All this is only possible because of the process of continuity ushered in by the Immediate past president and hopefully the baton will be carried forward by the current president elect in 2012. Change is the only constant fact of our lives. The current team of the office bearers and the immediate past president are fully aware of the difficult task ahead and with your support we are confident to deliver the very best to our association. All of you can individually make a difference by sparing your time and thoughts for the ASI. Let all of us begin by surfing our website www.asiindia.org at least once in a week and update your personal data. Last but not the least, I wish the IJS the very best for the new year and all of us are eagerly waiting for the time when it is indexed. Long live ASI B.K.Sinha President: ASI
