I take this opportunity to greet all Rimcollians and their families, on being elected as President ROBA. I feel honoured and proud, and will endeavour to put in my best for our alma mater and ROBA.

While the basic aim and purpose of ROBA remains strengthening the Rimcollian bond, we have a deep moral obligation to ensure the well being and constant improvement of the alma mater. It is towards this end I wish to address every Rimcollian. What have we done to strengthen that bond and towards improving the Alma Mater? For all that we have received from RIMC it is time to give back a little. Let us make every effort to bring all Rimcollians on board the ROBA band wagon and to do our utmost in upgrading RIMC to be the unbeatable.

It has struck me that as of now we have only me as a serving 3 star General. It makes me ponder as to why? A clear answer which I think lies in the fact that the Armed Forces have been increasing in sheer number and we are still only a handful. Rimcollian strength needs to be built up in numbers. Increasing the strength at the college is an issue we all need to address. 500 is a figure, that can be optimally managed. I need your support in processing the case.

I would like new and young volunteers to come forward to handle and/or help the Regional Secretaries. It is by taking up such tasks I feel, we all would come more closer.
Lastly, but most importantly I would like the Rimcollian fraternity to come up with suggestions for improvement, for which my doors are always open.

I wish all Rimcollians and their families the very best.
