Singhal was elected as the President of CMDA and the four office
bearers were already elected un-opposed two weeks prior to the CMDA
elections scheduled on March 27. Hence, there was no suspense
surrounding that on the day of the election. The only suspense left
was the election of the seven Executive Council members, where only
eight people were contesting for. The voting process was held at two
venues in the day and the results were declared in the evening. Out
of the registered 94 members only 53 people turned out to cast their
votes at the respective venues. Perhaps one of the primary reasons
behind this is that, thesedays members do not get too much time to
get into the nitty-gritty of the associations' matters and hence
refrain themselves from casting vote.
now the elected Executive Council members consist of Anoop Kumar of
Modcare Enterprises receiving the maximum number of votes (49 votes),
Rajeev Mohan of Internatialnal Computer Resources (47 votes),
Rajeshwar Tiwari of Softek Office Products (45 votes), Kuldeep Singh
of Ascent Information Systems (47 votes), Kuldeep Kalra of Vikel
Business Corporation (45 votes), Hemant Grover of Total Solutions (41
votes) and Girish Bharti of Bharti Coated Papers (47 votes). Anil
Ahuja (20 votes) of Brite Technologies received the least number of
votes and hence failed to secure his position in the Executive body.
Ahuja had been serving CMDA for eight years in a row now.
Khanna, Secretary, CMDA spoke at length about the election process
they adopted on the election day. “We followed a full proof and
transparent procedure during the elections. The association even made
a list of all the members in order to verify them. And the moment the
members casted all the seven votes of their choice on the ballot
paper, we cut the bottom of the ballot paper and put it inside the
ballot-box.”
elected members comprise both ex-members as well as first timers. One
such newcomer in CMDA is Hemant Grover of Total Solutions. He spoke
to The DQ Week about his plans and visions for the association during
his tenure. He added, “To begin with I would like to consolidate
and update the website that we created last year. Updating it would
not be enough, we also need to use it as a market tool for the media
market in Delhi. At the moment, the media dealers are scattered all
over the capital.” But on the other hand, last year there were some
members who wanted to pass on their responsibilities to others as
they had not been able to take out time for association work. “During
the last term I was the Treasurer, but this time I did not contest
because its high time I should concentrate on my business more.
Moreover, the job of a Treasurer involves a lot of cash handling. It
was getting too much for me to handle so much money,” noted SK
Agarwal of Micromax Media.
association was hoping that a young brigade of new entrants would take
over the leadership this year.
