Journey till now and future ahead

Abstract

The Orthopaedic Journal of M P Chapter started in the early 1980's with Dr. P.K. Rai as the first editor. He was very much enthusiastic about it and the journal was being published twice a year at times. Dr. P.K. Rai as Editor published the journal till volume 7 and this was the era when I was doing my MBBS and then MS Orthopaedics. I joined Govt. Medical College Jabalpur in the late 1997 when Dr. H.K.T. Raza was the editor of the journal. Dr. Raza is a man of principle. He wanted that the journal should have quality articles and they should be submitted by enthusiasm and not repeated requests. In his tenure he published volume 8 and volune 9 as single journals in 1998 and 1999. He had taken special permission from the executive body of IOA MP Chapter to co-opt me as a member of the editorial board in 1999 and that was my first entry to this journal. The computer man, printer, basic structure of the journal then has been preserved all over the years till now. These were days when the journal had to generate its own income for getting printed.The Orthopaedic Journal of M P Chapter started in the early 1980's with Dr. P.K. Raias the first editor.
