I'm pleased to be write on the occasion of the new Council website launch. We have been working for many months on the redesign of our site, our efforts have been helped immeasurably by the comments, suggestions, and feedback from all our members. Registration, Renewal, communication, and Payment have been manual and tedious to our council so far. Our new web site includes member self-service, On-line Payment Gateway and SMS access in one seamless Web-based system. This system has been designed with web security issues in mind and has been accredited by international web security agencies (SSL certification) to protect the data and online payments. This eliminates costly Record keeping efforts, enables you to renew your registration, apply for good standing certificate, etc., with out having to travel to council office. A robust secure authentication system has been designed used to avoid fraud and mischief. Now the Credit points will be acquired will be accounted in individual depository which can be accessed by individual and the same will enable them to produce for renewal which is mandatory by Central Government notification.

I want to thank all those who contributed to the launch of our new website -- Dr. Haren Pandya , Dr. Bhavesh Modi , Dr. Mandar Navlekar , Dr. S.K. Dewan , Dr. Sunita Garg , Dr. Prafful P. Doshi and Mr.Gaurang.R.Patel ( Registrar) it is truly a significant 'upgrade' from our original site.

Enjoy exploring the new site!
