|
|
A major industrial development and growth process started in India during the fifties soon after Independence. Substantial Investments were made to create the infrastructure and foundation for a manufacturing base of different kind of industries towards the growth of the Country. Trained technical personnel with expert knowledge to keep pace with the developments within India & abroad were an essential requirement for rapid Industrial growth with self - reliance. In order to foster development of the welding profession in India, the members of the erstwhile Indian Chapter of British Institute of Welding – London took the initiative to form The Indian Institute of Welding, which was incorporated on the 22nd April 1966 at Calcutta.
The Institute was promoted by Industries engaged in the fabrication of critical plant & equipment, pipeline, structures for factories, mining, ship building, power - plants, railways etc. Industries engaged in providing Welding Consumables and Equipment for Oil, Steel, Cement, Petro - Chemical, Fertiliser and many other sectors are fully involved. Experts from Research and Development Organisations, IITs, Engg. Institutions & Laboratories doing basic research and application development work for critical welding, with faculties from Universities / IIT’s engaged in Welding related Science and Technology are also actively involved with the Institute.
