Abstract

I am extremely happy to be present here on the occasion of the National Welding Seminar- 1995 organized by the Cochin Branch of IIW. This is the fourth NWS over which I am presiding a record for a President which is my fortune more by default and accident rather than by design. In 1992 at Calcutta as the then President had to go to Qermany, in 1993 at Bhilai, 1994 at Jamshedpur and 1995 at Cochin as the AQM for this year has got delayed. This prestigious event presents me with another opportunity to share my views and thoughts with a large gathering of IIW members, to interact with specialist scientist and engineers and to discuss with them the latest developments in the field of welding science and technology. As I have done in the previous two National Welding Seminars, this year also I shall provide an update on the progress made by various Committees and constituents of IIW. I shall also briefly touch upon the latest challenges in the field of welding.
