AROICON 2022, New Delhi - 1st December, 2022 at 6 PM
  1. The meeting was convened with the Permission of Chairman ICRO-Dr.Satyajit Pradan at the Ashoka Hall of Manekshaw Auditorium at 6.00 pm, and all the respected members were welcomed by Dr V.Srinivasan, Secretary ICRO. Those who were not the members of ICRO were asked to leave the hall politely.
  2. Dr Vineeta Goel stressed upon cost cutting of ICRO courses, and suggested that these courses may be held at low budget halls/ auditoriums of medical colleges. She also suggested to make the ICRO courses more user friendly and practical by incorporating workshops and interactive sessions. This was supported by all the members.
  3. Dr Sarbani Ghosh Laskar opined in the house that it is becoming difficult to conduct the workshops/ courses due to paucity of funds and lack of financial assistance. She suggested to generate corpus for the same.
  4. It was unanimously agreed in the house that there is lack of interest in post PGs for PRODVANCE courses as was informed by Dr G V Giri. Since the attendance in PRODVANCE has not been satisfactory as evident in last few courses, it was also suggested by him whether the number of courses may be reduced to two and allotted to different zones by rotation. However, it was decided that since the four courses have already been allotted for the year 2023, a decision for 2 vs 4 courses in 2024 will be taken after seeing the enthusiasm of participation.
  5. 5. Another reason for low attendance was suggested by Dr Rajesh Vashistha that the low participation is also because of late release of information/ brochure due to which it becomes logistically difficult for participants to attend. He has requested that henceforth, the brochure of ICRO programs must be released and circulated at least two months in advance.
  6. All the members unanimously agreed to the discussion and suggestions.
  7. Dr Abhishek Basu, in continuation of this discussion suggested that participants from all four zones may be allowed to attend PRODVANCE courses in any zone as per their convenience and comfort as this will increase the number of participations. This was agreed by all.
  8. Dr Ashutosh Mukherjee suggested incorporating Physics/ Biostatistics/ Research Methodology in future PRODVANCE courses which was agreed upon by members.
