of India was established in 1938 at Lucknow and in previous year it has
completed the platinum jubilee celebrations (1938-2013). It is one of the
oldest and most acknowledged scientific societies of India.
Financially also, the Association has strengthened its position and the
activities of the association is spreading across the country to help nurturing
the aspirations of budding microbiologists. Large numbers of new members
have enrolled themselves with the Association and the number of life members
now stands at more than 4,000. The Association has successfully submitted
its income tax return for the assessment year 2013-14 for the first time and
got IT clearance following established norms. It annual book of accounts have
also been audited by the auditors employed by the general Body.
The Association is going international by signing MoU with many other sister
microbiology organizations from Asia, Europe and Africa for making the
relationship more formal by signing MoUs. The association is trying to make
formal MoU with six international societies of microbiology which participated
in AMI 2013 viz. American Society for Microbiology (ASM), Spain-India joint
5
scientific session of the Scientific Board of the European Section on Applied
Biocatalysis, South Africa Society of Microbiology (SASM), Japanese Society
of Enzyme Engineering (JSEE), Microbiological Society of Korea (MSK) and
Nigerian Society of Microbiology (NGM). Within the country also new units of

9. Result of the election to the Post of President-Elect- 2016 was declared by the
General Secretary which is detailed below:
Total number of Ballots Received: 101
Invalid Ballots: 02
No of votes received by respective members:
Prof. Sunil Khanna: 50; Dr. P. K. Joshi: 49
The GS informed that the counting of votes date was extended upon written request of
Dr. P.K. Joshi (Candidate, President Elect 2015) to one day so that we can get 1 more
day to receive ballots. This was approved by CC. The GS also informed the CC that he
nominated his nominee Dr. Pooja Suneja Madan, MDU Rohtak for the day of counting.
After counting of ballots was completed it was signed by all members of counting
committee and further endorsed by Nominee of Dr. Joshi. However, the other candidate
(Prof. Sunil Khanna) did not nominate anybody for this purpose and believed full faith
in Returning officer deputed by CC.
10
There were discussions about cost involved in elections, return of fewer ballots and
other issues related these days with postal delays and finally it was resolved by CC
that Prof. Sunil Khanna is elected as President Elect-2015.
During discussion on the issue for election for the post of President-Elect for the year
2016, Prof. L.V. Rao informed that the election ballots are sent to members which
involve lots of cost and time so an effective voting system should be implemented
by AMI. Further, Dr P.K. Joshi, contesting candidate for President Elect, mentioned
his views and raised few objections regarding the extending time for casting vote
which was informed by President that due to his request only the time was increased
to one day (i.e. up to 5 PM) so that maximum ballots could be made available. The
GS also mentioned that at this point if Dr. Joshi makes such comments it shows
that the support given by AMI is not acknowledged and he is not believing in AMI
system which is wrong and against the rules and regulation of AMI where by giving
membership association takes a pledge that all AMI members will respect decision
of CC and GB and will abide with Rules and Regulation of being a member. Prof.
K. Ramasamy, Vice Chancellor TNAU informed the house that since AMI CC has
approved the decision of Returning officer and the CC only appoints the Returning
officer this issue should not be discussed here and requested GB to approve this
result. He reiterated further that CC and all members of AMI should make efforts to
raise the voting percentage and adopt E-voting as approved by CC.
Further there were various deliberations from Prof. R.C. Kuhad, Prof. Ram Chandra,
Prof. Sunil Pabbi, Dr. G. Venkateshwaran, Prof. Gopal Reddy, Dr. S.K. Dash, Prof.
S.S. Dudeja, Prof. KVBR Tilak, which was indicating to adopt unified voting system
for next elections onwards.
The GB unanimously approved the decision of CC and declared Prof. Sunil Khanna
is elected as President Elect-2015.
10. While reporting on the progresses made on the ‘Revision of rules and
regulations of the Association, the GS informed the GB that the revised
rules and Regulation approved by CC are finalized by the committee under
chairmanship of Prof. R.C. Kuhad and put this for approval of GB. The Revised
nomination format also ensures the members towards their contribution for
AMI.
The GB approved the New Rules & Regulations of AMI (including Elections,
nomination format etc.) which will come into effect from 01/04/2015.
11
11. The GS put forth the approval of CC for E-Voting for Conduct of all AMI election
and deliberated a snapshot of deliverables. In the interest of AMI (in terms of
cost and time), the GB approved the E-voting for AMI and requested the GS to
inform all members through first circular.
12. The typographical errors related with IAMS (Reso. no 10) as resolved by 54th
GB held at Rohtak discussed and resolved in 3rd Central Council (C.C.) Meeting
(2014) held on 26.10.2014 as: ‘The matter about the link between CC AMI and

13. The Travel fellowships (10-15) to Ph.D. students were approved by GB as earlier
approved by CC. It was agreed that these fellowships will only be awarded as
per guidelines finalized by committee and Travel assistance (Train fare- III AC)
will be provided to selected awardees.
14. While finalizing proposal for holding the 56th Annual conference the GS informed
that Prof. Atul Johri, Professor, School of Life Sciences, JNU, New Delhi has
already presented his proposal for organizing AMI 2015 in 2nd CC meeting held
