Comments on: Letter to all OCs – from BM Singh https://oca.marketingsavvy.dev/2011/04/letter-to-all-ocs-from-bm-singh/ OLD COTTONIANS ASSOCIATION Fri, 10 Oct 2025 13:59:07 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 By: Ashok Goyal (I) 1965-72 https://oca.marketingsavvy.dev/2011/04/letter-to-all-ocs-from-bm-singh/#comment-7037 Sun, 24 Apr 2011 15:57:18 +0000 http://oldcottonians.org/magazine/?p=2382#comment-7037 congrats Mr. B.M. Singh on your appointment as the President of OCA. Its the first step in the right direction. OCA needs to fix the tenure of its President, what ever it may be. It will bring in new people with fresh ideas. Furhter, I feel the OCA should give suggestions regarding the formation of the Regional Chapters and then take opinions from the members.

Wishing you the best

At the out-set, my congratulations!
1. As far as the Chapters go ,Yes! other Chapters, dormant and new have to be activated. Am sure there are Cottonians all over – Kolkata, Lucknow, Chennai Hyderabad, Bangluru and the likes.
2. These must be kept autonomous financially and aided if required to set them up.
3. The Constitution of the OCA be re-framed.
4. OCA (INDIA) be renamed OCA (Worldwide)
5. Mr Anand be Designated the Patron, in view of the yeoman service.
6. All chapters be involved in the functioning of the OCA, by incorporating elected members of the chapters. (On this I have submitted my views to Mr Devinder Jhaaj, when asked for my inputs
Best wishes

Under his umbrella the OCA is ready to come together on all fronts, beating aside many questions and doubts which many OC’s had towards the OCA, earlier to his selection. Being a neutral and an experienced bureaucrat I am sure OCA would expand beyond all regional frontiers and excel as one single largest association of Old students in the world. I wish him all the very best with an assurance of full co-operation from my side.

Your letter is inspiring. May God Bless You . A change is always good.
With your caliber BM the OCA will grow from strength to strength.
I very much second the proposal made by Dr. Santokh Singh that Mr. Gur Partap Singh Sahi be inducted
on to the Board. Warm regards and good wishes. ‘ Long Live the OCA another colourful 100 Years”
At Mumbai you have Mr S.S. Ahluwalia I-’56 to ably support OCA in that region.

Congrats. Agree with the content and spirit of your letter. My view is to assist the school as & when they need help and ASK for it OR if we find that things are going haywire – then interfere as a member of the Board. Let not OCA become intrusive.
