               Sub:Hosting 2017 XX TAPC chapter annual conference for two days-request,regarding


I am happy to inform you that Department of Microbiology,RMC,Kakinada will host the IAMM XX TAPC chapter annual conference on 28th and 29th January 2017 at Kakinada.

In this regard I would like to put forward a change in the organisation of CME and Conference.I have been attending all the conferences of IAMM state chapter since its inception.It is my observation that three days of CME and Conference is not properly being utilised by PGs and Faculty. All the participants are going away after they finish their papers/presentations.There are regular  zonal CMEs of UHS going on all over the State.

I have planned to organise CME and Conference for two days on 28th and 29th January 2017.
I am herewith enclosing the tentative schedule for the same.

This is for your information and acceptance to proceed with the preparations.

Yours Sincerely

K.R.L.Surya Kirani
