Dear Friends,

The four year books of IAAT published in 2007, 2009,

2011 and 2014 were widely welcomed by our members. Since its
publication several of our members have pointed out certain
additions in the year book. We have put all efforts to update the year
book with all available informations. We are regularly updating the
data of IAAT members in the IAAT website (www.iaat.org.in). It
has been decided in the general body held at Kolhapur to publish the
year book once in two years. Now it is due for publication in the
year 2017. Many of the members have not responded to our request;
hence there may still be some additions, deletions or modifications
in this year book also. Your sincere co-operation is sought to update
the information for the future volume.

All members are requested to kindly verify the entries

made in the Year Book and inform the Secretary if any
change/correction/addition is needed.
