Bhavnagar Information Technology
Association (BITA) is planning to hold its elections this month. It
is a practice that the association follows after every two years. The
main agenda for the election this year would be the service issues of
members across Baroda. “Being the President for the last two years
I have given my best towards contributing for the association. This
year also, I will propose that the members select the appropriate
president for the betterment of the association,” said Utsav
Parekh, President, BITA.

criteria
for the position of the president is very important to the
members. The association does not believe in age of an
individual because according to them experience in the IT field is
what matters the most. While discussing about the age criteria for
the association members, Govind Betharia, Immediate Past President,
BITA commented, “We are keen to involve young people in our
association and are expecting the applications as well. But I think
generally the experience does matter when the nominations are
considered because they are given more priority.” The current list
of members includes around three-four members in the age criteria of
40-50 years barring the rest who are below 40. BITA has a nominal fee
of Rs 500 towards admission in the association for one year.
Surprisingly, the association has maintained a rule that members have
to register for a period of two years, for a fee of Rs 1000.

The current 78 members will choose
candidates from the applicants who nominated their names for the
election this year. The association has successfully registered 15
members in the past two years.

Rajesh Dhanan, VP, BITA said that he
would be delighted to be re-elected as the VP of BITA for another
term. Sharing his views, Betharia stated that they will make sure
that the newly elected members would give special attention to the
service issues faced by the dealers in Gujarat, as they want 100
percent resolution of the same.
