Re. :- Decline in total club
membership in M.Y. 2014-2015
I have gone through and
studied the statistics of club members excluding distinguished club members and
was indeed shocked to learn that there has been no growth in club membership in
M.Y. 2014-2015 I have by my own experience, tried to find out reasons for this
decline which I have stated briefly at the end of this letter
As per total CM club
members in year 2013-2014 which was 40754 and 1106 new members were added in
year 2014-2015. The total thus should be 41860 whereas it remains only 39554
which shows the dropout of 2306
Likewise ZM club members
in year 2013-2014 was 33919 and 2621 new members were added in year 2014-2015.
The total comes 36540. Whereas, ZM club members in M.Y. 2014-2015 is shown as
only 32778 meaning thereby the 3762 are dropped
The total numbers of DM
club members in year 2013-2014 were 60786. The new members were added in year
2014-2015 were 6899 total thus comes to 67685 and dropout is 8181
BM club members in year
2013-2014 were 78796 new members added in year 2014-2015 12984 total comes
91780 showing the dropout of 22650.
It to be noted that in
above 4 clubs total membership in year 2014-2015 is 200996 against 214255 of
2013-2014 the fall is around 7%. It will easier to comprehend the full picture
in the tabular form below.

(36899 have been dropped in
2014-2015)
(23610 have been new in
2014-2015)
From the above you will
kindly observe that growth in seriously affected obviously due to increase in
qualifying conditions. Besides above I feel there are following reasons which
have obstructed the growth of club members.
1.
Mandatory
condition of Minimum No. of lives is on higher side
2.
Delay in
Declaration of results
3.
Mistake
in Club membership Programme (Lives are not counted correctly)
4.
Even
insurance of a person in different year is counted one.
5.
Unrealistic
Bargaining of Business while awarding club membership
6.
Benefits
in club membership are not commensurate with qualify condition.
7.
Club
convention just complete formalities and not to recognize good works
8.
More
emphasis on MDRT
I therefore request you to kindly review and
have a relook at the qualifying conditions and revise them to enable more
agents to qualify. Escalation clause only in renewal of membership should be
available for qualifying conditions and it should be dispensed with or deferred
at least for another 3 years, by the time new conditions in the minds of agents
are stabilized and better comprehended.
Thanking you
Yours faithfully
(H. M. JAIN)
