WORLD TELECOMMUNICATION &

INFORMATION SOCIETY DAY 2019

Theme: Bridging the Standardization Gap

17th May 2019

The World Telecommunication Day was organized on 17th May

2019 jointly with IETE, Chennai Centre, at IETE Hall, Chennai.

This year IETE celebrate Golden Jubilee of the World

Telecommunication and Information Society Day which is being

celebrated annually since 1969. The day marks the founding of

ITU on 17th May 1865 when the first International Telegraph

Convention was signed in Paris. Bridging the Standardization

Gap (BSG) is a fundamental part of ITU's mission to connect

the world. BSG is also one of the 5 strategic objectives of ITU's

standardization sector (ITU-T). The overreaching goal of the

BSG programme is to address the disparities in the ability of

developing countries, relative to developed ones, to access,

implement and influence ITU's international standards. In this

context, the BSG programme aims to facilitate the efficient

participation of developing countries in ITU's standards-making

process, to disseminate information about existing standards,

and to assist developing countries in the implementation of

standards.

Sri Tata Sudhakar, Chairman Chennai Centre who welcomed

the gathering briefed the significance of the Golden Jubilee

celebration and touched upon the history and development of

World Telecommunication Union.

Sri S Ramaswamy, Governing Council member, IETE Chennai

read the message received from Secretary General, ITU, and

Special Address on the occasion.

From the Chairman’s Desk....

Let us transform ourselves as Active Members of IEI

Dear Fellow Engineers,

I am happy to share my thought process

that our IEI TNSC has given the big

responsibility of starting the Centenary

year celebrations.

First, I am grateful to our all officer

bearers of IEI at all levels. Particularly

in last 20 years where disruptive changes are happening

everywhere, every field, every one's life, sustaining over

a period of 99 years is still a great achievement. I am pride

of this great achievement and I invite all our members to

join this Great Pride in large numbers on Sep 13th 2019

at Chennai.

Second, I would like to set “higher standards”, highest

involvement and hence with active whole hearted support

of IEI TNSC executive committee, we are organising 3

important knowledge sharing events during September and

November, we would like to plan more for the next year.

Third, when my thinking is going on in expansion of

membership drive. I am thinking of present existing

members of 27000 in Tamilnadu . IEI TNSC would like to

remain relevant for ever, that is possible only with Active

involvement of members in various activities like technical

lecture, one day workshop, seminar, convention,

conferences etc., In this connection, I request all the

members to become more active, to get ready for vibrant

IEI.

I request all the corporate members to bring in more and

more new members into the IEI with slogan “EVERY

MEMBER INDUCT NEW MEMBER” to double the

strength of IEI Tamilnadu.

Report of “Emerging Business Opportunities in Speciality Chemicals and fine Chemicals”

17th May 2019

The Institution of Engineers (India) Taminadu State Centre

organized a workshop on the theme “Emerging Business

Opportunities in Speciality Chemicals and Fine Chemicals” in

association with Chemical Industries Association, Indian

Chemical Council and Manali Industries Association on 17th May

2019 at IEI TNSC auditorium, Chennai.

In order to catalyze the development of new business ideas and

guide the thoughts and share ideas the Institution of Engineers

(India) Tamilnadu State Centre organized a workshop on

“Emerging Business Opportunities in Specialty Chemicals and

Fine Chemicals”.

Er S Rajagopal, Chairman, Chemical Engineering Division

Board, IEI and Chairman, IEI, Madurai Local Centre has

delivered about the theme of workshop.

Soon after the liberalization and normalization of customs duties,

mostly in line with WTO agreements, our country is also entering

in to free trade agreements with many countries with a view to

improve the relationships between them. However, this has

resulted in southward price trend for the chemical products and

a strong squeeze on the margins for the chemical industry in

general. Particularly, small and medium scale chemical industries

are struggling to avoid making losses and survive. The constant

pressure on the bottom line and net cash flow is driving many

such players out of their conventional business activities and

these results in a frenzied search for alternate avenues for

survival.

Opportunities for the medium and small players, in the

conventional chemicals are being closed up by the consolidation

of businesses and also by expansion by major players in to global

scale. Entrepreneurs looking for opportunities, typically in the

small scale or medium scale, have to now explore outside such

product lines as the doors are practically closed for any new

entrant by the big players.

Mr S Ilanahai, President, Chemical Industries Association

welcomed the gathering and Chief Guest. Dr Krishnakumar

Rangachari, Executive Director, Chemplast Sanmar delivered

the Inaugural address. Mr K Ravichandran, Sr. Vice President,

Co-Head Corporate Rating-ICRA delivered the Key note address.

The speakers of the seminar were Mr P M C Nair, Chairman,

Indian Chemical Council & Executive Director - Thirumalai

Chemicals Ltd., Ms Aarthi Janakiraman, Frost & Sullivan,

Mr Premchand, Avalon Consultants, Mr R Venkatraman,

PROU India Engineering Pvt Ltd., Dr S Viswanathan, Fibtec

Enterprises and Mr S R Sridhar, Managing Director, OROR

Flavours and Chemicals Ltd.,.

Mr P S Venkataraghavan, General Manager, Supreme

Petrochem Ltd., - Manali Industries Association proposed the

Vote of Thanks.
