Secretary's Message

Crest fallen with the unexpected passing away of Dr. Meera Banik our beloved ex President ... End of an era...!!
Life is either a great adventure or nothing... quoted the great Hellen Keller!

The news of passing away of our ex-president Dr. Meera Banik came as a shock and disbelief especially after her great presence and lively countenance in the Executive Committee meeting held just two days before. We are left crest fallen and speechless. We all at Aaina miss you so much madam… the emptiness still continues! It’s a personal loss to me as I lost a great teacher, guide, friend and motherly figure!! I join with my colleagues and esteemed members in praying God to rest the great soul in Peace!!
