Dr. Amrut Vora   (Past President)

Congratulations to you all involved in the creation of the website for our beloved association. Kutchi Medicos, lovingly known as KMA was created in late eighties about forty years ago with certain ideas. A large number of young doctors had graduated around that time. They persuaded the seniors who were also having similar aspirations, to form the medical association. We all wanted to retain "Kutchiat", the ethos of the people having origins in the Kutch. We kutchis love to gather together with or without reason. At least that was the trend in those years. These gatherings were instrumental in life for future developments. While youngsters would get precious guidance and encouragement from the seniors, they in turn would get satisfaction and reorganization. With the strong pillars of solidarity, the association developed a scientific, cultural and social character. Regular scientific meets on practically all branches of medicine and equally regular social and cultural events are the testimony of what the KMA did for the members and society at large.

The association has been presided by very able presidents who all have kept the basic character of the association intact and thriving. Very few associations have as many members as we have. Sadly, many more could have been part of this lovely family. As time passes, associations tend to degenerate. But not KMA ! It is thriving and kicking alive! To that I may add on the note of great pleasure that many junior members have actively come together to aid and strengthen the association. Here, I may venture to foresee a robust and ever-growing association as the time passes. On this occasion I wish the project all that is best and MANGALMAY !.

Dear Medicos,

It has been a pleasure to have been associated with you for a while. Gives me immense pleasure to serve the community under the guidance of senior professionals. The kind of work done in the association is beyond compare. Service being the only motto for the doctors who make time out from their busy practices to do the only thing which touches humanity and that is humble service!

In my recent few years with KMA we have successfully completed medical and dental treatment camps, attended lectures, cultural events, adventurous picnics and so on. The learning curve is a continuous one and I would request more and more doctors to come forth and be a part of the association to give back to our society.The work done here touches numerous lives and eventually you go back home a happy person because you know you did something right.

Recently attached as a committee member heading the website project, for the PR committee, a Co-Convener for Cultural events. To mention that the journey has just begun. Looking forward to continue serving for the longest time.
