New Chairlady

We would like to welcome Shivani Chaddha as the new chair lady for

History, Culture and Tours.

Membership fee

Ladies-in view of the rising costs across board we are considering increasing the annual membership fees to ₹3500 from the next Indus year. The chair ladies are consistently presenting one wonderful meeting after another and it's difficult to manage with the current budgets we have in hand. We hope you will support us in this effort.

Fellowship

Anyone who would like to volunteer to help at the fellowship or to give a monetary contribution, please contact the Vice Presidents.
