Er. R. RadhakrishnanSecretary General

This issue carries the Elections - 2013

notice, Nomination form for election

and also the announcement on

ICI Awards -2013. The relevant

nomi na t i on f o rms cou l d b e

downloaded from our website. Should

you require any further clarification,

please feel free to mail us to

[email protected] or call us at 044-

24912602.

Dear Members,

We are a 10,000 strong

professional body! It

gives a great feeling

a n d i m m e n s e

satisfaction that we

are still growing. Yet

this is an important

milestone in our

history of the last threedecades. It is the result of selfless work

carried out by a whole lot of dedicated

professionals. I am happy that more and

more professionals are getting attracted

to our Institute and so are our activities.

I hope that the growth will continue

probably on a faster pace and will cross

the next 10,000 within this decade itself.

The world is changing. So is the World of

Concrete. So are the technologies,

materials and professionals. Managing

these changes is not easy. Here I must

quote Lewis Carroll from 'Alice in

Wonderland' My dear, here we must

run as fast as we can, just to stay in

place. And if you wish to go anywhere

you must run twice as fast as that. Let's

run twice as fast.

In managing the change communication

is the key. The younger generation has

already embraced the 'Social Media'

which uses faster but shorter texts. It is

necessary that ICI too look at

possibilities to effectively utilise the

soc ia l med ia as a means o f

communication especially in the context

of growing student chapters. The Kochist

GC on the 1 June will give a thought in

this direction to find ways and means toutilise this powerful medium for

communication with our members.

Another area in which we must delve

into is the way we keep the

communication lines open to have

continuous communication and

updates on technical matters. We do a

number of technical programmes but

without any follow up actions. In case

we can keep communicating with the

participants and the resource persons,

we will create a very active professional

community. The e-learning platform is

such a development. After every

technical programme we leave the lines

open for consultations among

participants and resource persons forthat matter anyone who is interested in

the subject for a longer duration. The

New Delhi centre after their successful

completion of the workshop on 'IRC

Limit State code for Concrete Bridges

IRC 112' has just done that. The

participants were given a facility to

continue consultations and this has

become a good forum as an effective

follow up action. There are agencies

which can undertake this activity on our

behalf and the Kochi GC will be giving a

thought in this direction.

The next Worksop on C&D Waste

Recycling is being planned at Chennai

IIT during 5th & 6th August 2013. We

will have faculty coming from Korea,

Norway, Singapore and experts from

India taking part in the workshop. This

is being done with the support of the

Ministry of Urban Development,

Government of India and they are very

keen that the programme is repeated in

other parts of the country too. The next

one is planned to be done in Mumbai

later this year.

The IC I-B MTPC pr og ramm e fo r

certification for Laboratory Technicians

is doing well. The Mumbai centre hasjust concluded a programme. The Delhi

programme was just got inaugurated by

the Executive Director, BMTPC on the

11th May. The Chennai Programme is

already on. The Nagpur centre too has

just started the programme. It is

expected that the Pune will start their

programmes early.

The Quality Council of India has

launched the Third Party Certification

Programme for Ready Mixed Concrete

Plants on the 17th of May during a

function held in Delhi. They have

created a Technical Document 'Criteria

for RMC Production Control' and a

Certification Document 'Certification

Process for RMC Plant CertificationScheme' which will form the backbone of

the system. There will be two levels of

certifications, the basic one 'RMC

Capability Certification' and an

advanced one called the RMC 9000+

Capability Certification' which will also

certify the management process. QCI

will accredit Certifying Agencies who will

carry out certification throughout the

country. This was a long felt need of the

Industry and it is hoped that the RMC

scene will undergo a change for the

better.

The Head Quarters has come out with

the announcement of election

programme for 2013 -15. I hope all of

you will actively participate in the

process. We must bring out genuine

leaders and technocrats to the forefront

to spearhead the growth of this great

institute to further heights.

The centres too shall take care to

conduct their elections which should be

completed before September 2013. The

centres shall also see that the accounts

are closed, audited and information

passed on to the Head Quarters early.

Wish you all the best.
