This facility will help PG students and members to discuss their research papers and get guidance and mentoring from some of the best teachers of our zone. The Web based SMS Package of our zone has been operational and has been greatly appreciated by all members. The facility has improved member communications and information dissipation. New Awards were instituted in the Names of past Presidents of IPS. The latest being IPS Nagpur and Dr I K Mujawar Poster Session Award.
