In this issue certain qualitative improvement in the content & presentation is made. We are now in the era of "Information Technology". The whole world has become small and information from any corner of the earth is now accessible within seconds on the "INTERNET". Accessing the right information at the right time is vital to success in today’s world. A wealth of information on welding and related topics is available in the Internet. From this issue, details of important web sites related to welding will be given. We are keen that we communicate effectively with members, particularly those who are outside Mumbai City. A web site of the IIW Mumbai branch will be ready shortly. Our members can get all details of the branch activities from our web site We look forward to your constructive suggestions.

Dear Readers,
The first
issue of weldnet by the new managing committee is in your hands. It
gives us great pleasure to see the increased participation of the
members in various institutional activities inspite of their busy
schedule and tough travel conditions of Mumbai. We always try to see
that the quality and contents of the technical activities are
continuously improved to the taste of the participants. The
technological developments are very fast and we have to keep pace
with these. In the changed scenario we have to deliver the goods at
the cheapest price, in the shortest period and of the best quality.
The knowledge, interaction and communication can greatly help in the
growth of an individual & IIW is one of the many platforms to
contribute to this. Your active support, feedback and constructive suggestions are most welcome.

VOLUME 6, NUMBER 2&3, SEPTEMBER,DECEMBER 2002 For Private Circulation only Volume 6 Number 2 & 3 September & December, 2002 Quarterly News Letter of "THE INDIAN INSTITUTE OF WELDING", Mumbai Branch From the Chairman’s desk Dear Readers, At the outset, I on behalf of the Managing Committee wish every reader MERRY CHRISTMAS & A VERY HAPPY, HEALTHY & PROSPEROUS NEW YEARAs the activities of our Central Council were affected very badly due to various factors, we could not concentrate to bring out the October issue in time. Therefore both the October and December issues have been merged and are being brought out now. I am glad to inform you that all the differences, misunderstandings and controversies of the Central Council have been sorted out at the initiative of our own Mumbai branch. We had organized a joint meeting with all the branch representatives and the members of the present Central Council and the previous one at the Hotel Shikara, Navi Mumbai in august,2002. Dr. BaldevRaj, the President – elect had chaired this meeting and a few constructive decisions were taken to put the IIW back on track. The Bangalore branch had come forward to hold the Council meeting of the present Central Council together with the previous Council members on 23.11.2002. It was well attended. Our branch was represented by the Chairman & Hony. Secretary of the branch besides, S/Shri K.M.Panthaki, Vice-President, N.K.Sarkar, Council Member and S.Shankaran, representing L&T Ltd., an ICM of the Central Council also attended this Council meeting. The salient points discussed in the meeting are given elsewhere in this Weldnet. Though we are facing severe setback in the Industry, it is heartening to note that India’s fiscal growth is under control because of buoyant revenue collections, as revealed by Shri S. Narayan, the Finance Secretary. We had plenty of activities for our members during the last six months, which are given elsewhere in this issue along with the future programmes. I shall appeal to the readers of the Weldnet to come forward to assist us by giving technical lectures in our Monthly Lecture programmes, Refresher Courses, Workshops; by advertising their products in our Weldnet and technical proceedings and sponsoring the events conducted by our branch. I am thankful to Shri N.K.Sarkar, one of the most senior members of the IIW and an Advisor of our branch committee for the assistance and guidance received for the preparation of this issue. Regards and happy reading, C.P.Sukhwal Chairman, IIW, Mumbai branch.

The branches have been requested to contact the Kolkata branch for further details of the competitions. Dr. Onkar Nath Mohanty, Director, TISCO, Jamshedpur and Dr. K.Prasad Rao, Professor. IIT, Chennai have been invited to deliver the Memorial Lectures during the NWS at Kolkata. Annual General Meeting of the IIW The Annual General Meeting of the Indian Institute of Welding shall be held on 23rd January,2003 at Kolkata during the National Welding Seminar. The election for the incoming Council shall also be held during the AGM. . Dr. Baldev Raj ,Distinguished Scientist & Director ( Materials), IGCAR, Kalpakkam, was re-nominated as the next President by the outgoing council. The list of other qualified persons nominated by the outgoing Council for the year 2002-2003 are given below. This list has been circulated to all the members of the Institute for their perusal. For Vice –Presidents S/shri K.M.Panthaki (Mumbai ) & Anupam Haldar (Kolkata) & S.Samidas (Tiruchirapalli) Hony. Secretary Shri A.K.Mukherjee ( Kolkata) Hony. Treasurer Shri B.K.Mishra (Kolkata) Members (representing Fellows, Members & Associate Members) S/Shri S.K.De (Kolkata), N.K.Sarkar (Mumbai), R.Ravi (Chennai), Dr.M.K.Sharma (Baroda) & V.R.Vasudevan Nair ( Cochin) Members (representing ICMs) M/s.Memco (Mumbai), L&T Ltd (Mumbai), ESAB India Ltd (Mumbai ), Weld India Consultancy Pvt.Ltd. (Delhi) & IGCAR (Kalpakkam) International Welding Congress in India, 2005. Initially our branch was allotted the International Welding Conference in 2003. But due to non-functioning of the Central Council and delayed AGM of the H.O in January,2003, the IWC,2003 was cancelled. Instead, the above International Welding Congress was allotted to our branch which is scheduled in February,2005. Since this is an event of the International Institute of Welding , it is a prestigious event in the calendar of our Institute. The Theme of this event was decided as : "Frontiers of welding science & Technology". One workshop shall also be held concurrently with the participation of the overseas delegates. Membership Criteria The IIW has four different classes of individual membership e.g Fellows, Members, Associate Members and Associates. The first three categories of members can become LIFE members after paying Rs. 1500/- plus the transfer fees at one time only. Retired Members of these three classes above 60 years of age are eligible to become LIFE MEMBERS on paying a sum of Rs. 500/- at a time. This is great incentive to our senior members who had helped us all the time. In order to smoothen the continuity of the membership, members of these categories who have not yet become LIFE members are requested to become LIFE members so that they need not bother for the reminders for payment of subscriptions etc. Arrangements are being made to pass on these facilities of LIFE MEMBERSHIP to all the Associates also in view of the circumstances. As the AM-IIW examinations have been recognised as equivalent to a Degree Examination, Diploma holders (even with experiences) are not admitted now as Associate Members. They are admitted as ASSOCIATES only. New Members We congratulate and WELCOME the following members to our branch on their election / transfer of membership: 1.
