Dear  Dr  ET Roy,
 
Greetings  from  the  Bombay  Orthodontic  Study  Group
 
As you  are  aware, the  first  ever  Study group  in the  country  was  established  in the  city of  Bombay - now  Mumbai and  was  aptly titled,  ' Bombay  Orthodontic  Study Group - BOSG '. This  was  in the  year  1963. It  was  this Study  Group  that  blossomed  in  to the  Indian  Orthodontic  Society, which  boasts  of  a  2000 +  membership  today  and   we feel  privileged  to  be  associated  with  this  study  group  as  members   and  also  as  the  Convenors.
 
We  had  sent  the  Registration  Form  duly  filled to  your  office  to  have  the  BOSG  as  a  duly  registered  Study  Group  of the Indian  Orthodontic Society, giving  all  the  necessary  particulars, including  the  date  of  Charter. However  the  website  shows  the  date  of  charter  as  03/08/08. This is  to  request  you  to  make  the  necessary  correction.  
 
It  would  also be fitting and  appropriate  to  mention  this  historical  fact  on the  Study  Group  page  and  on  the  Home  page. The  home  page  does  say, ' the IOS  started  as  a  Study  Group  in  Bombay, now  Mumbai, way back  in 1963 .... '
May we  request  you  to  have  it  rephrased  as  follows, so  as to  highlight this  very important  milestone  in the  history  of  Indian  orthodontics and  accord  BOSG  this  honourable  mention ? 
 
' the  IOS started  as  a  Study Group  in  Bombay, now  Mumbai,  as  the  BOMBAY  ORTHODONTIC  STUDY  GROUP, way back  in  1963..... '    
 
This  will  be  surely  of  interest  to  every  member  of  the  IOS, especially  our  new  members.
 
We  sincerely  look  forward  to  and  would  greatly  appreciate  this  on  the  website  as  well  as  the  PR  material  which  the  IOS has  so  painstakingly  generated.
 
With  best  wishes,
 
Yours  fraternally,
 
Dr  Sanjeev Shevade
on  behalf  of  Convenors  and   Advisor, BOSG
