Dr. Anand Tavargeri presented the statement of accounts as on 31-3-07. Prof. Kidiyoor questioned why the  interest rate was so low. Principal Prof. C. Bhasker Rao suggested changing the branch where FD was kept.
Dr. Sunil Cherian questioned what was done with the money accumulated as interest. Dr. Achut stated that expenses went into conducting working of the association.
Dr. Sunil Cherian asked why the money was not used for the swimming pool? Dr. Achut answered that the FD money cannot be used since it is considered as the parent fund. And it is mentioned in the constitution that the parent fund money can be used only for the association charitable activities.
Dr. Achut also mentioned about the difficulties he faced while raising the large funds for swimming pool
Dr. Achut asked the members whether the swimming pool project should be taken, as there was very poor response from the members for donating the fund for swimming pool.
When Prof. K.H.Kidiyoor suggested that we should take up the swimming pool project since our beloved principal Prof. Bhasker Rao has kept faith in members and stated that it may take some time to collect the money. He also urged all the members to make contributions for the swimming pool project.
Dr. Satyabodh announced that so far Rupees 1,29,665/- was collected and the proposed budget for the project is 45 lakhs.
Prof. C. Bhasker Rao suggested that small contributions like Rs. 2000/- from all the 2000 members would come up to the expected budgets.
Dr. Sunil Cherian suggested making the State representative get in touch with all local alumni members.
Dr. Satyabodh Guttal suggested that having co-ordinators batchwise rather than regionwise would be better. Dr. Sunil Cherian agreed to the suggestion given.
Even Dr. Dayakar MM and Dr. Sanjay Ganeshkar suggested the same to have batchwise connectivity.
Dr. Sunil Cherian said he would contribute that day itself through cheque.
                                                                      Date for next meet
Dr. Shakeel Anjum suggested combining the function with SDMCDS silver jublee dates i.e. Oct-Nov 2011.
                                                  Fixing honorarium for accountant
As per rules of income tax, the association needs to have one accountant and one CA. Mr. Hirelal had given the request letter to fix the honorarium of Rs. 5000/- P.A.
Principal asked whether so much work is there and if it is feasible. Hence Dr. Kidiyoor said Rs. 2000/- should be fixed.
                                   Felicitation of Alumni who have excelled in their field.
Dr. Achut suggested having a committee that decides whom to be awarded.
