Opening Prayer by Mr. C. S. Murty, Secretary General

Mr. C. S. Murty, Secretary General threw open the 35^th AGM with an Opening Prayer:

Quote//

"Dear Sirs, Members on the Dais, Luminaries & Distinguished Past Presidents, Ladies & Gentlemen,

I am privileged to open the 35^th AGM with a prayer to the Almighty to make this event a grand success before I hand over the mike to the President to deliver his Welcome Address.
I pray to the Lord that let the event be conducted without any obstacles as smoothly as possible on the successful completion of 35^th year of MANSA. I am chanting certain relevant Sanskrit Slokas for instilling and invoking deep 'camaraderie' feelings on this auspicious occasion amongst all of us.
These slokas chanted depict that this body which has intellect and 10 senses – 5 higher senses & 5 lower senses known as Jnanendriyas & Karmendriyas be protected and we implore to Almighty for helping us to strengthen them for the sake of sanity and well being of humanity with humility.
The MANSA Organization has you Members as its body. The President, Vice-Presidents, the Executive Committee Members, Sub-Committees and Secretariat are like different parts/limbs of this body.
Only proper and judicious synchrony of these parts enables us to achieve the intended objective of the entire organization.

The very fact that MANSA is growing steadily indicates its health and functional ability to move forward with the times.
The Secretariat is like the hands and legs of this body. For the past couple of months we have been busy in preparation for this great event. We did our best under the circumstances with the dynamic guidance of the President, Vice-Presidents, Past Presidents and all Executive Committee Members. In the eagerness and enthusiasm to match with the speedy progress, we have to admit that the Secretariat might have committed some errors or did not rise to the levels of expectations which may kindly be excused with a broad mind and large heart.
It is heartening to say that Capt. V. S. Anand has topped the list of contributors towards getting sponsors for today's function. It is really noteworthy that all the Executive Committee Members and others have enthusiastically taken part and painstakingly garnered sponsorers and supporters of the event and in making this event successful.
Before I hand over the mike to the President for the Welcome Address, may I request all Members to silence their mobiles and also minds to give undivided attention to the upcoming proceedings.
Thank you.
C. S. Murty

Secretary General"

5. Activities Of MANSA for the Year 2012-2013 for deliberation

The President inquired with the Members whether they had any comments to offer regarding the Activities of MANSA which were all mentioned in the Annual Report.

Capt. Avinash Batra stated that he was supremely satisfied with the achievements of the Association and all other Members unanimously agreed to this.
President stated that he would appreciate having greater participation from the Members. Whenever Circulars are sent requesting information/suggestions etc. very few Members respond and send their comments. Capt. P. P. Singh, Past President also added very few Members notify MANSA about the problems faced by them. President desired to know how we could involve Members in the affairs of MANSA in order to get greater participation. Since no one responded, he asked Mr. C. R. Nambiar for his suggestion and Mr. Nambiar replied that the President would not accept his suggestions if he gave on contentious issues because MANSA has to be cordial with those in Authority and simultaneously cater to Members complaints which might contradict the views of the concerned Authority. He also questioned about MbPT's proposal enhancing tariffs to the extent upto 43% and numerous other unilateral decisions on cargo handling / operations against the interest of shipping. Capt P. P. Singh added that BDLB is a big liability on MbPT Rs.250 Crores has been spent with no revenue due to reduction in Port activity drastically. President stated that we have written to TAMP and we would have to wait and see. He added that JNPT too had made a proposal to TAMP for a whopping increase and MANSA replied opposing the increase in the tariff. We have also attended the Joint Hearing convened by TAMP. President added that Guidelines have been issued by Government of India for fixation of reference tariffs by TAMP. These Guidelines are now applicable only to new Terminals which are likely to come up within Major Ports.

XV) DUTIES OF OFFICE BEARERS 1) Presidents Term: Not existing. Newly Added.	1. PRESIDENT’S TERM: Ordinarily, the President’s term shall be for a period of two years for which he is elected as an Executive Member. However, in the event, he resigns from his employment or otherwise disassociates himself with the Member Company who nominated him for MANSA Executive Committee, he will continue to remain as President provided the Member company so nominated him in the first place gives their no-objection for his continuation as the President of MANSA. Further, he can continue to be the President of MANSA even if his erstwhile employer gives a NOC, only if he is employed or otherwise joins another Member-company. Otherwise, he will cease to be the President of MANSA forthwith upon his disassociation from the Member-company. In short, his term of Presidentship with MANSA is co-terminus with his relationship with the Member-company which nominated him, the only exception will be when he joins another Member-company and also provides a NOC from the earlier Member- company which nominated him along with a similar NOC for continuation as the President from the newly joined Member-company.	As per the experience it is felt necessary to deal with the unexpected changes in the career of elected representatives, hence the amendment is suggested to cover all exigencies as far as possible. In the last few AGMs a debate was initiated about the status of the President, or, for that matter, any member of the EC, if he were to change the company, or, even start his own business as a forwarding company etc. In order to address such incidents it is felt necessary to change the “Rules” to pave the way for conducting fair elections in a system / procedure duly laid down in the Rules & Regulations after factoring all these likely scenarios and avoiding controversies as far as possible.

8. Any Other Business with the permission of the Chair

Capt. Avinash C. Batra, Chairman, M/s Seahorse Ship Agencies Pvt. Ltd. said that MANSA has been a premier Association but now a lot of new capable Associations are coming up. MANSA should surpass present profile develop expertise and step forward to have an audible voice in shipping circles. He felt that MANSA is still not a force to reckon with that could demand / command or direct the Government of India and it is required to lobby in the Ministry to be perceptibly prevailed & action oriented. It was necessary to have more visibility, force to drive decisions, widespread recognition, importance and publicity in the Press for which every month we should appear as having done/achieved something. More Members need to get involved in the affairs of MANSA. As of now definitely MANSA is doing a good job and should continue doing it.

9. Summing Up & Vote of Thanks by Capt. G. K. Sarkari, Vice-President

Since there was no other business, the meeting ended with Vote of Thanks by Capt. G. K. Sarkari, Vice-President who thanked the Fraternity of the Maritime Industry for extending its support to MANSA, enabling it to serve the Shipping Industry and Trade at large and the Shipping Agents in particular.

Some Members were of the opinion that a group of Members representing MANSA should visit him too.
There being no further issues for discussion, the AGM ended with thanks to the Chair and everyone proceeded to the Presidential Ballroom in Hotel Vivanta by Taj President, 90, Cuffe Parade, Mumbai – 400 005 for attending the Annual reception with the Cocktails and Dinner arranged from 1900 hours.
