The Fertilizer plant at Sindri is a project that would greatly aid the "Grow More Food" scheme by producing artificial fertilizers for cultivation of poor soils where natural fertilizers are unavailable and thus relieve to some extent the problem of finding food for the growing population of India and the world. As food is the first need of all mankind, this plant is one of interest to all and the technical features are of particular interest to Engineers. For the benefit of those who were unable to avail themselves of the opportunity provided recently by the Association to visit the plant we publish in this issue some particulars contained in the report of the address by Brig. Cox to the members of the Institute of Engineers on the occasion of their visit and also some notes presented by Professor Dr. J. N. Basu.
