Official Communication UPAA WhatsApp Group Policy
The UPAA WhatsApp Group is a collective platform that represents the voice, dignity, and unity of our Association. To maintain discipline, relevance, and the true spirit of our fraternity, the group shall be used strictly for the following:
✅ Architecture–related posts
âś… Official communications and circulars of UPAA
âś… Activity posts of Constituent Chapters
âś… Issues concerning the architectural fraternity of Uttar Pradesh
✅ Members’ posts related to architectural activities (individual works, recognitions, or contributions directly linked to Constituent Chapters only)
âś… Participation and representation of UPAA on different state, national, and international platforms
❌ Posts related to Non-Constituent Chapters or unrelated content shall not be permitted.
This group is an institutional communication channel, and every post here reflects upon the UP Architects Association as a whole. Members are therefore expected to exercise discretion and uphold the decorum of this platform at all times.
Let us continue to use this space purposefully — to strengthen our fraternity, showcase our achievements, and carry forward the collective vision of UPAA.
— UP Architects Association
