welding as a career, the Chennai Branch of the Indian Institute ofWelding is organizing the National Weld Meet at the Mohamed Sathak Engineering
College, Kilakarai.
The
highlight of NWM 2014 is the focus on skill development in welding by
dedicating an exclusive parallel session on both the days, to discuss on recent
initiatives of the Government of India in Skill development and the
opportunities that are available for welders to improve their skills. Traininginstitutes and assessing bodies are also expected to participate in the skill
development initiatives of the Government. In the sessions on welding science,
emphasis will be on current & future research topics in the area of welding
which would be of immense use for research scholars and faculties in Academic
and Research Institutes. Session on welding technologies will focus on welding
automation, processes, equipments, fabrication, inspection etc. which are relevant
to industries. By organizing NWM 2014 at Kilakarai, the Indian Institute of

Mohamed Sathak Trust - The Host
The Mohamed Sathak Trust, which is a charitable and
educational organization, was established on 26 October 1973 at Madras, by the
Philanthropic Mohamed Sathak Family of Kilakarai, Ramnad District, Tamil Nadu,
with the sole purpose of helping deprived people from rural and financially
challenged background to quality education. From the day the first self-financing
engineering college in the state was established by the Trust in 1984 at
Kilakarai, the Trust has been contributing to provide quality education with
academic excellence to meet the requirements of industries at national and
international levels.
The Trust administers 20 schools and colleges in
Kilakarai, Ramnad and Chennai. The whole
gamut of higher education from arts and science to physiotherapy and nursing to
engineering to medical sciences to IAS training is covered under the Trusts’
operation. In the Trust, we believe that with malice toward none, with charity
for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, we strive
on to finish the work we are in, to build up our nation’s needs.
Mohamed Sathak Engineering College (MSEC) was the first ever self-financing Engineering Collegeestablished in Tamil Nadu in the year 1984. Mohamed Sathak Engineering College
has dedicated itself to impart quality education and develop the students to be
responsible engineers and leaders of our nation. The college offers 10
undergraduate and seven post graduate courses in engineering and architecture.
Mohamed Sathak Polytechnic College, Kilakarai is a
Government Aided and AICTE approved Co-educational institute sponsored by Mohamed

National Weld Meet 2014
The structured liberalisation of our economy, which has
paved the way for globalisation of our industry, has had an enormous impact on
core sectors such as power, steel, oil, gas, petro-chemical and transportation.
It is but natural that globalization impacts small and medium scale industries,
which support the core sectors. Indian industry currently operates on benchmarks
and quality levels fixed by a global perspective. There is therefore an
imperative need for the manufacturers to improve quality by effecting
improvements in design, materials and manufacturing processes at reduced cost.
Since welding is the most widely used engineering manufacturing process, the
welding industry is also poised for a vibrant change due to the need to
introduce high productivity welding processes, cost effective designs and
reliable quality control methods. Also, there is an enormous demand for certifiedwelding personnel both at the welders’ and engineers’ levels to meet the
primary manpower needs of the industry. In addition, there is the need for
continual training and knowledge up gradation at all levels.
Recognising the wide ranging fabrication activities inTuticorin, Tirunelveli, Madurai, Trichy and Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu regions, and
to create awareness and promote welding as a career, the Chennai Branch of the
Indian Institute of Welding is organizing the National Weld Meet at the Mohamed
Sathak Engineering College, Kilakarai, which is about 60 kms from the holy town
of Rameswaram. NWM 2014 has ‘Advances in the Science, Technology and SkillDevelopment in Welding’ as its theme and hopes to promote awareness in welding
in this region. The highlight of NWM 2014 is the focus on skill development in
welding by dedicating an exclusive parallel session on both the days, to
discuss on recent initiatives of the Government of India in Skill development
and the opportunities that are available for welders to improve their skills.
