Note: In the current scenario of global warming, continuously depleting natural resources and cost-cutting, our Samajam, too, cannot afford to lag behind. As our contribution to protecting the environment and cutting costs, we are now sending communications by e-mail only to as many members as possible. We thank you all for your whole-hearted approval of this step. Those of you who have not yet furnished their e-mail IDs are kindly requested to do so by e-mailing us at vsm.chennai@gmail.com . Kindly also include your updated Mobile Numbers and addresses if there is any change in them, so that we can ensure that all communication channels are open and functional.

Thanking you and With Warm Regards

Ramdas R. Warrier
