The new core team being led by Mr. Narender Chawla started taking charge and shaping the things in their way from this day. The whole emphasis was to continue the good practices introduced and brought by Mr. Rajesh Garg and other previous presidents with their teams; And to introduce new and effective ways of performing things.
The first step was to form Executive Committee. The Team tried to introduce some new members and to gain benefits from the experience of veteran members also. For this purpose some new members were taken into the EC and the experienced members were put in a special council for advising the team on certain special issues and occasions. The idea was to let the team learn routine tasks itself and to seek specialized help in specialized events.
