ANROAV annual meeting is the highest decision making body for the network where future plans and direction of the network are discussed and the past activities are reviewed. In this years meeting the main focus will be on the critical issues in Occupational health and safety in Asia and devising strategies towards them and also strategies to strengthen the ANROAV as a network and how to enhance fruitful partnership with similar networks across the globe. This year we are expecting guests from OSH groups from the America and the Europe to participate in the ANROAV meeting. This should give us enough opportunity towards enhancing partnership with these groups and working towards the creation of a global OSH grassroots network.
The key objectives of the 2007 annual meeting are as follows:
* To provide updates on various ANROAV struggles and campaigns – Asbestos, Silicosis (gem and jewellery), Mining , Cadmium Poisoning and Electronics
* To devise strategies and plans on strengthening the victims' movement and also spreading it across other regions.

Vijay Kanhere, a friend, activist and an inspiration
|
Dear Vijay,
A long year has passed when you shrunk deep in our hearts – a permanent place for you to live in.
During
your lifetime, you have done a great service to the Indian Working
Class. But, for few of us you were a teacher – a kind, warm, caring,
patient teacher. Crux of your teaching was how to behave. How to behave
as an individual, a comrade, an activist,and most of all a human being. How an organization
should behave with their staff, with society in general and
particularly with the people for whom they claim to work for.
