BRIEF HISTORY

IACS was born in Baroda in 1985 at a UGC sponsored national conference at The Maharaja Sayajirao Univeristy of Baroda. It was registred as a Trust and a Society in Gujarat by Charity Commissioner Vadodara in 1986 and was administred from the Registred Office in Baroda.

During the abscence of the President, Dr. Om P. Juneja, on Sabbatical Leave in Canada, Dr. Chandra Mohan, the then Secretary and others illegally amended the Constitution and took the IACS office to Delhi in 1995.

In spite of Vote of Dissent by the ousted President, a fraudulant "Certificate of Utilisation" was accepted to cover up the fraud of double accounting done by Drs. Chandra Mohan and K.R.G. Nair in 1996. Violating the FERA rules, some people opened a Bank Account in 1998 at State Bank of India branch of South Campus Delhi University.

No grants from Government of Canada are deposited in the registered Bank Account at Baroda. Life Membership fees of about 200 persons amounting to 400,000/= (Four Lakhs) are NOT deposited in the Membership Account of the Bank at Baroda since 1998. Where is this money? No one including the President, Secretary and Treasurer answer this question.

Dr. Chandra Mohan filed a "Change Report" pleading for change in the names of the Trustees as well as Amended Constitution in 1995. It was rejected and "filed" by Assistant Charity Commissioner in 1997.

Dr. O. P. Juneja, the Authorised Trustee, received notices from Charity Commissioner for non payment of dues in 2000. He asked Dr. Jameela Begum, Dr. S.S. Sharma and Dr. D.K. Pabby to present the accounts to Charity Commissioner Vadodara in 2001 and 2002. As no action was taken, he filed an affidavit in 2002.

Dr. Jammeela Begum filed the "Change Report" in December 2002 pleading for change in the names of Trustees and acceptance of the new constitution approved in 1995. Like the earlier "Chanage Report" filed by Dr. Chandra Mohan, this was rejected by Assistant Charity Commissioner Vadodara on 22.3.2006.

Dr. C.P. Ravichandra has filed an appeal against the Order of the Assistanat Charity Commissioner. This is pending before the Joint Charity Commissioener Vadodara for an Order.
