Leadership Development Programme
Leadership Development Program was first introduced to AIOS by Dr Natarajan in the year 2008. He was then the Chairman ARC, AIOS.
This program module was emulated from the American Academy of Ophthalmology, which he had attended and was extremely impressed by it and thus initiated to introduce such a program for AIOS.
This session became a HUGE SUCCESS and was thus continued henceforth.
The purpose of the Leadership Development Program is to provide orientation and skill development to future leaders of Ophthalmology, at the state level throughout India.
PROGRAM GOALS:
a) Identify individuals with the potential to become Leaders in Ophthalmology.
b) Provide orientation and skills to allow potential leaders to promote Ophthalmology locally, nationally and internationally.
c) Facilitate the promotion of program graduates into leadership positions locally, nationally and internationally
The LDP Alumni are made for the following reasons:
- The LDP Program, we believe is a program that has to be continued over the years not only to shape and groom a leader for 1 year but also to offer reinforcement from newer programs in the subsequent years.
- LDP Alumni help AIOS in various ARC activities and initiatives like- CRUSADE AGAINST DIABETIC BLINDNESS, COMBAT EYE INFECTIONS, TEACHERS IN OPHTHALMOLOGY, PG REFRESHER COURSES.
- Rapporteurs for the AIOC Conference
The idea of LDP is not only financial training.
The LDP at their Initiation session during the Annual Conference of AIOS have an interactive discussion with Leaders of Ophthalmological World and this sets the stage for the next programs.
The LDP program conducted at Weschool, Welingkar, Mumbai covers subjects like:
- Understanding self /others & Emotional Quotient
- Recruiting & Retention

Over the last 2 years, we have conducted our LDP Sessions at Pegasus Institute of Excellence.

During the Concluding program at the end of 1 year, the projects done by LDP batch are presented and these projects are continued by the project coordinators.
It is not for individual gain neither fellowship. This is an AIOS Program to benefit State Societies and AIOS.
As mentor of LDP Program, Dr Natarajan takes keen interest and he keeps on inviting suggestion on how we make the program ever more vibrant.
