Dear All
This is Lakshmi Subramsniam Iyer being awarded The Meritorious Award on 11th April2017. This was granted by the ANZCP( Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatry)for her outstanding contribution to the mentally ill patients in the State of Victoria .
I think this is great considering the fact that she is not a college member.Though she is quiet she does her work exceedingly well and deserves every praise for her wonderful work.

I thought that our batch mates should know your achievements. You deserve every credit and praise for the wonderful contribution to the mental health services of Victoria. It was nice meeting you here and only wish that your stay with us could have been a bit longer.
Having chatted with you this morning I sincerely hope you would attend our RU next October on the 4th 5th and 6th. It would be a wonderful opportunity to meet up with most of our batch mates some of whom you might not have met since Faculty days. Praxy

Dear Maha and Sri
It is great to hear from you. I am sure that yoga will play an important role in the recovery and rehabilitation in mental illness. I do not have much experience in this field however I have an uncle in Uk who is a doctor and a yoga teacher. He was a former lecturer in the Jaffna medical faculty. He travels to Srilanka often. I will certainly pass on this information
Thanks
