The Golden Era of TAP started in 2003 when all of us unanimously decided to host the 14th Mahapedicon for the first time in Thane. Dr.Yogesh Acharya as organizing chairperson & Dr. Shyam Jagger as organizing president with Dr. Sandeep Kadam as organising Secretary took charge and whole group of thane academy of paediatrics consisting of meagre 80 odd members worked day in and day out and conjured a grand show of academics and fun which was rated as “second-to-none event” in those days. During same year Thane Academy of Pediatrics also got the best branch award under flagship of Dr.Shyam Jagger and Dr.Sandeep Kelkar. Later Multi speciality hospitals like Kaushalya Medical Foundation Trust Hospital, Lok (Bethany), Jupiter & Currae hospital sprouted in the vicinity and we started meeting in their premises. While Kaushalya hospital in Pachpakhadi was the host to many a meeting initially, we soon shifted to Jupiter hospital & have been meeting there now
