The two page bulletin was edited by Dr. D. A Satish, the Vice- President of association. It continued for two years and in 1998 ISPD had decided to come out with full fledged journal. The founder editor of the journal was Dr. Deepak Parikh. He nurtured the journal and gave shape to its organization and continued for 5-6 years.
