The
President's message
It gives me immense pleasure in forwarding
this message on the occasion of IMWA resuming
its erstwhile newsletter VOICE with a new name
The New VOICE of IMWA.
In the present age of information technology,
this publication is now made web-based for
global access. |
It will serve as
a mouthpiece of IMWA and will be a focal point
of information communicated about IMWA’s
activities in the future.
I congratulate the Mass Media Cell for
taking up this important task and pray for its
success. Ameen.
