Bhakti Raghava Swami’s (Minister for IDVM-India) report with all the directors. Thereafter Ramsaran prabhu (Finance), Harikirtan prabhu (Rural development), Sripati prabhu (Book publications), Gour Gopal prabhu (Communications), Rama Lakshman prabhu (Secretariat), Jananivas prabhu (Media productions), and Shyam Sundar prabhu (Fund raising) submitted reports of their respective departments.
The new E.C. will present a position paper for follow-up programs and have preaching centers in Janagaon to begin with.
Resolution 1
Ramsaran prabhu requested that as he is expected to be busy with his personal work this year he cannot do justice with the responsibilities of the EC-Chairman. He therefore requested to be relieved of this.
Whereas the general body accepted the request.
Therefore, the new body is formed.
Resolution 2
Whereas the general body proposed Gourgopal das as the EC-Chairman and Rasamandal prabhu as the Vice Chairman.
Gourgopal prabhu was unanimously elected as the EC-Chairman and Rasmandal prabhu as the Vice-Chairman for one year-term.
Resolution 3
Whereas all the directors felt the need for the IDVM to have its own vehicle for various preaching activities, especially Sri Govind Gau Gram Prachar Yatra.
Therefore the EC will work to get a vehicle (second-hand) as soon as the funds are raised.
The members thanked the host Gourgopal das and family for the hospitality and nice prasadam.
