Confed-ITA executive committee meeting was held recently at Dindigul. At the
meeting, it was decided that new office bearers of Confed-ITA will be nominated
by the second week of November.
During the meeting, president and members of the association voiced their
concerns over the slow progress of the SOUL project. Members insisted that all
the vendors should implement the SOUL project and the modus operandi should be
best left to each vendor that will suit the company's system and practice. Also
discussed were efforts at approaching the vendors to persuade them to implement
the SOUL project.
Confed-ITA had insured its members of Rs 2,00,000 for accidental
deaths/disablement and Rs 50,000 for hospitalization expenses due to accidents.
At the meeting, it was proposed to increase the insurance cover to Rs 3,00,000
and Rs 1,00,000. In addition to this, possibility of providing mediclaim cover
to all Confed-ITA members was also explored.
At the meeting, a report was submitted by Gopalakrishnan, Partner, Emerald
Inffosys, Coimbatore, and a member of Coimbatore Information Technology
Association (CITA), to explore the possibility of Confed-ITA becoming an
Arbitration Council under the Micro Small and Medium Industries Development Act.
If Confed-ITA becomes such a body, payment issues between vendors/dealers and
between Confed-ITA members, pending beyond 45 days, can be solved at Confed-ITA
level.
The third summit of Confed-ITA will be held between Dec 19-20, 2009 at Yercau,
Moonar.
