JALANDHAR, INDIA: Jalandhar Computer Dealers Association (JCDA) is holding its 12th consecutive elections on March 27. It is a practice that the association follows every year.

“This time around, we want new members to join the association. This is actually why we conduct the elections every year. Our main role as an association is to raise our voices against anything which is going wrong in the IT industry,” mentioned, Rajiv Khanna, Media Advisor, JCDA. In totality, there will be 14 positions available during the election process, comprising the President,VP, Jt Secretary, Public Relations Officer and a cashier forming the office bearers.

The remaining positions would consist of eight executive council members. Meanwhile, the last date for filing the nomination papers is March 25. At present, the Jalandhar association has 120 members up its sleeve and this figure is likely to go up after the election process is completed.

The main area that requires immediate attention within in the Jalandhar IT community is the area of security of the dealers and their shops. According to JCDA, there have been 10 cases of IT thefts reported in the last one year.

Ravinder Bhumbla, President, JCDA, further elaborated on what needs to be done after elections. He said, “The increase in number of theft cases rising in the city is a huge concern for us. Not only, it hurts the dealers financially, but it also poses a serious threat to their lives. There have been cases where computer dealers are held at gunpoint. Snatching has also become a casual thing in the city.” Talking about other areas where the association needs to be united, Bhumbla added, “The other important thing on our agenda is the relationship of the local dealers with the distributors and the vendors. If this improves then naturally our businesses will also improve.”

With elections due in a weeks time, Bhumbla wished, “It has been two years now that I have been the President, so I would like to pass the buck now to someone else with fresh vision and ideas.”
