A short history of efforts to unite the ANOs of India

Dear ANOs,

Following is a short history of efforts to unite the ANOs of India.

While getting ready for my PRCN I had searched the internet and had come across a blog for ANOs run by Lt.D. Muthukumaran from Tamilnadu. It helped me a lot. During my PRCN I found a lot of confusions related to NCC and felt the need to unite the ANOs of India. Thus during the library hours I started a blog named www.associatenccofficer.blogspot.in. 

A blog has its limitations. So after PRCN I started a Facebook group named ANO CONFEDERATION which now has 1500+ ANOs of various states as members.

In August 2015 I understood the limitations of Facebook and created whats app groups for the 28 states of India and renamed the already existing group for Telangana run by Naveen Nagothu. Thus now we have whats app groups for ANOs of all the 29 states and Union Territories. All of them have the same name (name of the state) ANO Association.

In-order to link the states I have started an all India group named ANO CONFEDERATION. It has only carefully selected ANOs from the 29 state wise groups. The idea was to add only active ANOs of all the states so that important discussions and circulars will be shared from the all India group to the state groups easily. While the selected ones from some states are very active some others are inactive. Hope that in the future we will be able to add more active ANOs from all states. English is the medium for communication in the all India group. It is hoped that the admins of state groups will translate important discussions into the state's mother tongue (if necessary).

Other than ANO Confederation there are 3 all India Whats App groups for ANOs (as far as I know).

1. ANO India by Sunil Kadam (20.03.2014) 

2. All India NCC Officers by Lt. D.Muthu Kumaran (23.07.2014)

3. 1-ALL INDIA NCC OFFICERS by Hitendra Kumar Virani (03.06.2015)

 The following are our ultimate aims:

1) To form an association for each state and get it registered (if possible)
2) To support each other and share important information.

(In no way should these groups be used to share non NCC messages or talk against NCC hierarchy)

NB : If you are not yet a part of your state's group please WHAT’S APP your Name and State to the concerned number. (Please do not call unless it is urgent)
