Kamachi Mudali, President, IIM during NMD Awards Function at Trivandrum on 14th November 2019 Honourable Union Minister of Petroleum, Naturals Gas and Steel, Secretary and Jt. Secretary of Ministry of Steel, Distinguished Colleagues of IIM – on and off the dais, Former Presidents, Office bearers, Chapter Representatives, [RN Parbat, CGK Nair, B Muthuraman, Srikumar Banerjee, L Pugazhenthy, Sanak Mishra, M Narayana Rao, Kamanio Chattopadhyay, RN Patra, S S Mohanty, Anand Sen], Special Invitees from VSSC, NIIST and other Organisations from all over the nation, Industry Representatives, Sponsors, Exhibitors, Supporters, Delegates from all over the nation and Student Community, International delegates, Speakers (Keynote, Oral, Poster & Student), NMD Awardees, Press & Media, Ladies and Gentleman ! Good Morning and a Warm welcome to NMD ATM 2019 at Kovalam, Trivandrum in ‘God’s own country, KERALA’ The celebration and Recognition of excellence of the outstanding contributions of the Indian metallurgy and materials engineering community has been a tradition since 1962, and IIM is extremely proud in joining hands with Ministry of Steel in facilitating the same. The National Metallurgists' Day Awards Scheme was instituted by the Ministry of Steel & Mines, Govt. of India, erstwhile1962 beginning with 6 Awards. In the year 1989, 3 Young Metallurgists awards were added. Currently we have 13 Awards in the categories of Lifetime; National Metallurgists [Industry and R&A]; Metallurgist of the Year [Fe;NF;MS;Env]; Young Metallurgists [Fe;NF;MS] and Certificate of Excellence, are bestowed amongst the recipients, every year. Now it is the 57th National Metallurgists Day (NMD) year, where IIM continues to facilitate & support the pre-eminent initiative of Ministry of Steel to recognize the achievements and potential of India’s prominent leaders, performers & stalwarts in the fraternity. The NMD Awards aim to encourage continued efforts towards excellence in this challenging sector and to celebrate the recipient’s outstanding & phenomenal work and contributions in respective fields. This year recipients of NMD Awards have the privilege to get felicitated by our Hon’ble Minister of Petroleum & Natural Gas and Steel, Shri Dharmendra Pradhan Ji. His illustrious presence along with significant participation of MoS representatives adds sparkle to the 57th NMD Awards Ceremony today. Over 13 awards shall be presented to this year’s awardees in various categories, instituted under the aegis of Ministry of Steel, GOI. “Excellence deserves recognition”, and I personally would like to congratulate each Awardee for your exemplary contributions to the profession, industry, research & academia and setting the highest standards for many aspirants and other members of our Institute. India has made pioneering contributions to the metallurgical field since past, and the standing testimony are the Dancing Girl bronze idol at Delhi Museum, Rustless Delhi Iron Pillar, Damascus Sword from Wootz Steel, Time immemorial South Indian Bronzes, Konark Iron Beams, Kerala’s Aranmula Metal Mirror, etc. Indian metallurgists were excellent technology masters; iron and steel making, zinc distillation, lost wax investment casting of bronzes etc. are some of the wonderful examples. We have made significant contributions in understanding the science and technology of metals and alloys making, structure- property correlations, development of novel and innovative materials with specialized properties and functions, application in extreme conditions with high performance, etc. IIM has broadly classified its metallurgical and materials engineering activities into three domains, namely FERROUS, NON-FERROUS and METAL SCIENCE. Sir, as we all aware presently India is a 2.8 Trillion US $ economy and we need to grow at 10-12% per annum to achieve the 5 trillion US $ economy by 2024, as envisaged by our Honourable Prime Minister. India is Third largest coal producer, Fourth in Iron ore production, Third in Crude steel production, and Third in Aluminium production. I would like to bring to your kind attention the present status of metallurgical industries in the FERROUS and NON-FERROUS sectors, and propose a few points for consideration to the Honourable Minister of Steel to support Indian metallurgical industries and improve their performance in the years to come.

In view of demand and recognition of quality education, the government has set up the ambitious project in the state, he said. Chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, who was also present on the occasion, said the opening of such centres would prove a milestone in promotion of the research and technical education. Later, both also laid the foundation stone of the Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) at Kilohrad village in Sonepat district. Praising Hooda, Pallam Raju said during the past nine years the state government had laid special emphasis on higher and technical education in the state. He said more educational institutions would be set up in the state to lay special emphasis on skill education. He said about 120 lakh children were coming to the work force every year in the country and to impart skill education to them the Centre had set up a number of institutions across the country. As part of same initiative, 20 new IITs were being opened in the country. He said Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had made an action plan to educate 50 crore children by 2022. Speaking on the occasion, Hooda said while the extension campus of IIT-Delhi would be constructed at a cost of Rs.

  • Metal Matrix Micro-Nano Composites and Syntactic Foams
    Abstract Historical developments and recent advances in synthesis, processing and properties of micro-nanocomposites and syntactic foams will be reviewed, including metal graphene composites. Current and possible future uses of these materials for ultralight, self lubricating and self healing healing smart components will be presented. The contributions from India, including from IIT Kanpur, to this field will be highlighted. The potential of manufacture of these components to conserve materials, energy and reduce global warming will be explored. About the speaker Prof. Pradeep Rohatgi is internationally recognized as a world leader for his research and inventions on composites. Dr. Rohatgi is currently a University of Wisconsin and State of Wisconsin Distinguished Professor at the College of Engineering and Applied Science at UWM. He also serves as a Director of UWM Center of Composites and UWM Center for Advanced Material Manufacture. He received his B.S. from IIT-BHU and Doctor of Science in Metallurgy from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1964. He then worked as a research scientist in U.S. for a few years and then, he served as a Professor at the Indian Institute of Science and IIT Kanpur and established two stand-alone Regional Laboratories of CSIR in Trivandrum and Bhopal as their Founder Director. He has published 13 books, 340 papers in refereed journals on materials, 70 papers on technology society interactions, and has received 20 U.S patents and numerous awards for excellence in research and for service to society from all over the world.
