Dr. Shrinivas Rao
Dear Seniors, Friends and Colleagues,
Together with my colleagues at the Gujarat Orthopaedic Association I extend my warm greetings to all of you.
I am humbled, honored and privileged to assume the role of President of the Gujarat Orthopaedic Association. Indeed, the growth of the Association has been propelled by the individuals who were Past Presidents, Executve Committee members and others collectively. I look forward to continuing their important work towards fulfilling the mission of GOA. I am lucky to have a team of very enthusiastic, dependable colleagues who will leave no stone unturned to give their best.
Our Executive Committee has declared this year's Presidential Theme as "Building Bones, Strengthening Bonds".This theme is in consonance with the Presidential Theme of the Indian Orthopaedic Association.
In pursuance of this theme we intend to have half a day academic treatise on Osteoporosis, hold lectures by our members in schools, colleges and geriatric groups, and involve groups like NetProFaN and Indian Dietetic Association for various activities. These programs will be spread over the year and will be conducted by all the Zonal chapters covering the whole of Gujarat.
We also intend to intensify the membership drive so as to rope in more and more of our professional colleagues who are yet to be enrolled.
We are examing the feasibility of starting a state travelling fellowship for our young surgeons.
Meanwhile, needless to say, your suggestions are welcome any time. Me and my colleagues in the Executive Committee are just a phone call away.
Once again, I stand humbled and am fully aware of the shoes I am stepping in to and I pray that you strengthen my hands to steer our Association in a way that all of you deem fit.
Wishing you all a great, fullfilling and fun fillled year
Dr Shrinivas Rao

It is an absolute privilege and pleasure to take up the post of the Secretary of Gujarat Orthopedic Association.
The adage of Spiderman always reminds me,
“With great power, comes great responsibility.” I fully understand the tasks and challenges ahead of us and I do convey my deep gratitude to all the respected seniors and dear colleague friends to repose faith in my capabilities. We will always be working in unison and I will confess that we are so gratified to have a wonderful set of efficient and effervescent Executive Committee team members.
We have had our pioneers, the torch-bearers who have created a foundation of our association; we have had passionate academicians and administrators who have nurtured this organisation and it is for the current and future generations to take Gujarat Orthopedic Association to bigger, better, bolder heights. We need to ensure continuity and consistency along with an open mindset to accommodate innovations and changes.
Reinforcing the theme of the President of Indian Orthopedic Association - ‘Strong Bones, Stronger Nation’ , our GOA President Dr. Shrinivas Rao has aptly selected
‘BUILDING BONES, STRENGTHENING BONDS’ as the theme which will reverberate and resonate the same principles.
My immediate predecessors Dr. Kamlesh Devmurari and Dr. Navinbhai Thakkar have done fabulous work and upgraded the memberships and other information data. This in an ongoing onerous task which will need a lot of support and help from all regional/ zonal/ city chapters whom we plan to make regular affiliates during this year. This is for smoother communication and coordination for all the activities and events of our parent association- GOA.
I am always open for ideas and suggestions to improve and enhance our association. Please do keep them pouring in.
I seek your blessings for the endeavours which we all plan to fulfil and make our association stronger.
