In an attempt to make the publication more useful and reader friendly, we not only decided to present the current contact details of the Fellows and Members but also to present them in an alphabetic order (surname first) and also to classify them into different categories. In addition, it was decided to commence a gradual transformation of the contents of the Directory by including a brief profile of the fellows and members, apart making some other changes. A start has been made in this edition by including the profiles of the members of the governing council and of the most recent fellows elected in 2008-2009. Future editions will ultimately cover all the fellows and the members. Limited resources and a self-imposed deadline did not make these jobs easy. The Email IDs and addresses of the fellows/members elected in the earlier decades were either not available in the earlier publications or had changed. Disciplines / specializations of a large number of fellows & members were also missing. These gaps have to be filled-in.

  • Lt Triveni Singh Paratrooper Sanjog Chhetri (9 Para SF)- Op Sarp Vinash
    Lt Triveni Singh Screen heroes may rekindle memories of the 1999 Kargil War, but Indian Army officer Lieutenant Triveni Singh became a real life hero when he gunned down two terrorists in direct combat. The young soldier's raw courage averted what could have been a bloodbath at Jammu Railway Station on January 2. After accomplishing his duty, the brave officer laid down his life. "I am proud of our young officer Lieutenant Triveni Singh, who braved firing and grenade bursts to kill both the suicide group terrorists in the shortest-ever operation at the railway station," Rajinder Singh, general officer commanding, 26 Infantry Division, said in Jammu. Army sources said Singh, who headed the army's Quick Reaction Team posted at the station, spotted the two heavily armed Lashkar-e-Tayiba terrorists forcing their way into the station in battle fatigues. Singh and his 'Ghatak Commandos' reached the spot within 10 minutes, cordoned off the station and employed the 'zigzag methodology' to arrive within close range of the terrorists, said a senior railway police officer who was at the scene. Singh took on the terrorists in a gunfight at close quarters. He faced indiscriminate firing and lobbing of grenades. He succeeded in killing one of them and took charge of the so far 'uncontrollable' situation, the official said. The first terrorist was killed near the bridge between the first and the second platforms, he added. The second terrorist lobbed a grenade at Singh while trying to escape but the seriously injured officer stood up and killed him before being shot in the head.
