History of J.D.O.S
(As narrated by Professor Emeritus Dr. R. K. Mishra to Dr. Ravin N. Das on May 28, 2004, additional inputs from Dr. S. C. Batalia and Dr. G. D. Hoonka)
The early days...
The Divisional Societies of Bhopal, Gwalior, Indore, Raipur and Rewa were the single handed result of our very own Dear Professor Emeritus Dr. R. K. Mishra's efforts in fraternization with Dr. Santok Singh (Bhopal), Dr. M. C. Agarwal (Gwalior), Dr. M. L. Nahata (Indore), Dr. I. M. Shukla (Raipur) and Dr. Shrivastava (Rewa).
Dr. R. K. Mishra, at an A.I.O.S conference, was surprised to note that little or no representation could be seen at the National level from our State of Madhya Pradesh. It was from this observation that he learnt that it was absolutely necessary to form these Divisional Societies.
Taking this into consideration, along with the other four Divisional Societies was born the Jabalpur Divisional Ophthalmologial Society. That was the year 1969. Dr. R. K. Mishra, Dr. S. C. Batalia and Dr. G. D. Hoonka were the three members who formed the Jabalpur Divisional Ophthalmic Society. The first meeting of the JDOS was held at Dr. S. C. Batalia's residence.
Dr. R. K. MishraThe first meeting of the MP State Ophthalmic Society was held at Dr. S. C. Batalia's residence along with a representative from Bhopal.
Dr. S. C. Batalia was the first General Secretary, followed by Dr. P. Bhura and Dr. G. D. Hoonka.
The founder members -
- Professor Dr. R. K. Mishra (President)
- Dr. S. C. Batalia (General Secretary)
- Dr. G. D. Hoonka (member)
- Dr. Hafiz Ahmed (member)
Soon after the formation of the five Divisional Societies, the M. P. State Ophthalmological Society was formed. Your society today is more than 30 years old.
The first MPSOS conference in Jabalpur was held in the year 1971 (72 according to other sources).
Over the years...
Over the years the MPSOS and its Divisional Societies have progressed in strength and number, and a lot of quality material has been produced and displayed at the State, National and International level by the members of these societies.
Your Society has also held State Level Conferences (by rotation with other Divisional Ophthalmological Societies), Case presentations on a regular basis, Symposia, Guest Lectures, Workshops, Didactic Lectures, and CME's. On the extracurricular front, the members have also had their share of picnics.
Your Society holds monthly meetings as a rule, with very few exceptions.
Professor Dr. R. K. Mishra was awarded "Emeritus" status in the year 1995 and a felicitation family get together cum dinner was arranged on October 2, 1995 in his honour.
2000 onwards...
In the year 2001 (May) didactic lectures were started under the dynamic secretary Dr. H. S. Ray and it was decided that alternate meetings would be dedicated to such lectures and case discussions. The first didactic lecture was "Migraine - An Overview" by Dr. Ravin N. Das. Many of the other lectures following this lecture have been archived and can be found in the CME-archives section.
In the year 2004 (May) under the secretary Dr. Ravin N. Das, this web site was launched on a free host (Tripod). In November 2004 the site moved to its present location with our own domain name and server.
We hope to continue lifting our Society to higher standards at the Local, State, National and International level.
