I.E.I NEWS
Very often engineers who are employed in different industries don’t goin for research and technology development, even though they mayhave a talent for it. Further, industry is also not keen to invest in R&Dunless its innovations are adequately protected and rewarded by wayof assured Return of Investment. This has now become critical in the
era of globalisation. Alvin Tofer the famous American writer, knownfor his work discussing the digital revolution and communicationrevolution said that “Yesterday, violence was power, today wealth ispower and tomorrow knowledge will be power”. It is of no doubt thattechnical knowledge and the ability to develop and adopt technologyis now dominating the market. Industry investment in fundamentalR&D undertaken in academic institutions is crucial for establishingrapid product development cycles and for introducing new products.Many companies have re-engineered themselves to full thisobjective but are worried about how to transform the knowledge andthe ideas generated into rapid product development, since immediateassistance from academia is not always available for the latter.
A radically new approach is required to correct this trend. To get a directbearing on their business results, the industries should give emphasison using academic institutes to undertake research on their behalf.Academic institutes, on their part, must get ready to face this challenge.Undoubtedly, in India, there is little doubt that knowledge, which is notavailable anywhere else, exists at least in pockets. However, suchknowledge in isolation cannot be used due to lack in communication –to be precise technology communication. The National Laboratories,the Universities, IITs and even some local level NGOs and Artisansare storehouses of technical knowhow. This type of expertise needsto be nurtured and encouraged, if it has to be converted into wealthi.e. by closing the loop and making the results of research applicable
to the society as well as industry. There is no doubt that in this area,industry has a signicant role to play. The establishment of adequate
The IEI delegation, led by Mr H C S Berry, President IEI and consisting
of Mr S L Garg, President FEISCA and Past President IEI; andMr Navin B Vasoya, Member, FEISCA Executive Committee and Past
Vice President IEI, participated in the 14th Annual Convention of Nepal
Engineers’ Association (NEA) on the theme ‘Engineering Excellence :
Impetus for National Advancement’, which was held during February
17-19, 2016 at Kathmandu, Nepal.
Mr Kishore Shakya, Past President NEA and also Past President
FEISCA, along with Mr Dilip Kumar Jha, Senior Vice President of
FEISCA, graced the occasion. Representing the host organization,
Mr Dhruba Raj Thapa, President; Mr Kishore Kumar Jha, General
Secretary; and Mrs Anuradha Sharma Adhikari, Past General Secretaryof NEA, respectively, were present at the event along with a galaxy of
practicing engineers and students of Nepal.
The FEISCA Regional Seminar on the theme ‘Regional Cooperation on
Knowledge Management for Innovation’ was also held on February 18,
2016 concurrently with the NEA event. The India country paper on the
topic ‘Clean and Affordable Energy : Challenges before Indian Power
Sector’ was presented and discussed at the FEISCA Seminar. The
other FEISCA member countries also presented their country papers
on varied subjects.
Apart from India, delegations from other FEISCA member organizations
in the neighbouring countries, namely, The Institution of Engineers,Bangladesh (IEB); The Institution of Engineers, Pakistan (IEP) and

communication channels between scientists, professors, technology-developers and industry is the need of the hour. To begin with, it may bebenecial to identify product and technology based expertise available inthe country in different institutions and other corners of the country andmake this known to industry. Industry, instead of having a self-motiveand product-centric approach should encourage wider coverage andhave the genuine desire to promote R&D infrastructure developmentin laboratories/educational institutes. Enhancement of industry’s R&Dinfrastructure both in the private and public sectors, would add to the
effectiveness of the industry’s involvement in the total programme. Thismay lead to Centres of Excellence emerging in selected disciplines anda “win-win” situation for the nation.
In this regard, the basic point, which we from The Institution of Engineers(India) would highlight that a national policy should be created, so that,the working engineers employed in the industries are deployed by theindustries to different R&D Institutes and Universities to undertakeapplied research on product and process development. The engineersassociated with the industries, who have the best and up-to-dateknowledge about the requirement of their respective industries, mustbe involved along with their counterparts in the academic institutes inthe form of collaborative researches, so that, the outcomes are testedon real-time basis and there is no hitch between the developer andthe user. Even when a technology is imported, academia expertise
should be utilized by industry for technology assessment, upgradation,and absorption to ensure that the acquired technology is suitable forindigenous raw materials and indigenously fabricated equipment.
