Indian manufacturing sector was quite good in the pre-historic period. After in-dependence, the second Five Year Plan targeted development of heavy industries in the country. Giant PSUs were formed for nation building. Then since mid 1980s, the manufacturing sector started declin-ing. Since 1980s, manufacturing sector's share in GDP stagnated within the range of 12-15% while the same share for com-parable Asian countries are much higher, for example, in China its 34% of GDP India’s ranking among the world’s 10 largest manufacturing countries has improved by three places to sixth position in 2015.The Government of India has set an ambitious target of increasing the contribution of manufacturing output to 25 per cent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 2022, from 16 per cent cur-rently.

India’s manufacturing sector has the poten-tial to touch US$ 1 trillion by 2025. There is potential for the sector to account for 25-30 per cent of the country’s GDP and create up to 90 million domestic jobs by 2025. Busi-ness conditions in the Indian manufactur-ing sector continue to remain positive. Previously Dr Abdul Kalam who was him-self an engineer has formulated Technology Vision 2020 for transforming India to a De-veloped nation in 1996.

The Prime Minister unveiled the ‘Technology Vision Document 2035’ while inaugurating the 103rdIndian Science Congress on 3rd January 2016. The document foresees the Indians of 2035, and technologies required for fulfilling their needs. It is not a visualization of technologies that will be available in 2035, but a vision of where our country and its citi-zens should be in 2035 and how technology should bring this vision to fruition. If manufacturer transform this Technology vision, then India will be a global giant.

The field of manufacturing is very vast. As this Convention plans to focus in the Steel Plant / Chemical manufacturing and the By – Product sector, I think, it is an opportune time to renew contacts and discuss the ad-vancements and achievements in this par-ticular field of manufacturing with the dele-gates present I am sure that all of you will be enriched af-ter listening two memorial lecture, State of art lecture . The speakers are well known in their field and contributed immensely in the

field of mechanical engg.

Jharkhand state centre is among the best state centre in India. This year also we bagged the best centre award which will be given to us on 18 th Dec during engineering congress in Kolkata. I must congratulate State centre’s mechanical engg division members namely Subroto , Amit Pal & Sandip Bhagat,M R Kumar to select this topics for national convention which is very pertinent in todays’ context.. Manufacturing has emerged as one of the high growth sectors in India. The competitiveness of the Indian manufacturing sector needs to raise the global level, which is imperative for the country’s long term-growth. Keeping this in mind the National Manufacturing Policy is by far the most comprehensive and significant policy initiative taken by the Government, led by our Prime Minister. The policy is the first of its kind for the manufacturing sector as it addresses areas of regulation, infrastructure, skill development, technology, availability of finance, exit mechanism and other pertinent factors related to the growth of the sector. The “Make in India” program plans to place India on the world map as a manufacturing hub and give global recognition to the Indian economy. India’s ranking among the world’s 10 largest manufacturing countries has improved by three places to sixth position in 2015.The Government of India has set an ambitious target of increasing the contribution of manufacturing output to 25 per cent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 2022, from 16 per cent cur-rently. There are lot of renowned engineers are present here who had come here for Mechanical division board meeting. I know subrata has jam packed programme., even he planned for 3 no parallael session. If he can allot slot so that we can hear from them. I hope all the delegates & invited guest are settled in this hill station at Ranchi, winter is yet to start, you can enjoy the weather in Ranchi I am sure that this Convention will provide a good platform to exchange ideas thus reaching an appropri-ate conclusion for defining the future growth of manufacturing in the Indian growth scenario. We wish all of you a happy and prosperous new year 2017. Thank You, SANJAY SEN

ised/ obtained. Project date should start from Date of placement of order on package contractor. Number of packages should be as minimum as possible. For major projects, Civil and structural packages should be out of scope of international Technol-

ogy supplier as these works are not related / not executable by the international technology provider.

Close supervision, monitoring and control of the Project must be done on daily basis and Project

status /progress report should be generated daily, weekly , fourth nightly and monthly for necessary action.

Project closure document preparation is a must activity. Project management principles are to be adopted in all the major projects and expert project

Management companies are to be deployed who have trained & experienced Project manage-ment personnel’s.

Glimpses of Energy Conservation Day

Energy Conservation Day was ob-served at IEI, JSC on 15.01.2017.

Er. Sanjay Sen, Chairman , IEI, JSC welcomed the participants and deliv-ered his welcome speech.

Guest Ms. S.Sinha delivered the lec-ture on the occasion.

Er. M.R.Kumar, Hony. Secretary, IEI, JSC conveyed vote of thanks.

Energy conservation refers to the reducing of energy consumption through using less of an en-ergy service. Energy conservation differs from efficient energy use, which refers to using less en-ergy for a constant service.

Energy is a currency that allows us to do work. Work is done when we apply a force over a dis-tance, or transfer energy from one place to another. So, all that really says is that energy allows you to transfer it, and to do that, you apply a force.

Perhaps it's easier to talk about what en-ergy allows us to do. Energy in most hu-man situations originates from the sun. Energy from the sun allows the plants to grow, and animals eat those plants to get energy for themselves. We humans eat both plants and animals to get our en-ergy, but either way the energy origi-nates in the sun. But even the sun isn't the start of the story, because the sun gets its energy from the nuclear energy stored inside hydrogen atoms, and those hydro-gen atoms originate back to the Big Bang that started the universe.

The story of energy never ends, because energy can never be used up - it is said to be 'conserved.' Conservation of energy is the principle that energy is not created or destroyed; it only moves from one place to another - from one type of energy to another.

Like every year, this year also The Institution of Engineers (India), Jharkhand State Centre, celebrated the Republic Day on 26th January 2017 at Engineer Bhawan, Doranda.

Er. Sanjay Sen, Chairman, IEI, JSC alongwith Er. M.R.Kumar, Hon. Secretary IEI, JSC hoisted the tricolour on the occasion. Programme followed by Cultural events and distribution of sweets and hi tea.

Delegates from all over the country, manufacturers of different equipment, supporter of this National seminar: MECON Ltd. , organizations who had supported this National Seminar, all presenters who will present their papers, all past chairmen & hony secretaries of the Jharkhand State center. All executive committee members, sub – committee members, all members of IEI, All Organising Committee members, family members of different awardees ,press & media and ladies and gentlemen. It gives me immense pleasure to extend to you all a very warm welcome on behalf of the Institution of Engineers (India), Jharkhand state centre, and to say how grateful we are to all the distinguished dele-gates,Guest who have accepted our invitation to this 30thConvention of Metallurgical Engineers and a na-tional seminar on "Challenges and Opportunities to Produce 300 MTPA Steel by 2030 "here at BNR Chay-nakya, Ranchi, Jharkhand. Jharkhand State Centre is among the best state centers in India. Last year also we bagged the best center award which was given to us on 18th Dec. 2016 during engineering congress in Kolkata. I must congratu-late our committee members of metallurgy division board for choosing a topics which is very pertinent in todays’ context. This theme was chosen by Jharkhand state centre in 2015 and approved by Metallurgy division board & IEI council in 2015 much before the draft steel policy which came in 2017. Steel is generally considered the backbone of a society. A vibrant steel industry is considered historically the foundation of a nation’s rapid industrial development. For long India is occupying a major role in the international steel scenario. The Indian steel industry entered into a new development stage from the start of the 21st century, riding high on the resurgent economy and rising demand for steel. The National Steel Policy of 2005, envisaged steel production to reach 110 million tonnes (MT) by 2019-20. However, based on the assessment of the current ongoing projects, both in greenfield and brownfield, the projection was revised and the domestic crude steel capacity was re-accessed to be 140 MT by 2016-17.

NATIONAL CONVENTION OF METALLURGICAL ENGINEERS

The National Steel Policy 2005 is currently being reviewed keeping in mind the rapid develop-ments in the domestic steel industry (both on the supply and demand sides) as well as the stable growth of the Indian economy. The new policy is expected to be released in 2017. The Draft new policy of 2017 has set an aim for India to become a net exporter of steel by 2025-26, while it also recognizes that weak global economic prospects indicate Indian steel industry will have to strongly depend on domestic consumption for its future growth. The rise in the production of steel in India is highly encouraging. However, the per capita con-sumption of steel is rather discouraging. As per data obtained from the industry body World Steel Association, per capita consumption of steel in India stood at about 59 kgs person against the world average per capital consumption of steel of 217 kgs per person, as of 2014. China, the world’s leader in steel production had a per capita consumption of steel of 510 kgs per person, which is more than double the global average. On an encouraging note,the per capita consump-tion of steel increased to 63 Kgs in the year 2015-16, an increase of 3.2 % from the previous year. The New National Manufacturing Policy introduced by the Government of India aims to in-crease the manufacturing growth rate to 12-14% per annum over the medium term and also to increase in the share of manufacturing in the country’s Gross Domestic Product from 16% to 25% by 2022. To achieve the targeted manufacturing growth from 16 % to 25 % of the GDP, substan-tial investment in the infrastructure sector has to be done. The ambitious infrastructure projects and the thrust in manufacturing through the “Make in In-dia” campaign are steps in the right direction. Moreover, the plan for smart cities, improved road and rail connectivity by building highways, bridges and dedicated freight and superfast rail corridors have huge potential to spur domestic steel demand. Investments in manufacturing and construction have a direct push on other sectors such as infrastructure (rail, road) among others. The growth in all the sectors has one thing in common: steel. The Steel is a product of large and complex industry having strong forward and backward linkages, mainly in terms of material flow. Thus, the development of the steel industry will have a ripple effect in all the upstream and downstream linkages. I am astonished when Howrah Bridge was made of steel, why at present even steel township do not have steel bridge. When TALA water tank in Kolkata was made during British can be made of steel , why now we can not plan our overhead storage made up of steel. This should be made at least by Steel producer in their township thus increase of steel use. The present capacity of crude steel production in India is about 98 MTPA. In order to achieve a capacity of 300 MTPA by 2030, an annual increase of about 15 MTPA for the upcoming 13 years has to be achieved. The Draft National Steel Policy which is under review and is being prepared by Government of India proposes an investment of about 10 lacks crores. It plans to improve the per capita steel consumption by Indians to 163 kgs by 2030.

A significant investment of capital will be required for building new capacity. Given the risk pro-file of the steel industry, particularly non-integrated players, and going by lenders’ experiences, availability of large capital in India at reasonable costs is a challenge. Moreover, consequent to margin shrinkages, balance sheets of several current players are stressed, which makes it difficult to take on additional debt. The Government will have to create a supportive environment for in-vestors, lenders and steelmakers to raise the capital required at competitive costs. The out come of this seminar can be to set up a “Steel Development Corporation” for the same in line with Power Finance corporation..

On an average to set up an integrated steel plant takes 7–8 years. If 300 MT to be setup by 2030 , then order placement of plant must start with 2022-2023. Land to be under possesion, environ-mental clearance, forest clearance would take another 3-4 years. So land where these plants will come up must be finalized by 2020. Feasibility report /detailed Project report preparation would take another 2 years ie. 2018.Thus, in order to plan the 300 MT plan the Feasibility report /detailed Project report preparation work has to start from 2017 only.

It is a big challenge for Indian engineers , There are various engineers seating here (mainly from MECON) who had done the second launch pad of ISRO when India’s door for technologies are closed by other countries. I am sure engineers can deliver the steel production of 300 MTPA, Thus, this is the right time to go full steam ahead for the 2030 plan.

Technology chosen must be environmental friendly, energy efficient and if possible water cooled based to air cooled based technology, less land required technology should be selected.

I was told that around 200 nos of delegates from India and abroad have registered and they are all related to steel , be it producer, supplier, manufacturer, Engineering faculties, consultants, researchers. I hope all the delegates & invited guest are well settled in this hill station at Ranchi and definitely wish all enjoy the cold weather with some heated discussions / arguments. I am sure that all of you will be enriched after listening the memorial lecture. State of art lecture. The speakers are well known in their field and contributed immensely in the field of metallurgi-cal engg. I am sure that this Convention will provide a good platform to exchange ideas thus reaching an appropriate conclusion for defining the future growth of the Indian steel industry in the upcom-ing future. Pl think of the great slogan which has changed the history in eight year ago by President nomi-nee Mr Barack Obama that YES WE CAN. Dear Engineer friend, YES WE CAN , You must think YES WE CAN. After eight years now the Mr Barack Obama said “yes we have done it”. I hope when we meet again in 2030 we will also tell YES WE HAVE DONE IT I wish all of you a happy and prosperous new year 2017. Thank you SANJAY SEN

The Metallurgical & Materials Engineering Division of the Institution organized its apex annual event for the 30th occasion in the form of National Convention on the theme ‘Challenges & Opportunities to produce 300 MTPA of Steel by 2030’, hosted by Jharkhand State Centre of the Institution in association with MECON Limited at Ranchi, during January 28-29, 2017.

While speaking on the occasion, Shri Sai informed the gathering that India has surpassed America and pres-ently the third largest producer of crude steel. However, we should strive towards improving our per capita con-sumption of steel, which stands at a meagre 61 kg against the consumption figures of the developed na-tions, added Shri Sai. He said that government is focus-sing on and encouraging the secondary steel producers who can play a major role in meeting our target of pro-ducing 300 MTPA of steel by 2030. He also said that the steel and ispat producers are encouraged to spend at least 1% of their turn-over in R&D. ‘Steel Research and Technology Vision’, have been formulated to provide R&D support to all players involved in steel production.

Mr Sanjay Sen, Chairman, Jharkhand State Centre, IEI welcomed the august gathering. He informed that the theme chosen for the National Convention goes on to show the farsightedness of the organizers. He informed that the theme was finalized in 2015 and found a complete echo in the draft National Steel Policy formulated by the Govern-ment of India in 2017. Mr. Sen also informed that about Rs. 10 lakh crore is required for 300 MTPA of steel. To ar-range this fund the government may set up a “Steel Development Corporation” in line with Power Finance Corporation. As set up of a mega steel plant takes about 07-08 years, and different clearance take another 3-4 years, so to achieve the target of 300 MTPA steel by 2030, prepara-tion of feasibility report / detailed project report has to be started by 2017-18. The Guest of Honour, Dr G Vishwakarma, Direc-tor (Projects & Business Planning), SAIL, while speaking on the occasion said that schemes such as affordable housing, expansion of railway net-work, ship building etc. will demand increased steel production. He also spoke about the road-map of SAIL to meet these demands. Special Purpose Steels have received a lot of attention from SAIL lately, added Dr Vishwakarma.

Prof (Dr) N R Bandyopadhyay, Chairman of Metallurgical & Materials Engineering Division Board while presiding on the occasion praised the Jharkhand State Centre and MECON for organizing the Convention on a topic which focuses on road-map of steel making in India for the coming decade. He also thanked big industries and consultan-cies which have came forward and supported this event. India is poised to become the 2nd largest steel maker which can be realized through capacity building and setting up of more green plants. He suggested that the ‘gram sevak’ model may be adopted and dedicated personnel may be entrusted with some target based responsibility of creating more demand for steel in rural India. He expressed hope that with participation of major steel industries the delib-erations will be in its right perspective and will emanate good recommendations. Shri Atul Bhatt, CMD, MECON, while speaking on the theme, dwelt on the vision plan to achieve the 300 MTPA Steel production target and removal of bottlenecks plaguing our production capacity.

Shri P K Sarangi, Director (Technology), MECON Limited also addressed the gathering. Mr K K Mehrotra, Member, MMDB, IEI and Former CMD MECON also attended the Convention and delivered a lecture on the topic ‘Shining Years Ahead for Indian Steel Industries’. Shri Atul Bhatt, CMD, MECON, honoured with Memento & Shawl to Chief Guest, Shri Vishnu Deo Sai, Hon’ble Minister of State for Steel, Government of India. The prestigious V Subramony Memorial Lecture was delivered by Dr. K. Chattopadhyay, Distinguished Professor, Department of Materials and Interdisciplinary Centre for Energy Research, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore on the topic ‘Playing with ordering: A pathway for developing new alloys’. Dr Chattopadhyay while delivering the lecture said that we do not have the ecosystem which will support research aimed at synthesizing next-gen materi-als.

The emphasis will be on finding something new, support it big time and develop it further. He spoke on state of the art research being carried out in laboratory scale on ordering and steel, maraging steel, co-precipitation of ordered precipitates, playing with copper addition, order of Fe-Si alloys (Electrical steels)-effect of addition of ‘Si” in reduc-ing magnetostriction properties facilitating its use in transformers. He discussed synthesis of Fe-6.5Si, ordered pre-cipitates and development of high temperature of aluminium alloys utilising L12 ordered precipitate alloy. He also spoke about new class of ‘W’ free γ-γ’ cobalt based super alloys and further development through addition of Ni, Ti,

On this occasion, a state-of-the art lecture was delivered by Dr A S Firoz, Chief Economist, Ministry of Steel, Govern-ment of India. While delivering the lecture Dr Firoz spoke on the challenges in the way of enhancing our capacity of Steel production. He spoke about the steel market and its vagaries owing to dynamism in global economy. Dr Firoz informed that it is estimated that 300 MTPA of steel pro-duction will require 10 lakh crore of initial capital invest-ment and 30 lakh crore in sectors which come into play post production. He said that with a conservative assump-tion of debt to equity ratio of 1:1, the steel industry is ex-pected to generate and invest 5 lakh crore in capacity building. Dr. Firoz also added that human resource devel-opment is a grey area and needs a lot of attention.

On this occasion, three Eminent Engineering Personalities, namely, Dr. Sanjay Kumar Dhua, Deputy General Manager & Head, Materials Characterization Lab Group, RDCIS, SAIL, Ranchi; Dr Soumitra Tarafder, Chief Scientist & Head, Materials Science & Technology Division, Professor, Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research, CSIR-NML, Jamshedpur and Shri Binoy Bhusan Majumder, General Manager, MECON Limited, Mumbai were felicitated for their immense contribution to the Metallurgical & Materials Engineering profession.

The ‘IEI Young Engineers Award’ in Metallurgical & Materials Engineering Division for the year 2016-17 was pre-sented to Mr K Sairam, Scientific Officer ‘D’, BARC Mumbai and Mr Gaurav Vats, Research Scholar & Teaching As-sistant, IITB Monash Research Academy, IIT Bombay (in absentia).

On this occasion a Souvenir was also released by the Chief Guest and other dignitaries on dais. A Technical Exhibi-tion was also inaugurated on the occasion by the Chief Guest. Mr M R Kumar, Hony. Secretary, Jharkhand State Centre, IEI proposed the vote of thanks during the memorial lec-ture and valedictory session.

Large numbers of papers embracing the theme of the National Seminar were presented and discussed during the five technical sessions.

Some Memorable Snaps.......

During MMDB Board meeting following recommendation / Suggestion has been given to meet “Challenges & Opportunities to produce 300 MTPA steel by 2030” -

To produce 300 MTPA steel by 2030, all infrastructure facilities like rail, road, port, mines etc should be ready.

Action must be initiated for infrastructural facilities by 2020. Feasibility, Detailed Project Report for steel plant must be initiated by 2017-18 Land and statutory clearance must be obtained by 2022. Order for package should be started by 2023. Energy efficient, environmental friendly technologies must be implemented. For funding of the project Govt Should form Steel Finance Corporation like Power.

All Executive committee members, Sub – committee members, all members of IEI, all Organising Committee members, press& media and ladies and gentlemen. It gives me immense pleasure to extend to you all a very warm welcome on behalf of the Institution of Engineers (India), Jharkhand State Centre, and to say how grateful we are to all the distinguished dele-gates, Guest who have accepted our invitation to this 28thNational Convention of Mining Engineers and a national seminar on “Challenges for Sustainable Development of Mining Industry to meet Energy Se-curity” here at the beautiful “Mayuri” Auditorium, CMPDI, Ranchi, Jharkhand. Let me take this opportunity to inform you that, IEI, Jharkhand State Centre is among the best state cen-ters in India. Last year also we once again bagged the Best Center Award which was given to us on 18th Dec. 2016 during Engineering Congress held at Kolkata. Mining industries have and will play a very important role in for the economic development our country. Mining can be a significant contributor to the socioeconomic development of vast mineral-rich districts across India. Thus, I must congratulate our committee members of Mining division board for choosing a topics which is very pertinent in todays’ energy deprived context.

The Mining sector contributed about 2.4% of GDP in 2014-15 as per the data released by Central Statistical Organiza-tion under Ministry of Statistics & Pro-gramme implementation. India is a min-eral rich country and has favorable geo-logical setup which is yet to be fully ex-plored, assessed and exploited. Historically, the extraction of mineral reserves has always resulted in varying degrees of environmental resource deg-radation and social impacts. The Indian mining sector often faces criticism on

several issues relating to its performance with respect to sustainable development. While ac-knowledging the fact that no mining can be free from all negative impacts, there is suffi-cient ground to suggest that all round per-formance on mining needs to be urgently and substantially improved in India.

While acknowledging the fact that no mining can be free from all negative impacts, there is sufficient ground to suggest that all round performance on mining needs to be urgently and substantially improved in India.

The HUDA High-level Committee reviewed the National Mineral Policy in 2005 and recommended the development of a Sustainable Development Framework for Indian mining sector. Consultations began in 2008 at multiple levels resulted in the Sustainable Development framework comprising principles, report-ing initiatives and good practice guidelines. The Government of India came up with 8 point Sustainable development Framework (SDF)s for the in-dustry as:

Incorporating Environmental and Social Sensitivities in decisions on leases, Strategic Assessment in Key Mining regions, Managing impacts at the Mine level impact through sound management systems, Addressing Land, Resettlement and Other Social Impacts, Community engagement, benefit sharing and contribution to socio-economic development, Mine Closure and Post Closure Mining operations must prepare, manage and progressively work on

a process for eventual mine closure, Ethical functioning and responsible business practices, Assurance and Reporting.

The process of driving the SDFs is to several initiatives: 1. Inclusion of some elements of the SDF into regulation, 2. Inter-departmental cooperation for jointly reviewing performance against the SDF,

Evaluating applications and bids using additional criteria from the SDF for environmental and other clearances.

Each mining company is expected to follow the SDF principle in their mining activities over the period of time. The SDFs promote an early assessment of the social and environmental risks and careful develop-ment of strategies and plans to identify, assess and manage the risks through various stages. As on 31 March 2015, India had estimated coal reserves of 306.6 billion metric tons (338.0 billion short tons), the fifth largest coal reserves in the world. India is the fourth largest producer of coal in the world, producing 536.5 million metric tons (591.4 million short tons) in 2014. Coal is the backbone of modern day electricity. Coal currently supplies about 30% of the primary energy and of the global electricity genera-tion. Coal use is expected to rise to 50% by 2030, with developing countries accounting for 97% of this in-crease, mainly to meet the improved electrification rates. Coal is still a key component to the important industrial process industry like the steel and cement indus-try, both of which are central to building the essential infrastructure of a growing economy like India. The coal industry directly provided employment to more than 07 (seven) million jobs worldwide and sup-ports many millions more. With the Indian economy expected to grow by approximately 7% in the years to come, sectors such as in-frastructure and automobiles will receive a renewed thrust, which would further generate demand for power and steel in the country. This is expected to provide a major thrust to the demand of minerals like coal and iron ore. The growth in the mining sector in terms of production of minerals has significantly improved in comparison to recent past. It is pertinent to recall that the sector recorded a negative growth of 0.6% for two consecutive years (2011-12 and 2012-13). There has been a notable turn around ever since government has taken initiative for policy reforms. This turnaround is very much visible in terms of growth in Gross Value Added (GVA) in mining and quarry-ing sector. The sector grew by 5.4% and 2.4% in 2013-14 and 2014-15 respectively. During 2015-16, so far the sector has recorded a growth of 3.6% in comparison to similar period last year. The results of Index of Industrial Production for 2015-16 up to the month of Mar, 2016 indicate that during the period, mining and quarrying segment showed an increase of 2.2% in comparison to same period last year. There is a no-ticeable surge in mineral production in India.

Production of major minerals during the current financial year up to March has recorded the growth of 9 % in comparison to same period last year. The real contributor to this growth have been Bauxite (27%), Chromite (33%), Copper Conc. (30%), Iron ore (21%) and Lead Conc. (32%) in the metallic segment. This growth story is significant as international commodity market is in state of turmoil owing to weak signals coming from the Chinese economy. Minerals like manganese, lead, copper, alu-mina are expected to witness double digit growth in the years ahead. There is significant scope for new mining capacities in iron ore, bauxite, and coal. India has an advantage in the cost of production and in conversion costs of steel and alumina. Sustained growth in India’s automotive sector has been driving demand for steel and aluminium. Infrastructure projects continue to pro-vide lucrative business opportunities for steel, zinc and aluminium producers.

The liquid fuels produced through Coal To Liquid technologies are high-performance, low-emission products. The synthetic GTL-based diesel is an environmentally cleaner burning fuel as it leads to a reduction in carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon and particulatematter without compro-mising NOx emissions even when compared to European sulfur-free diesel. Similarly we can ex-tensively use the technology like UCG,CBM as operated in developed countries.

There are a few concerns about India's energy future. One is that India is likely to continue to be dependent on external suppliers, whether in oil, gas, or nuclear power. Unless new technologies are proven to be commercially viable in the near future, India looks to have relatively little en-ergy security. India's attempts to gain guaranteed supply lines have not succeeded as well as those of the other country. The chances that energy will become a bottleneck for industrial growth are fairly high. The only alternative is coal, but the widespread use of that will attract much criticism from around the globe, and will create pollution and global warming. Therefore, it is not realistic to depend on coal alone. Until renewables come along in a big way, India will simply be energy-insecure. I was told that around 150 nos of delegates from India have registered and they are all related to mines, be it producer, supplier, manufacturer, Engineering faculties, consultants, researchers. I hope all the delegates & invited guest are well settled in this hill station at Ranchi and definitely wish all enjoy the upcoming spring season with some heated discussions / arguments. I am sure that all of you will be enriched after listening to the insights provided in the memorial lectures, State of art lecture. The speakers are well known in their field and contributed im-mensely in the field of mining engineers. I am sure that this Convention will provide a good platform to exchange ideas thus reaching an appropriate conclusion for defining the future growth of the Indian Mining industry in the up-coming future. At last I will conclude the famous proverb of Father of Nation Mahatma Gandhi “ we inherited this earth from our forefathers , we should preserve it and hand over to our next generation” Thank You.

Address of Chairman, IEI, JSC on the occasion of All India Seminar of Agricultural Engineers at Ranchi on 17TH-18TH February, 2017.

To the chief Guest Shri Sudarshan Bhagat Ji, Honourable minister of Agriculture, Govt of India, Guest of Honour Shri Prabakar Behera, GM NABARD, Dr KK Sharma Director ICAR-IINRG, Dr Niranjan Prasad Convenor of this seminar, Delegates from all over the country, all presenters who will present their papers, all eminent guest who had come from different institute of a person’s of repute, All Organising Committee members, press & media and ladies and gentlemen. It gives me great pleasure to extend to you all a very warm welcome on behalf of the Institution of Engineers (India), JSC, Ranchi and to say how grateful we are to all the distinguished dele-gates who have accepted the invitation to this ALL India Seminar of Agricultural Engineers on "Recent Trends in Biopolymers"here at the ICAR-Indian Institute of Natural Resins and Gums campus, Namkum, Jharkhand. Let me take this opportunity to inform you that, IEI, Jharkhand State Centre is among the best state centers in India. Last year also we once again bagged the Best Center Award which was given to us on 18th Dec. 2016 during Engineering Congress held at Kolkata. The Institution of Engineers (India) has established Agricultural Engineering Division in the year 1978. This Division consists of quite a large number of corporate members from Government, Public, Private sectors, Academia and R&D Organizations. Various types of technical activities organized by the Agricultural Engineering Division include All India Seminars, All India Work-shops, Lectures, Panel Discussions, National Conference etc., which are held at various State/Local Centres of the Institution which is around 120 centres.

Two Day Seminar on Agricultural Engineering

Apart from these, National Convention of Agricultural Engineers is an Apex activity of this Divi-sion, which is also organized each year on a particular theme approved by the Agricultural Engi-neering Division Board and Council of the Institution. In the National Convention, several tech-nical sessions are arranged on the basis of different sub-themes along with a Memorial Lecture in the memory of “Rathindranath Tagore”, the eminent Scientist and first Vice Chancellor of Visva Bharati, West Bengal a Central University, which is delivered by the experts in this field. In order to promote the research and developmental work taking place in the field of agricultural engi-neering, Te Institution also publishes Journal through Springer (IEI- Series A) where mainly the re-searches and its findings are focused. Due to multi-level of activities related to this engineering discipline, this division covers different sub-areas such as,

Innovative mechanization for small and marginal farmers under rain fed agriculture Mitigation Options in Agriculture due to possible Impact of Climate Change in Indian Sub-

continent Income Generation for Small and Marginal Farmers through Value Addition of Agricultural

and Allied Produce Recent Innovations in Water Saving under Agriculture Sector Reclamation Measures for Degraded Land Rainwater Harvesting and Recharging of Unconfined Aquifer Roof Water Harvesting: Myths and Facts of Technological Options Primary and Secondary Tillage for Enhanced Soil Moisture under Dry Land Agriculture Watershed Management: A Technological Option for Mitigation of Impact of Climate Change Recent Innovations in Improving Efficiency of Unorganized Small Scale Agroprocessing

Units Technological Options for Rain Water Harvesting Appropriate Model of Custom Hiring Agricultural Machines Precision Farming and High-tech Agriculture Value Addition and Small Scale processing Renewable Energy Applications in Agriculture ICT for Sustainable Agriculture GIS & Remote Sensing Application in Land and Water Management Participatory Irrigation Management Water Footprint & Virtual Water Approach

This year 30th National Convention of Agricultural Engineers has been finalized on the theme, “Technological Innovations for Enhancing Profitability of Small and Marginal Farm” to be hosted by Pantnagar Local Centre of the Institution during February 27-28, 2017 in collaboration with College of Technology, G B Pant University of Agriculture & Technology, Pantnagar. Total members in agriculture division of IEI are 1368, out of which members in Jharkhand is 8 and in Ranchi it is only 4. In Ranchi there are various institution who are doing marvelous work/research work in the field of agriculture engg. But as members in IEI is very less we as IEI Jharkhand state centre could not focus them in national scene. I hope as most of you are agriculture engineers, if you join IEI as member/fellow then we can project your contribution before national bodies.

Thus, I must congratulate Organising committee members for choosing a topics on ALL India Seminar of Agricultural Engineers on "Recent Trends in Biopolymers"here at the ICAR-Indian Institute of Natural Resins and Gums campus, Namkum, Jharkhand.which is very pertinent in todays’ context. Currently, the agriculture sector contributes only about 13.7 per cent to the national GDP (compared to 30% in 1990), though agricultural production in 2013 was at all-time high of 264 million tonnes.The agri-cultural economy that grew at an average rate of 3.7 per cent per year during 2007-2012, is projected to grow annually at 4.0 per cent during 2012-2017, with growth in national GDP estimated at 6-7 per cent.The gross value of goods and services provided by the forestry sector is estimated at an average of Rs. 26,330 crores i.e. about 2.37 % of GDP. Of this recorded forest revenue about 60% comes from minor forest products including gums and resins. Biopolymers and Bioplastics are available for the last decade or so, has the potential to reduce the petro-leum consumption for plastic by 15-20% by 2025. Improved technical properties and innovations open new markets and applications with higher profit potentials in automotive, medicine and electronics. It is estimated Biopolymers & Bioplastics cover approximately 10-15% of the total plastics market and will in-crease market share to 25-30% by 2020. Indonesia, India and China are among the World’s major producers of gums and resins. India produces annually about 2,81,000 t of these valuable natural products. Of these, about 55,500 t are resins, 2,24,000 t of gums and about 1500 t of gum-resins. India is traditionally largest producer of lac, guar gum and karaya gum. In recent years, due to back to the nature trend there has been a revival of interest in natural resins and gums extracted from forests by rural and tribal people who depend on these resources to sus-tain their livelihood. In recent years the research and development of biopolymers has been gaining significant momentum, driven by “green chemistry” and sustainability principles which are increasingly adapted in the industry. The increased research and development of renewable energy sources, specifically of bio-fuels like bio-ethanol which is produced from grains or biomass and biodiesel which is produced from plant oils, also drives the development of biopolymers. I recently read that, some biopolymers like polylactic acid (PLA) are already becoming common place as ‘green’ and biodegradable packaging materials, others biopolymers are more esoteric. An example is BioSteel which are protein fibers produced from milk from goats that had been genetically modified with spider silk genes. The polymers are reportedly up to 10 times stronger than steel for the same weight. Job led inclusive agricultural growth even in disadvantaged regions and situations is possible by ensuring much needed processing, value addition, diversified product development or applications and ensuring effective marketing through production to consumption value chain. Such a venture would help the pri-mary producer as well to realize enhanced worth of his produce and hence trigger the growth further. Since gums and resins cannot be used fresh, primary processing and value addition are of paramount im-portance. There was a need to formalize the research mechanism and system to develop the sub-sector in right earnest to promote commerce in agriculture through its diversification besides augmenting climate moderation. Currently biopolymers constitute only a relatively small part of industrial polymeric materials, but judg-ing by the sheer amount research and development on the subject a lot of growth can be expected in the near future. I hope all the delegates & invited guest are well settled in this hill station at Ranchi and definitely wish all enjoy the weather with some heated discussions / arguments. I am sure that this seminar will provide a good platform to exchange ideas thus reaching an appropriate conclusion for defining the future growth of the Indian biopolymer industry in the upcoming future.
