Message from President

Dear Esteemed Members, Greetings!

As the year 2014 comes to end, my term as President of India Section also ends and a new President will assume office and will handle the programs in the coming year. The term from August 2013 to December 2014 was eventful and India Section has been visible along with other professional bodies in India and organized various technical programs and conferences in different regions. The highlight of all programs is the International Con­ference on Sustainable Civil Infrastructure (ICSCI 2014) that was held in Hyderabad during 17-18 October 2014 and this newsletter contains a report on the conference. The conference was held in association with Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad. The conference received over­whelming response from India and Abroad and well attended. Prof. Sireesh Saride and Dr. Munwar Basha took up this mammoth task and han­dled very well, and I sincerely thank them for taking up this responsibility. Mr. K P Pradeep, Mr. Anchuri Srinivas, Dr. P Anbalaghan, and the other officers of the Eastern, Northern, Southern and Western regions have been of considerable help in organizing the events and I sincerely thank them.
