| This Award was instituted by Mr. R. R. Bhattacharjee, one of the oldest members of the Institute, in 1995 in the memory of his beloved wife Late Minati Bhattacharjee.
Shri R. R. Bhattacharjee, Ex-Chairman, Membership Sub-Committee, in his efforts to further membership development, suggested that if members sponsoring new member(s) for IIW Membership are adequately recognised, it might have a beneficial effect on membership growth. This suggestion was based on his experience with certain International organisations he was associated with. Shri R. R. Bhattacharjee volunteered to be the donor of this award in memory of his wife and all the council members approved this proposal. After detailed deliberations it was decided to name the award as "Minati Bhattacharjee Memorial Award for Excellence", and to be awarded each year to the member who sponsors the maximum number of new members in the financial year.
Effective 2009 the Council has decided this award, with the consent of Shri R. R. Bhattacharjee, will be given to Best Branch. |
