Editorial Dear Readers, I wish you all “A Very Happy, Prosperous & Knowledgeable New Year” on behalf of ARAI. Engineering colleges & Universities have been springing up like wild mushrooms in India. Their number has gone up from a not too modest 1,511 colleges in 2006-07 to an astoundingly high 3,345 in 2014-15. India’s Higher Education System contributes about 1.5 million engineers and 2.5 million university graduates annually to our workforce. The automotive industry faces a major challenge of finding employable resources. According to the Automotive Mission Plan 2026, the Indian auto industry will be among the top three in the world in terms of engineering, manufacturing and export of vehicles as well as auto components. This will be in line with global standards growing in value to over 12% of India’s GDP and generating an additional 65 million jobs. The Indian automotive industry and academic institutes has work hard to improve quality of students graduating every year. The industry needs to interact more with the academia in order to groom students as prospective employees. Highlighting this issues Autocar Professional, with support from ARAI, organised a day-long seminar on the theme of ‘Industry-Academia Collaboration and India’s Growth’ on 1st December 2015 at ARAI, Pune Campus. The seminar brought together over 100 participants, faculty from various institutions, business people, engineering experts and ongoing & outgoing students from a number of institutions. The seminar featured three presentations followed by panel discussion centered on the barriers to successful industry-academia collaboration, and the critical ingredients of success stories. Seminar Speakers / Panelist Participants interacting with Panelist Ever increasing demand of moving people and goods is a part of rapid economic growth in emerging economies. The increase in mobility and economic growth has triggered the boom in the number and use of motor vehicles, Motor vehicles are emerging as major source of urban air pollution. The extent of automotive emission has the attention of all stake holders such as vehicle & component manufacturers, regulators, NGOs and end users due to its impact on environment and business. ARAI conducted a PIP on “Evolution of Emission Control in India: From BS I to BS VI”on 4th December 2015, which discussed on new draft regulations and current pathways available to mitigate the automotive emission. This programme also covered the evolution of emission norms and associated technological changes in India covering the categories of two, three and four Wheelers. At the technology front, the following Proficiency Improvement Programmes (PIPs) are scheduled atARAI, Pune: l 5 Day PIP on “Engine Electronics & Management System” from 11th to 15th January 2016 at ARAI, Pune l 5 Day PIP on “Engine Emission & Control” from 18th to 22nd January 2016 at ARAI, Pune in association with ECMA l 5 Day PIP on “Automotive Functional Safety” from 15th to 19th February 2016 at ARAI, Pune l 3 Day PIP on “Electrochemistry Simulation for Automotive” from 23rd to 25th February 2016 at ARAI, Pune in association with COMSOL & SAEINDIA Western Section. l 5 Day PIP on “Advanced Material and Processing” from 7th to 11th March 2016 at ARAI-FID, Chakan. l 5 Day PIP on “Hybrid Drives, Traction & Controls” from 4th to 8th April 2016 at ARAI, Pune. l 5 Day PIP on “Engine Design & Development” from 25th to 29th April 2016 at ARAI, Pune.
