involvement of the new Committee members, they had to initiate and take all
out efforts in the following major thrust areas for the development of Tamilnadu
State Centre:
• Organizing National Conventions; All India Seminars; Workshops and
Other Interactive Activities.
* Disseminating the engineering knowledge among the professional
engineers is the main motto of IEI. To achieve this watchword the
National Conventions; All India Seminars; Workshops etc. should be
conducted regularly correlating the Central and State Government
programmes as well as considering the needs of the Industries and
social sectors so that the professional competence of IEI engineers
could be utilized to productive usage.

• The Industry - Institute Interaction
* Industrialization is the back bone for speedy growth of an economy
and engineering plays an important role. The IEI - Industry interaction
should form an important functional area for future activities.
Tamilnadu State Centre will play a main hub for Industry - Institute
Interaction.
At this juncture, he requested the Guest of Honour Er. K.R.S.R. Krishna
to help him in involving more and more industries to have a healthy interaction

• Technicians' Chapter
* IEI, Headquarters is emphasizing to increase the membership of
Technicians' Chapters which is a major source of income to IEI,

a main role by increasing its membership there by adding strength to
IEI, Headquarters.

membership drive in Engineering Colleges and Industries requesting their
faculties and engineers to enroll themselves as the members of IEI.
At this juncture, he requested the Chief Guest Er. P. Raveendran, an IRTS
Officer in Chennai Port Trust and the Guest of Honour Er. K.R.S.R. Krishna,
an Industrialist to make their colleagues and subordinates to become members

said that life of every human being was at risk and it was the duty of every
individual should follow the safety measures set by the Government
organizations. He said that while driving a car no one should forget fastening
their seat belts to ensure safe driving and protection in case of any untoward
incidents. He quoted the sayings of the Actor Rajnikanth ‘To lead a happy-
go-lucky life instead of leading an aggravated living’. He advised not to
approach any job in the angle of burden instead to approach the same with
passion. Passion towards anything would bring success in life rather than a
pessimistic approach which would doom the entire career of a person.

would bring perfectness in the job they did. He quoted various humourous
happening for not being punctual and the impact. He said that Engineers'
responsibility was to ensure a safe world to the humanities.

World Habitat Day is celebrated on first Monday in the month of October
every year, to pay attention towards the need for better, affordable shelter
all over the world. It is the birth right of every citizen to have a shelter with
basic amenities to live on. It is very unfortunate to state that while birds,
animals and other species have their own shelters, the six sensed human
beings are not fully provided with shelters. Even though the Government is
taking serious efforts in providing 100% shelter through various policies like
PPP (Private Public Partnership), to safeguard the interest of the society, it
is the responsibility of every Civil Engineer to contribute their ideas in
providing a comfortable and affordable shelter to all. Taking all these into
consideration the theme for World Habitat Day 2016 has been selected as
“Housing at the Centre”.
In this connection , the Tamilnadu State Centre of the Institution of Engineers
(India) observed the World Habitat Day on Wednesday the 5th October 2016
at the IE(I) Auditorium, Chennai. Er P R Seshadri FIE, Past Chairman, IE(I),
TNSC welcomed the gathering and introduced the Chief Guest Er M Kumar,
Chief Engineer, Tamilnadu Police Housing Corporation Ltd., Chennai.
In his speech, Tamil Nadu Police Housing Corporation has implemented some
important techniques in giving comfortable and cost effective housing to the
personnel of Uniformed Services Department. Originally the Policemen were
provided with line huts, having single multipurpose room, front and rear
verandah, and very basic amenities with tiled roof. After formulation of Tamil
Nadu Police Housing Corporation, various improvements were made in the
housing for personnel of Uniformed Services Department. The residential
quarters now being constructed have two bedrooms with common and
attached toilets, drawing cum dining room, kitchen and work area and
balconies. Modern and updated materials are being used for flooring,
plumbing, sanitation, electrical works, wood works, painting, etc.
Tamil Nadu Police Housing has also ventured in converting the waste into
usable materials. In the universe no material is considered as a waste, since
a waste is a raw material for a new material. The following are the efforts
taken by Tamil Nadu Police Housing in converting the waste into usable
material.
• The paver blocks and concrete tiles are manufactured from copper slag,
a waste product of Sterlite Industry at Thoothukudi in the Central Prison
Palayamkottai
• Graphite bricks are manufactured from graphite, a waste product at the
Central Prison Madurai.
• Fly ash bricks are manufactured from fly ash, a waste product of Thermal
Power Station at Ennore in the Central Prison Puzhal.
For manufacturing the above products the inmates of Prison are used. These
products are also used in Tamil Nadu Police Housing schemes.
Similarly the waste water is recycled in Sewer Treatment Plant functioning
at Avadi Police Quarters campus, Tamil Nadu Police Academy, Central Prison
at Madurai. The treated water is used for cultivation and fish culturing. The
surplus treated water stacked at ponds for fish culturing is also serving as
a source for raising the ground water level. The Corporation has planned to
implement this recycling in all Central Prisons and major quarters' campus.
For providing affordable housing and to encourage fast track construction,
Tamil Nadu Police Housing Corporation has proposed to construct individual
houses with sandwich panels for walls and roofs in moffusil areas and precast
techniques for multistoried construction at urban areas.
Er P R Seshadri, FIE, Past Chairman, IE(I), TNSC presented the memento
to the Chief Guest Er M Kumar and Er D Sundarasekaran FIE, Honorary
Secretary proposed the vote of thanks.
World Habitat Day 2016 - “Housing at the Centre” – 05.10.2016
Addressing the august audience Er. P. Raveendran, said that Engineers were
the architects of any society to design machines, maintenance, emerging
infrastructure etc. Apart from all professional Engineers brought value addition
to life, he said.
After crossing Industrial revolution, the human being were living in IT
revolution encompassing the mobile revolution and communication. It was a
proud moment to say that 80% of Indian engineers were dominating the U.K
and U.S.A's IT field. In India 15lakhs of fresh engineers were coming out every
year and they should be molded to the requirements of Industries which would
lead to enormous infrastructure development.
He desired that IEI had got a role to polish the engineering knowledge of
the fresh engineering graduates through conduct of more Seminars, Symposia,
Workshops etc. at their Institution itself which would propagate the real mission
of IEI to the society at large.
Earlier Dr. G. Ranganath, Chairman and Er. K.P. Ramanathan, Immediate
Past Chairman adorned Er. P. Raveendran with a shawl and presented him a
memento and plaque as a
