INDIAN
DENTAL ASSOCIATION, KERALA STATE BRANCH
Though
the Indian Dental Association, at the centre was formed as early as in 1946
it took more than two decades for the formation of the Kerala State branch
of the IDA. The initiative for the formation of the state branch was taken
primarily by late Dr. Jacob Zechariah. An ad-hoc committee was formed in 1967
with late Dr. Jacob Zechariah as the convener and Dr. M.K.James and Dr. K.
G. Nair as Members. The primary objective of the this committee was to organise
the dental surgeons of the state and to form the kerala state branch of IDA.
The committee held meetings at Eranakulam and Trivandrum. A constitution was
prepared for the Kerala State Branch. Communications were send to all practicing
dental surgeons of this state. The formal inauguration of the IDA, Kerala
State Branch was conducted on, Sunday the 2nd February, 1969.
