Introduction
The planned city of Chandigarh,
primarily an urban area of highly literate people,is surely but
slowly developing into an important centre of academic &
professional excellence. The PGI, the General Hospital, the
Command Hospital & now the Govt. Medical College, as well as
many private clinics & Nursing Homes have all attracted doctors
from all disciplines of Medicine to this place. This gave rise
to a thirst for latest knowledge, continued education & need for
social contacts amongst doctors. Similar need was being felt by
opthalmologists of the area to have a forum for professional &
social interaction. While other attempts aborted prematurely,
one serious attempt in 1976 proved only short lived. But in
1985, a more determined effort was made. During an informal
meeting of such luminaries as late Dr.A.D.Grover, Dr.Bhajan
Singh, Dr.O.P.Sharma, Dr.K.L.Passi, it was decided to form a
society & Dr. K.L.Passi was assigned the duty to call a meeting
for this purpose. In the convened meeting, a Constitution, based
on that of All India Ophthalmological Society with minor changes
necessitated by local conditions was adopted & accepted: office
bearers were elected & Chandigarh Ophthalmological Society came
into being on March 20, 1985.
