CHAIRMAN'S COLUMN
Dear IEEE
Bangalore Section Fellow Members,
Greetings
to every one for being a member of IEEE and that too of Bangalore Section, the
most vibrant and active Section in India. It is most appropriate for us to be
proud of our achievements of the past, particularly the year 2003 when we
successfully organized TENCON-2003. In the month of April, I participated in
R10 AGM and made a presentation about TENCON-2003. The achievements of this
successful event were highly appreciated by every one and in fact some of the
participants had many queries about the event and even took the copy of the
presentation material. In Region10 apparently along with Bangalore even the
IEEE Bangalore Section also seems to be popular. It was a pleasant surprise for
me when Bangalore GOLD Affinity Group was declared the best group in R10. On
behalf of the group, I received the Best GOLD Affinity Group Award. The Gold
Group members deserve Applauds and Congratulations from all of us.
In
the past all societies and student branches worked very well. For this year we
propose to organize an International Symposium On Microwave
Electronics-christened as ISM-2004 from 1st-3rd September 2004, under the
General Chairmanship of Prof. Selvarajan. M/s.COPEX will be organizing an
International Microwave Electronics Exhibition on this occasion. It is proposed
that in future both the symposium and the exhibitions will be held henceforth
every alternate year. Besides this the Section will hold our Annual Symposium
this time on Power Electronics. We are also going to have Prof. Kalyan Sen under
DLT-Programme.
This
year besides supporting and rejuvenating the existing student branches and
society chapters, we are putting efforts to open new society chapters and
student branches. We will also arrange technical lectures, tutorials,
colloquiums and pursue our efforts to have good interaction with academic
institutes, industries, sister professional societies, IEEE HQ, Region10
Sections and of course above all our members. We will help members to apply for
up-gradation to SM & Fellow grades.
On
behalf of the Section Executive Committee I invite all the members to
participate whole-heartedly in our section’s activities.
With Best Wishes,
Dr. S. PAL
Chairman, IEEE Bangalore Section
