The Indian Institute of Welding Eighth Annual General Meeting

I deem it as a great privilege to have been invited to be present here this evening at the 8th Annual General Meeting of The Indian Institute of Welding. As Shri Shahaney and Dr. Dastur have already outlined, this Institute has been doing yeoman service in the field of welding in our country through its activities first as the Indian branch of the British Institute of Welding, since 1948, and later as a full-fledged Institute. I am sure that the Institute will continue to gather strength and render greater service to the industry.
