after changing its name from Jharkhand Computer Dealer's Welfare
Association (JCDWA) to Jharkhand Computer Dealer's Association
(JCDA), the reformed association has filed for registration with the
local governing body. The change of the name was prompted by dubious
nature of the previous abbreviated form, JCDWA, whereby, according to
Moti Singh, secretary, JCDA, locals used to get confused with the
name of association with club and cricket association.
“
our dealings with Confederation of IT Associations (CITA) regarding
membership and the meeting during the formation phase, we decided to
go for a name change as well as register it,” said Singh. JCDA has
been keen to join CITA, but on account of it being non-registered,
the local association had to forego the opportunity in the first
phase of confederacy. The present strength of the association is 50
members whereas 150 potential members are in Ranchi alone.
said that once the association gets registered, JCDA will venture
into a membership expansion spree and increase its base in the city
and neighboring areas like Hazaribagh. “We were facing many
problems with the association within the structure as it was not
registered. We could not implement policies, impose dictums or decide
over issues as JCDWA was not legal,” added Singh. However, with the
registration likely to come by March, 2012, JCDA is planning to opt
for 'organized way' of functioning. Previously, there was a lack
of unity and solidarity among the members as it was not government
recognized, but with the registration, JCDA is likely to take up
issues of channel partners with distributors, vendors and inter-trade
disputes within the legal fold. Presently, JCDA has 4 office bearers
and an executive board comprising 8 members. It is likely to get
bifurcated after the registration process is over.
