Dear Georgians,

I took over as President of the OBA on 05 Feb 2008 from Col (Retd) KR Nair.  At the outset I would like to thank you all for the trust and confidence reposed in me. I sincerely seek your guidance and active co-operation to carry out the tasks and goals set out for the year.

It is for each of us to introspect singly and collectively and contribute our mite in all and every facet that can bring laurels and glory to our alma mater.

It is not in the Georgian sprit to lament, procrastinate and criticize.  We have been taught to lead from the front with a do or die spirit, never asking what we can do for others and to society at large.

Commendable examples of this spirit has been shown by several Distinguished Georgians in  Defence, Civil and in the field of industry and enterprise.

I call on and all of you to restore the glory and redefine the mission and vision of the OBA in the new era which our country has embarked upon.   Primary areas to be addressed are.

• Broad basing our membership, and every member should make it a point to enlist one new member to OBA;

1. Chapters at various states and districts should be revitalized, purposive  meetings held and the Georgian spirit re-kindled.
