situation and assesses the progress of the Church in India, and, in the light of its own purposes,
decides on plans that may be necessary, and action that may be called for.
At such Meetings, the Reports of various Offices, Councils, National Centres/Institutes and Regional
Bishops' Councils are submitted. While the Report of the Secretary General is published along with
