About MAMCOS

MAMCOS was conceptualized in 1971 and Dr. P.S.Saharia, Dr. Narrotam Puri, Dr. L.D.Sota, Dr. Vijay Aggarwal, Dr. I.S.Bal and many other stalwarts put together their resources and organized a play which had donor tickets and the proceeds went for blankets for the patients at Irwin Hospital. In 1972 a dinner was held on 30th April, as the second get together.

Subsequently the activities were given up for lack of enthusiasm and MAMCOS was hibernating! In 1982 over cocktails (where else can such sweet ideas nurture!!) organized for Dr. Ashok Vaid’s wedding, Dr. Sota was once again stimulated to revive MAMCOS.

Finally the initiatives of Dr. Ashok Vaid, Dr. Sota, Dr. Upendera Gami, Dr. Narrotam Puri, Dr. Vijay Aggarwal, Dr. Sudershan Vaid, Dr. Prem Aggarwal, Dr. K.K. Katyal and the patron ship of Dr. D.S.Aggarwal the MAMCOS was reawakened in Oct. 1986.

This paved the way for the annual get together and dinner on 20th December of every year.

  Thus dear friends MAMCOS is an unique alumnus organization which has grown from strength to strength on the vision of its founding fathers and the dedication of its ever dynamic executive. But friends this will not be possible for without the active support of EVERY member of MAMCOS. So please strengthen your fraternity by turning up at functions contributing through ideas and some self-less service. There are some important tasks which will require cooperation from any one and every-one in terms of time, money, resources and ideas.

• Compiling data on the Members and taking out a MAMCOS directory. The last one was in1999 so it’s over 10 years old and due for renovation!!
• Sorting out facilitation of sending MAMC students abroad and putting in place a hassle free mechanism so beauraucracy doesn’t spoil careers of youngsters.
• Getting the younger (Between 5-10 years of passing out) generation involved in all activities. So let us all pledge ourselves that we shall make this organization so strong that we are a role model for all colleges and we become institutionalized for any decision making capacity of the college.
