Support Future of GMCA
AMDAANA initiated a concerted effort to help our alma mater in 2003. A task force named AMDAANA Task Force for liaison with Government Medical and Dental Colleges, Amritsar India (AMDAANA TF II) was formed to develop this initiative, and we have fondly named it AMDAANA Amritsar Project.
Objective – The primary mission of AMDAANA Amritsar Project is to enhance education and patient care at our alma mater.
Plan - AMDAANA Amritsar Project is predicated on three principles – Identifying all stakeholders, networking amongst all of them worldwide and developing a true partnership amongst them for the betterment of our alma mater. The principal stakeholders are – Current faculty and students of GMCA, retired faculty and non-faculty alumni of GMCA in India, GMCA alumni in USA, UK and other countries abroad, Punjab Government and local community of Amritsar.
Networking – Besides AMDAANA in USA, UK has an alumni association named ADA. GMCA has an alumni association called Amritsar Medical College Alumni Association (AMCAA. In addition, we have identified GMCA alumni in Kenya, Malaysia, Singapore and Australia and have encouraged them to form local GMCA alumni associations. The plan is to develop a worldwide GMCA alumni network. A worldwide database will be created and maintained at GMCA AMDAANA office. Partnership – We are striving to develop a true partnership between AMDAANA, ADA, AMCAA, Punjab Government and other stakeholders listed above. The basic premise is that through this partnership we will take on joint projects and by pooling our resources, expertise and finances, we shall be able to do a better job than anyone alone.
Funding - The funds for the project will be raised from various sources as follows. AMDAANA has raised over $1,000,000 USD. The principal in this fund shall remain untouched and only the income from the endowment fund will be spent on an annual basis. Please “click here” for summary of tasks completed here.
