It gives me an immense pleasure to hold the responsibility of President, Indian Public Health Association, Maharashtra Chapter for the tenure April 2021 to March 2024. My self and all members of the new executive committee, propose to strengthen the activities of IPHA, Maharashtra state chapter and improve the visibility of the association in the state. We assure all the members of IPHA, to sustain all the activities ongoing at present times as well as to initiate few new activities which would be able to create interest in the subject of public health amongst medical students and new entrants in the field through allied branches. Extending technical support and capacity building of the functionaries working in Public Health sector will be the priority focus, which is revealed in the ongoing pandemic of Covid 19.

                Quarterly newsletter of IPHA, Maharashtra branch is now supported by UNICEF, Field Office, Maharashtra state. It will continue with good quality presentation artwork along with incorporating good quality manuscripts from experts in the field as well as from faculties and PG students of Community Medicine in medical colleges. Newsletter hard copy prints are dispatched to all medical colleges in the state as well to all DHOs, Civil Surgeons, Officials in Directorate of Health services, Public Health Departments in Local Self Governments and NGOs active in the field of Public Health.

                IPHA is already providing research grants to the 5 UG students from all over the state, every year. From this year onwards, we have introduced Research Grant for 5 PG students with financial support from UNICEF. Announcement of these research grants is regularly made in the newsletter.  We would like to make strong appeal to all stakeholders to motivate UG and PG students to apply for these research grants. On behalf of Executive Committee, I would like to make an appeal to the faculties and senior officers in Directorate of Health Services to submit articles for this quarterly newsletter.

                Academic meets, seminars, workshops will be held from time to time along with annual conference in collaboration with IAPSM, State chapter.

                Strength of any organization is visible in its membership base. We would like to make an appeal to the faculties and officials in Public Health Department and Directorate of Health Services to become life members of this professional organization and support the growth of the organization.

                Public health encompasses very wide range of activities and identifies scope to excel in many directions with focus on Universal Health Coverage.  So let’s respect IPHA philosophy i.e. Involving into People’s Health Always.
