I am writing to you for the first time after taking over as President of the Oxford and Cambridge Society of India last month. I wish to thank you all for the confidence reposed in me.
We had an engaging first meeting of the Executive Committee on 2nd October 2020 and I have requested all the office bearers and Members of the Committee to come up with their suggestions based on which we will prepare a blueprint of the activities in the first year.
My name is Uday Walia and I’m the new President of the Society for a term of two years. For those of you who don’t know me, I was at Peterhouse, Cambridge (BA Law 1996 and LLM 1997). The new Executive Committee was elected unopposed, which I’d like to believe is not a symptom of your apathy but of the enormous faith you have in all of us.
I would like to begin with a big thank to the past president Shashank Vira and the outgoing committee for having done a wonderful job, and handing over the reins of the society in such perfect order.
It was encouraging to witness in the last annual general body meeting, a growing interest amongst many members to join the executive committee, that led to an unprecedented and exciting election.
This is an important communication, so please do have patience and read to the end!
The Annual General Meeting of the Oxford and Cambridge Society of India (OCSI) shall be held in New Delhi on 3rd September 2016. The Notice and agenda papers for the AGM will be sent out to members in August. Do block the date in your calendars nonetheless.
Greetings for Independence Day, just gone by, and the festive season that is rapidly descending upon us.
As you may be aware, the new office bearers and executive committee of the Society were elected at the recent Annual General Meeting held on 26th July 2014, as below, for a two-year term (2014-2016):
