Constitution
PREAMBLE
The Indian Society for
Reconstructive Microsurgery is a new body consisting of not many practicing
micro surgeons in India. We are still in very early stages. Hence we have
to establish healthy convention on behalf of the society. A broad outline
of the constitution is given. As we travel along we can modify or add to
the existing clauses by consensus. Hence no elaborate legal clauses are
included. Conventions are always better than written laws.
