IIW India Kochi

The activities of Cochin Branch is continue to be more vibrant and is drawn the attention of the industry, Educational Institutions, Welding Professionals and Students in and around Cochin and in the state of Kerala as a whole. Through organizing evening Technical Meetings, Seminars at engineering colleges and institutions, & Technical visits to the industries, the is branch is consistently working to achieve the objectives of the Institute. Recently the Branch started skill Development Initiative-SDI Program in association with Don Bosco Tech, Vaduthala to provide training in Welding Technology to youth as a part of CSR Program of Cochin Shipyard Limited. IIW got an opportunity to partake the Mega Scheme of the Government of India’s Skill Development Initiative.

The Branch also expanded its wings spreading into acting as a catalyst between Educational Institutions in developing strong interaction with the industry to improve the quality of the institution as well as promoting Industrial growth.

Theme of NWS 2018

For the last few decades, industrial growth in India has taken a fast pace of development after the globalization process. The growth in the economy of the country has attracted several players across the globe and India is poised for multifold growth in the area. Recently the Govt. of India declared the policy of “MAKE IN INDIA” with the objective of transforming India as an International Hub for manufacturing sector. This initiative requires highly skilled manpower to make Indian products globally competitive. To meet this target, SKILL INDIA campaign was launched in 2015 with an aim to train over 400 million people in different skills by 2022. As a result, there is a vivid growth expansion of market such as pharmaceuticals, bio-engineering, nuclear technology, informatics and technology oriented higher education and India is poised to become major, manufacturing center. The structural liberalization of Indian economy, which has paved the way for globalization of each industry has had its impact on core centers such as power, steam, oil, gas, petrochemicals, and transportation. Hence, there is an imperative need for the manufacturers to maximize production without compromising on quality and by lowering manufacturing time and cost. Since welding is widely used in 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 design and reliable quality control methods. Also advanced materials ranging from variation of existing metallic materials and composite to Nano materials and others, which widely differ in their physical and mechanical properties, are being introduced for industrial use for extended life of the components. Welding of these materials possess technological challenges in welding, fabrication in order to development of superior welding process and quality assurance criteria. Further, the role of information technology and the need to develop high quality products based on research - industrial coordination cannot be overlooked. Skilled development in welding is all set to get major thrust in India in the years to come, with the launch of the 'MAKE IN INDIA' initiative by the Govt. of India. The welding technology one of the major fields in the campaign for MAKE IN INDIA.

OBJECTIVE OF NATIONAL WELDING SEMINAR
