The AANI Secretariat serves as the operational and administrative hub of the Association. It is responsible for implementing the policies and programmes approved by the National Executive Committee (NEC) and for coordinating communication among chapters, members, and partners.
The Secretariat is headed by the Director of Administration (D.A.), who manages day-to-day operations and ensures smooth execution of AANI’s activities, under the supervision of the Secretary-General and the NEC.
The Alumni Association of the National Institute (AANI) is administered through the Annual General Meeting, National Executive Committee (NEC), Standing Committees, and Chapter Executive Committees. It initially operated in six zones, later expanded to ten for more effective coordination, and from 2003 evolved into twenty-seven state chapters. Zone Chairpersons sit on the NEC, which is elected every two years and comprises the President, key executive officers, and all Chapter Chairpersons. The Association’s work is supported by sixteen functional committees along with two advisory bodies: a seven-member Board of Patrons and a seven-member Heritage Council.
The National Executive Committee is elected every two years to manage the affairs of the Association and implement its strategic agenda.
