On the eve of ICID turning 60 on the 24 th June this year, the ICID Central Office in New Delhi, India had a simple, commemorative celebration. ICID President Madramootoo issued a special message for the occasion: ''It gives me extreme pleasure to say a few words on this auspicious occasion of the 60 th anniversary of the founding of ICID.
As President of this esteemed organization, I am continually impressed and amazed by the strength, resilience, fortitude, and creativity of the ICID family over the past 60 years. ICID is an international institution which depends entirely on the support of its 107 member countries and the voluntary efforts of the experts in the national committees.
The global reach and impact of the institution is particularly commendable given its humble beginnings with 11 member countries in 1950. Few institutions can claim to have attained such a high level of maturity and international recognition. We owe this remarkable achievement to the vision, dynamism and generosity of our founding fathers, who created the organization with its head office in New Delhi, and to the thousands of dedicated volunteers and experts, Central Office staff, Secretaries General, and office bearers who have blazed a trail of excellence and innovation over the past six decades.
