It is yet again time to say goodbye to another year and welcome 2022. With everything that is happening around the world, we really did not realize how fast time flew by.

It may seem like a cliché, but everything we do or talk about somewhat revolves around Covid19, and it has been like this since its outbreak in late 2019. We expected the worse to be over in 2020 and for a better time in 2021. Though it may not seem like it, 2021 has proven to be progressing positively with the vaccines becoming available leading to gradual opening of borders, and slowly paving our way to tread carefully in the new normal.

Past year was challenging, no doubt. As the President of the Federation, my main aim was to ensure continuity in the members’ engagement. A bit different than what we are used to, we have transitioned to the online platform and our best effort was made to work together for the members’ collective development. On this note, we have been compelled to hold the first Virtual Special General Assembly. We have earlier held virtual Emergency Meetings via Zoom as well, however, this was the first time an SGA was held online.
