attract an academic ban in all USI activities for 3 years. This would apply to members of USI who
participate as faculty also. The GB authorized the Council to define these events appropriately and proceed
with suitable action on the defaulters. .
18. Subject for Dr Sitharaman Memorial Essay Competition - 2015
Dr. D. Ramesh informed that it was decided by the council that Nano technology in Urology will be the topic
for this year's essay competition. Dr Rajeev Kumar mentioned that clear rules must be mentioned in regards to
publication in IJU. The rules clearly state 'No Plagiarism'. It must be reiterated. Dr A Mohan also mentioned
that there are websites available to check plagiarism and articles must be checked prior to being reviewed.
19. Symposium Subject for USICON - 2017
Dr. Ramesh informed that the subject for symposium for USICON 2017 will be Vesico-Uretric Reflux:
Current Perspectives. Dr Girish Nelvegi suggested that this is too broad based. Dr Ramesh clarified that it
was published in the March newsletter and circulated to all the members but with no response till 3 weeks ago.
Then it was again circulated as a mass mail to all the members and around 12 topics were received from the
members. All the topics were discussed in the council meeting and the council decided on this topic. The
convener will be informed shortly.
20. Annual Conferences of the Zonal Chapters of the USI for 2015
Dr Ramesh informed that the zonal chapters have all fixed up the dates for their annual conferences which are
as following:
South Zone ASUCON at Vishakhapatnam from 10th to 12th July 2015
West Zone WZUSICON at Goa from 10th to 13th September 2015
North Zone NZUSICON at Srinagar from 17th to 19th September 2015
East Zone EZUSICON at Bodhgaya from 30th October to 1st November 2015
Dr P Venugopal mentioned that the dates of the west zone and north zone are too close. No zone should change
the date as and when they wish. The President asked the North zone secretary if the dates of the north zone could
be altered with at least a week difference with the other zonal meetings. Dr Ramesh asked Dr Uttam Mete the
north zone secretary to send an official mail regarding the news dates.
21. Proposal for new awards in USI
a. IJU-Vattikutti Award
b. Healthware award
Dr Ramesh brought to the attention of the house that there were a couple of new proposals for awards. The first
was IJU-Vattikutti Award which Dr Rajeev Kumar will be presenting during his report on IJU and the other was
Healthware award which came up from Healthware company who wanted to present this award to the best
resident both MCh or DNB and selected by the board of members from USI to be given a lower tract Endo
Urology equipment set costing around 10 lakhs. The formalities have been worked out and they are willing to
do it for the next 3 years. The only issue felt was that the selected candidate may be joining any training
institute, may not be able to utilize it and attempt to sell it. It was felt that this was beyond the jurisdiction of USI
or the sponsor to control the same. Members were of the opinion that the award should be of more duration
around 10 years and not just 3 years. Dr Kirpekar mentioned that 3 years is a time after which we can review the
award again and decide to continue the same.
The GB approved the same.
22. Report of Board of Education, USI, CUE Programs, Workshops & MOCK Examinations for 2015
Dr Sabnis informed the General Body of the activities pertaining to board of education during the last year. He
mentioned that all the activities have already been published. For the PGs activities during the year he

carried on with what Dr Nitin Kekre the last editor had entrusted to them as it had been a very brilliant model to
carry forward. He mentioned that there were about 450 submissions this year. The acceptance rates were almost
the same as last year but they have cut down on timelines and have made the publication faster. They are made
online on the first day of the cycle. Subscriptions have also increased in proportion to the membership numbers.
He also discussed the expenses and revenues of the journal. He mentioned the IJU awards also for the year

Annual Report of the Hon. Secretary
Respected President, Past Presidents, senior members colleagues and friends.
I wish to thank all of you for having bestowed on me the honor and responsibility of being the secretary of this
association for a second term of two more years. I would probably be the last secretary to have this
responsibility for two terms. The year 2015 has been exciting and eventful with robust academic activities
especially targeting the residents and younger urologists. The zonal chapters have had their respective annual
meetings and workshops successfully. The Board of education conducted 2 mock exams for the post graduates,
an instructional course jointly by the AUA and USI, and an update in Pediatric Urology, Carcinoma Prostate
and three live web casts. The office bearers and members of the USI also participated in the scientific program
of various international organizations like AUA, EAU, BAUS, UAA and USANZ. It is my pleasure to report
in detail the activities of the association over the past year.
Zonal Conferences
Report on SZUSICON 2015:
The 26th Annual Conference of Association of Southern Urologists (SZUSICON 2015) was held at Hotel
Novotel, Visakhapatnam. Prof. Chodisetti Subbarao was the Organising Secretary for this mega show. About
825 delegates attended this conference, which witnessed unique academic fiesta of very high calibre.
The pre conference CME was inaugurated on 10 July 2015 by Dr. S V Kumar, Principal, Andhra Medical
College, Vizhakhapatnam. The master class by Prof. URS E Studer from 9.00 AM to 1.00 PM kept the
audience spell bound. Not a single soul left his or her seat until the program was over. Prof Studer took the
delegates through a wonderful journey of Radical Cystectomy punctuated by his inimitable style. This was a
life time experience for most of the delegates. Hats off to the super teacher of this era….
The Board of Education, USI, inspired by the Studer show, put up an equally enviable academic celebration in
the afternoon. The stalwarts from across the country demonstrated their surgical skills through educative
videos on different techniques on Reconstructive Urology, Andrology and Female Urology. The delegates
could see rare procedures like Kenneth Kropp Procedure, Pitcher Potter Procedure, Al Ghorab Shunt and so on.
It seemed again that the delegates never wanted to move from their seats for fear of losing them. Both academic
halls were jam packed throughout the 4 hours of academic sessions. Full credit to Dr. Sabnis and his academic
team for crafting an excellent program, which has now become a routine in ASU meetings. The welcome
dinner on 10th July was held at Hotel Taj.
The academic program of SZUSICON 2015 started on 11th July 2015 with the prestigious Prof. H. S. Bhat
Oration by Prof. Syam K Ramesh, Thiruvananthapuram and Khivraj Memorial Symposium moderated by
Prof. Suresh Bhat, Kottayam. For the first time, in a zonal conference, video conferencing was attempted; 4
video conferences were held with Dr. Ramajayanthi from USA (Long Term Complications of Posterior
Urethral Valves), Dr. K.Subramonian from UK (Management of Difficult Ureteral Strictures), Dr. Mahesh
Desai from Nadiad (Tips and Tricks in Urology) and Dr. Parthasarathy from Coimbatore (Technology Update
for Urologists) talking live to the audience. This was a unique experience to the delegates and many believed
that this would probably be the future of our conferences in the years to come
There was a Guest Lecture namely Artificial Kidney, where in the speaker Prof. Ganesh Gopalakrishnan,
Coimbatore mesmerized the delegates with his vast research on this topic and demonstrating the latest
technological advancements in RRT. Many feared that the future of kidney transplantation was bleak if these
gadgets were to get popularised. Prof Ravisankar Uro Radiology Quiz conducted by AMVC Raju of
Bhimavaram was a unique academic exercise to the post graduates to horn their skills. The posters were
presented as E Posters in 4 plasma screens which were running on all the 3 days of conference. 134 Scientific
Papers were presented throughout the conference in podium, video and poster sessions, which were all selected
after preliminary screening
The AGM was held in the evening and probably this could be recorded as the shortest AGM in the history of the
society. Every single decision was taken by the house unanimously in double quick time and the entire AGM
lasted for hardly 1 hour! The unity among the members would be worth appreciated
The inaugural ceremony of SZUSICON 2015 was held at 7.00 PM. The president of ASU, Prof. K
Thiyagarajan presided over the function and the Guest of Honour was Dr. T. Ravi Raju, Vice Chancellor of Dr.

USICON 2016
The 49th annual conference of the Urological society of India is being held at Hyderabad between 7th-10
January 2016. I had received an overwhelming response to the call for abstracts and the scientific committee
has selected 599 papers to be presented in various categories. I thank the members who have helped me in the
process of selecting the papers for presentation. This year we are having a galaxy of international speakers
sharing their experiences with us. The organizing committee has put in a lot of effort to make this a great
conference.
Epilogue:
The Urological Society of India is growing in strength every year and it is not easy for us professionals to take
care of the day to day requirements of the members. We need to look towards technology to help us in this. One
proposal was to go digital in all our communications and do away with printing of newsletter. Currently we
have done away with the printing of the newsletter which is now completely online. This has saved a lot of
money for the society. The present council has been working to establish systems in the running of the society.
We have continued to promote academic and educational activities for the residents & its members. The Board
of Education-USI is now in place and actively involved to take this responsibility. It has been a pleasure
working as a team with the Office bearers of USI, President, President-Elect, Immediate Past President and
Honorary Treasurer, all the members of Governing Council and the officials of Central Office-USI Mrs. Kiran
Arora& Mr. Navneet Arora. The guidance from the senior and junior members has been of immense value and
of great help in execution of my duties. I am thankful to each and every one of you for giving me this
opportunity to serve this wonderful organization.
