Activity Centres

Activity Centres were established with a view to give focussed attention and organise activities on a specific subject which is dearer to the donor. This is promoted by organisations and individuals providing a one time contribution of Rs.15,00,000/- towards AMA's corpus.

 

The programmes and events organised under each centre will be part of AMA's overall activities. An Activity Centre conducts a course, one major lecture/Panel discussions and Publications. In all the literatures, programme announcement etc. relating to the activity will carry the sponsors' name.

 

The contribution given by the sponsorer is kept as a corpus of AMA and the interest-income is being used for the activities. Therefore, AMA could provide a perpetual acknowledgement of the contribution and organise continuing activity which is dearer to the sponsorer. The contributor is also requested to join a Committee of AMA which is specially set-up to oversee the activities.
