Dear Friends,
At the onset I wish you all a very happy festive season. It's now almost time to
meet our friends and associates for the annual conference of our society at
Hyderabad. I am pleased to inform you that we have received a record number of
abstracts this year. A large number of new members have also joined us this year.
This enthusiasm towards the society is a very good sign for the future of our
society.
I look forward to the Annual conference of our society being held at Hyderabad
from 17th - 20th of December 2015. I request members to attend in large numbers
and make the conference successful. The organizing committee headed by Dr. Manas Panigrahi is
working hard to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable in the city of Charminar, Pearls and
Biryani. I am sure that we will be having a great amalgamation of scientific and cultural feast in one
of the best conference centres of our country - the Hyderabad International Convention Centre.
I welcome the members from our partner society, the Russian Society of Neurosurgeons and our
guests from CNS and AASNS to Hyderabad. I am sure that the scientific program for the conference
will be uplifted this time by their active contribution to deliver a scientific feast.
The age old axiom 'time flies' is so true, I remember standing in front of you in December 2014 for
an acceptance speech as the President Elect and here I am wishing everybody a wonderful, happy
and prosperous 2016.
Looking forward to seeing you all at Hyderabad
With Warm Regards
Prof Bhawani S Sharma

NSICON 2015 Scientific Programme Prologue
Dear All
This year scientific programme has been carved out to accommodate maximum
number of presenters in platform and poster category. The number is staggering
313. This is approximately 87 papers more than last year. This speaks volumes
about the interest of participation by the members. This also necessitates
extensive and objective evaluation increase in the presentation hours and overall
expansion of scientific programme. Simultaneously the scientific committee is
conscious of living upto the expectations of members to make the programme
most contemporary and updated. Taking these things into consideration we
have structured ten Main Topic Sessions covering variety of subjects, six special lectures by various
luminaries. These are ornamented by Presidential Oration, Presidential Lecture, IAN President
Lecture and ASSI President Lecture. We have introduced Post-Lunch Plenary sessions of 75 minutes
on 18th and 19th December to extract maximum benefit for the participants.
The traditional annual orations for this year, B Ramamurthi Oration and R G Ginde Oration, are
being delivered by Prof Ali F Krisht from USA, and Prof Andrew Kaye from Australia respectively.
Further the programme has been enriched by the paraphysiology talk on integration of
neurosciences with our day to day life by the enlightened speakers. The award papers will start the
programme of the day one of our meeting. There is award posters and MCQ award activity too. All
these indicate our intention of healthy competitive knowledge acquisition commitment of society
among the younger lot. The exhaustive and careful editing of the entire programme has been done
focusing topic based presentations for the benefit of audience.
To accommodate all this, the expanded scientific programme starts at 7.45 am daily with 45
minutes lunch break. The 15 minutes tea break in the forenoon and afternoon shall continue to be
there. The detailed programme is on the website.
This whole activity will be bracketed successful if there is large participation by the members as has
been seen in the papers submitted. I salute once again to the members for their active
participation.
I welcome you all to Hyderabad.
Best wishes
Prof R C Mishra
President Elect
Neurological Society of India
Seasons Greetings
from the Secretary’s Desk...........
Friends,
December is fast approaching and it is time for us to look forward to the annual
conference of Neurological Society of India. A time to share our academic
developments with colleagues, a time to keep abreast with the latest
developments, a time to learn new skills, a time to catch up with acquaintances, a
time to renew old friendships and make new friends – in short a time of learning
and fun! Manas Panigrahi and his colleagues have been working tirelessly to get
together a bouquet of superb academic content and fantastic social activities.
This year the Russian Society of Neurosurgeons is partnering us as the friendship
Society. A record number of abstracts have been received this year. The conference is being
hosted in the world class Hyderabad International Convention Centre – possibly one of the best
convention centres in the country. All this coupled with the salubrious climate of Hyderabad are
conducive to a fantastic conference this year and I am sure that none of you would want to miss it.
Online polling for the President Elect of the Society is on and I urge all those who have not voted so
far to exercise their privilege soon. Members who have forgotten their user ID or password may
get a fresh one from the Central Office.
An NSI delegation is going to Paris later this month for the reciprocal SNCLF friendship meeting.
The Saudi Arabia Neurosurgical Society has also invited NSI to partner them in their meeting in
Riyadh next year. NSI has also been invited to partner the CNS Section of Disorders of the Spine
and Peripheral Nerves for their Annual meeting in Orlando in March 2016. All of you are requested
to participate in large numbers. The NSI Instructional course and Foundation course in GB Pant
Hospital was a big success in August this year and the next set of courses in Mumbai in January are
receiving enthusiastic support.
Here's wishing you and your families a happy festive season and looking forward to seeing you all
in Hyderabad soon.
With warm wishes
Dr V. P. Singh
Hon. Secretary
