Address

I feel grately honoured at being asked to address at this All India Conference on Engineering Materials and Equipment organised by the Association of Engineers. I hesitate, however, to address this galaxy of engineers, scientists, industrialists and others who know much more in this matter. I am told that this conference will deal particularly with the requirements of engineering materials and equipment for urban development works and I am expected to speak as Chairman of the Calcutta Metropolitan Development Authority which has been charged with the responsibility of developing the Calcutta metropolitan area. I shall, therefore, speak of the problems of Calcutta as I see them.
