FOR THE URGENT ATTENTION OF MEMBERS
GREEN INITIATIVE
(IMS desires to go paperless)
As is now known probably to all, the Ministry of Corporate
Affairs (MCA) has taken a “Green Initiative in Corporate Governance”
(Circular No. 17/2011 dated 21.04.2011 and Circular No. 18/2011 dated 29.04.2011)
allowing paperless compliances by Corporate India through electronic mode.
This is a welcome move as it will benefit the society at large through reduction
in paper consumption and contribution towards a greener environment.
Though Indian Mathematical Society is not a part of corporate India,
it is an organization of highly qualified intellectuals which greatly appreciates
this move by Government of India and IMS Members will be happy to learn that
the Council of our Society willingly decided on its own to take lead by
participating in this noble cause. Accordingly,
the Society proposes to send IMS News Letters, Member’s Free Copy of The
Mathematics Student (from 2011 issue onwards) and any other member
communications henceforth to the members in electronic form to their email
address registered* by the members with the Society instead of sending them
in physical form .
It may please be noted that the IMS News Letters and Contents of The Mathematics
Student will continue to be available on the Society’s website
www.indianmathsociety.org.in
and a physical copy of The Mathematics Student will continue to be
available at the
The IMS Library
(Ramanujan Institute of Advanced Study in Mathematics,
Madras University, Chennai) as well as at the Registered Office of the Society
(Center for Advanced Study in Mathematics, S. P. Pune University, Pune–411 007)
for reference during office hours.
Society looks forward to the support from all the IMS Members in this
initiative for the noble cause.

copy of the pdf file of their article (water marked as Author's copy)
