The IMA Ball one of the eagerly-awaited social event for the Autumn term in the Indian Medical Academy (IMA) was organised on Sunday night.
The evening of joy, merriment and nostalgia started when the Commandant IMA, lieutenant General SK Jha set the ball rolling. As per the tradition of the academy, selection of Mister IMA and Miss IMA was held on the occasion in which the Gentleman Cadets (GC) and lady guests participated with great zeal and enthusiasm.
Meenakshi Chaudhary was adjudged as Miss IMA while Gentleman Cadet Tarun Vasudevan was declared as Mister IMA.
The IMA Ball is held towards the end of each term to mark the culmination of the rigorous training schedule of the Passing Out Course.
The event marked with fun and frolic can also be termed as the ‘Break Up Party’ for the Third Termers. The IMA Ball is also regarded as a precursor to the final event – The Passing Out Parade (POP) of the IMA, which is scheduled on December 9, 2017.
An IMA communiqué said that the occasion was characterised by the display of a high sense of chivalry, courtesy, etiquette and gentlemanly conduct of the passing out course.
These qualities which are imbibed and nurtured in the IMA, remain as an important part of their lives as officers on commissioning. This was really a good experience.
