Dear Fellow Members,

India is a country with a very rich heritage. It has made immense contribution to humanity in various fields like mathematics, science, medicine, astronomy, yoga, etc., far exceeding that of any other country. However, over the past few centuries, somewhere, India started lagging behind.

Today, once again, India is coming forth to occupy its rightful place in the comity of nations. It has a strong pro-active government, committed to rapid economic growth and improving the quality of life of its masses. The four basic pillars of economic growth are agriculture, industry, services and infrastructure. The government is rightly giving attention to all the four sectors of the economy.

The Indian Institute of Metals (IIM), a body of professionals, is committed to playing its due role and contribution to the process of economic development of our country. We, the members of Delhi Chapter of IIM (IIM-DC), are committed to contributing our humble bit.

I am proud to say that IIM-DC is among the most active Chapters of IIM and has been regularly taking up a number of activities like Seminars, Conferences, Exhibitions, Technical Talks, Industrial Visits, etc. towards achieving this objective. Needless to say, this would just not be possible without whole-hearted and active co-operation of the members.

I would like to congratulate and thank the previous Executive Committee members and especially, its Chairman on the excellent work done by them.

I would also like to place on record, my sincere appreciation of the Executive Committee members for the trust reposed in me.

I am confident that the members of IIM-DC and its Executive Committee will continue to provide their un-stinted support and together we shall march forward and achieve greater and greater heights.

With best Regards,
B D Jethra
CHAIRMAN
