Members felt that , as the cost of the medals (gold and silver) is raising, the raised amount is needed.   For the prizes already instituted, the donors will be contacted if they can contribute any extra amount to their prizes.  Three new proposals for prizes by Dr. Satyavani, Dr. P. Sreenivasulu Reddy  and Dr. Apparao, for the prizes in the Free paper category under various sections (like Mycology , Virology,  Immunology etc). They were advised to submit the proposals with guidelines and exact sections under which the prizes are being proposed.  
5.       Number Of Judges For Prize Paper Sessions : Dr. Nagamani , Professor and Head of Gandhi Medical College, proposed that three judges  are needed for all the prize category presentations to avoid any issue of bias. The members accepted the proposal. She also proposed that the biodata of the donors (or in whose name the prize was instituted),  shall be read before the respective prize session. So far, it is being done only for Dr. K.Rajyalakshmi Memorial Oration. It is accepted to extend the honor to all other prize categories.
6.       Representation to increase the faculty number in medical colleges : All the members unanimously agreed to submit a representation to national body and MCI regarding the need for increase in the faculty position as the microbiology faculty are involved in various activities like IDSP, HIV Testing , SRLs, CD4, viral load assays etc under NACO to cite few. The existing faculty, who are already in the teaching and hospital diagnostics are overburdened if only MCI minimum requirements are considered. Hence, there is a need for increase in the faculty and a representation to that effect shall be submitted  to MCI and National body of IAMM.
7.       The  present executive body is completely dissolved and a new executive body is formed with a consensus in the general body meeting.
