MESSAGE FROM SECRETARY

Best wishes to all for a healthy and prosperous new year 2022!! Profound thanks are to all those who have shown their faith in me and entrusted me with this responsibility. I will surely try to the best of my ability and live up to their expectations. As Secretary, IGS Pune Chapter along with combined efforts of my team members, encouragement and guidance from our senior mentors, we promise to achieve new heights for our Pune Chapter. Pune being the fulcrum of educational and industrial development, there is plenty of scope to have interactions of industry professionals with the budding engineers through student chapters to apprise them with the industrial know how so as to equip them for their professional careers. Though there are considerable number of women engineers in the field today, still they are under-represented in the academic and professional fronts. At IGS, we aim to encourage more and more girl students to choose engineering as their career choice and have many interactions with the successful women engineers to motivate them through women engineers cell. A plethora of competitions, events for all stake holders are proposed by IGS Pune chapter to increase participation through social media coverage and digital platforms. Suggestions from all corners would be well received and appreciated, as we believe in scaling new heights in popularising geotechnical community, no matter how tough the challenges are!!
