My dear Doctor, it is 26,000,000. That is 2.6 crore, not lakh.
It belongs to CIS, not the Chapter.
CIS is a totally different organization, not related to the Chapter is any way
whatsoever.
It consists of interesting (for a psychologist) people like Noopur, Nitika, and
Subhashish. They get paid.
Chapter is volunteers, not paid, no pay, no money, gratis, Google Treanslate says मुक्त.
I hope you get my point. It is after all, Elementary, My dear Doctor.
CIS=Money.
Chapter=No Money.
CIS=Rich.
Chapter=Poor.

I am talking about upcoming Board Meeting, Correct me if someone else is funding Travel
expenses of Chapter. Its CIS right?
Point is - If expenses are well known like this, other organizations can chip in to
support Chapter. And 'in-kind' donations will be helpful.
Its good to see CIS is helping Chapter, and why Chapter wants to keep it as secret? At
same time there are dedicated efforts in all mails to keep everyone in dark about Travel
support, is there any specific reason behind it??

Abhishek, where are you getting these ideas from? As our Secretary
stated, please stop speaking for us. Substantiate your claim that CIS
is funding us. The Chapter is financially accountable to it's MEMBERS,
and will put up all Grants, and other details in public. Running a
society in India has a thousand formalities with various Government
departments.
