From Chairman’s desk
Esteemed Members,
Our Centre had the honor of
hosting a very big and memorable
event this month i.e. 689th
meeting
of Council of The Institution of
Engineers (India) along with
meeting of Committee on
Advancement of Technology and
Engineering (CATE) and meetings
of 11 engineering division Boards
and meetings of 5 other
committees. Very important
decisions were taken by the Council
which you would be communicated
as soon as we receive the minutes
of meeting from IEI Headquarters.
It was a marathon in itself which
was attended by more than 100
members coming from all over the
country.
I am happy to announce that
everyone attending the event went
home with complete satisfaction
which is very rare in such types of
events. This would not have been
possible without continuous
guidance, support and
encouragement from our past
President Shri S.S. Rathore,
meticulous planning and execution
by Council member Shri Navin
Vasoya, Past Chairman Shri Bharat
Patel, valuable contributions from
Council Members Shri M.K. Jadav &
Shri Sandeep Vasava, Immediate
Past Chairman Shri Uresh Mehta
and of course our support team led
by Shri K.R. Patel, Vijay Solanki,
Mukesh Advaryu, Mukesh Gerg,
Manoj Yadav and their team.
Is it time to relax and sleep for us?
No, not at all if you are vigilant. If
you keep us encouraging by
participating in all our activities, we
may not slip back to original
position.We invite your suggestions
for future programs on our mail id.
S.J. Desai
