ANNUAL REPORT OF JMCSA 2019-21
Time flies. It feels like only yesterday when we embarked on our tenure as union members by the oath-taking ceremony on 5th September, 2019. Now if we match it with the current date, it has been 2 years which sound like a vast span of time for a union. Sadly, a major part of it was occupied by the unprecedented COVID-19.
While we were excited and motivated to bring our innovative ideas to life and organise extravagant events when we were in the pre-COVID era, but some of these remained as just plans due to the virus which bounded us to remain indoors for a significant part of our tenure. But we hope that the succeeding union will carry forward these ideas and turn them into a reality.
As we come towards the end of our long tenure, we sat down to reflect on what we did in this period. And we were quite proud on accomplishing so many things in spite of the difficulties and uncontrollable events of COVID-19.
Here is a short compilation of the events and our accomplishments that we are extremely proud of:

Long live, JMCSA ! !
