Very often engineers who are employed in different industries dont go
in for research and technology development, even though they may
have a talent for it. Further, industry is also not keen to invest in R&D
unless its innovations are adequately protected and rewarded by way
of assured Return of Investment. This has now become critical in the
era of globalisation. Alvin Toffler the famous American writer, known
for his work discussing the digital revolution and communication
revolution said that Yesterday, violence was power, today wealth is
power and tomorrow knowledge will be power. It is of no doubt that
technical knowledge and the ability to develop and adopt technology
is now dominating the market. Industry investment in fundamental
R&D undertaken in academic institutions is crucial for establishing
rapid product development cycles and for introducing new products.
Many companies have re-engineered themselves to fulfil this
objective but are worried about how to transform the knowledge and
the ideas generated into rapid product development, since immediate
assistance from academia is not always available for the latter.
A radically new approach is required to correct this trend. To get a direct
bearing on their business results, the industries should give emphasis
on using academic institutes to undertake research on their behalf.
Academic institutes, on their part, must get ready to face this challenge.
Undoubtedly, in India, there is little doubt that knowledge, which is not
available anywhere else, exists at least in pockets. However, such
knowledge in isolation cannot be used due to lack in communication
to be precise technology communication. The National Laboratories,
the Universities, IITs and even some local level NGOs and Artisans
are storehouses of technical knowhow. This type of expertise needs
to be nurtured and encouraged, if it has to be converted into wealth
i.e. by closing the loop and making the results of research applicable
to the society as well as industry. There is no doubt that in this area,
industry has a significant role to play. The establishment of adequate

platform. He also requested the engineers present on the occasion


to join this esteemed organization. The prestigious M S Ramanujan
Memorial Lecture was delivered by Dr P Santhi Thilagam, Associate
Professor, National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal.
A Proceedings of the Convention was brought out on this occasion

communication channels between scientists, professors, technologydevelopers and industry is the need of the hour. To begin with, it may be
beneficial to identify product and technology based expertise available in
the country in different institutions and other corners of the country and
make this known to industry. Industry, instead of having a self-motive
and product-centric approach should encourage wider coverage and
have the genuine desire to promote R&D infrastructure development
in laboratories/educational institutes. Enhancement of industrys R&D
infrastructure both in the private and public sectors, would add to the
effectiveness of the industrys involvement in the total programme. This
may lead to Centres of Excellence emerging in selected disciplines and
a win-win situation for the nation.

April 12, 2016

In this regard, the basic point, which we from The Institution of Engineers
(India) would highlight that a national policy should be created, so that,
the working engineers employed in the industries are deployed by the
industries to different R&D Institutes and Universities to undertake
applied research on product and process development. The engineers
associated with the industries, who have the best and up-to-date
knowledge about the requirement of their respective industries, must
be involved along with their counterparts in the academic institutes in
the form of collaborative researches, so that, the outcomes are tested
on real-time basis and there is no hitch between the developer and
the user. Even when a technology is imported, academia expertise
should be utilized by industry for technology assessment, upgradation,
and absorption to ensure that the acquired technology is suitable for
indigenous raw materials and indigenously fabricated equipment.

Food Processing
Industries: Their Impact
for Ensuring Food Security
D
elhi State Centre of the Institution organised a two-day All India
Seminar on Food Processing Industries: Their Impact for Ensuring
Food Security under the aegis of Chemical Engineering Division,
IEI during February 13-14, 2016 at New Delhi. The Seminar was

Member, IEI; Dr K M Chacko, Director, Shriram Institute for Industrial
Research, Delhi and Dr R S Sangwan, Chief Executive Officer, Centre
of Innovative and Applied Bio-processing, Mohali, Punjab, as Guestsof-Honour. Mr Pradeep Chaturvedi emphasized that for ensuring food
security there is a greater need for developing agriculture and industry.
He suggested that the post-harvest losses should be reduced at least
for selected food and vegetables. He also spoke about the present
lack of modern technology for food processing and suggested various
parameters to be adopted by the industries for ensuring food security
in India. Dr K M Chacko spoke about various technologies to be
adopted to prevent food toxicity and adulteration. He highlighted major
challenges in the food sectors and advocated that legislation should be
implemented strictly in food processing industries to ensure manufacture
of contamination-free balanced and healthy food for the mankind. Dr R
S Sangwan elaborated the urgency of food securities in India. He stated

that the food security can be achieved if research and innovations are
carried out in the right directions. Earlier, Mr J K Gehlawat, Chairman of

and Past Chairman of Tiruchirappalli Local Centre,


IEI, inaugurated the Seminar by lighting the lamp.
In his inaugural address, Mr Harsha stated that it
was essential for every individual to safely transfer
the natural resources to the next generation without
exploiting them for their present needs. While speaking
on environment, he highlighted the contribution of a tree,
such as, generates oxygen, recycles fertility, facilitates
soil erosion control and air pollution control,
etc. He mentioned that when one tree falls or
is felled, we lose something worth more than
Rs 32 lakhs. Mr Harsha pointed out that many
things on which our future heath and prosperity
depend, are in dire jeopardy due to climate
instability, the resilience and productivity of
natural system and biological diversity. In
order to improve the situation, he stressed on
energy conservation and management; use
of clean fuels (5% from coal to gas); use of
renewable energy resources; management of
resources, etc. Dr G Ranganath, Chairman of
