Dear Brig,
The provision exists already. Category of Associate Membership was instituted with this aim alone; our MoA, in fact, emphasises our goal of Federation. The vision, as articulated many times, is that all ESM Orgs across India should join together on major issues of ESM concern, under a single banner of IESM, while retaining, without any dilution, their own identity, autonomy, culture, structure & leadership, aims & objectives and their own programmes. For the purpose, a significantly reduced rate of Membership Fee for the Members of the associating ESM Organisation is stipulated.
Your view that such federation will provide strength and GoI recognition to the IESM is accepted. However, this can only happen with increased membership base of IESM; associating or joining in actions of IESM alone implies only support and will not confer benefits visualised by you. Let me draw your attention to other national federations - CII, FICCI, ASSOCHAM to name a few. Commercial establishments have to become members, as do individuals, for these federations to derive credibility.
Therefore, it is in our larger interst that we persuade other ESM Organisations to join IESM as Associate Members.
God Bless IESM and God bless you,
Maj Gen (Retd) PK Renjen, AVSM
