CHAIRMAN'S COLUMN

Dear IEEE Bangalore Section Members,

I am happy to inform you that like last year, lots of activities are planned and being executed this year. The new Executive Committee formally took over in the month of March. The Slate Nomination Committee kept almost the entire out going Executive committee in the new Executive committee. I am thankful to them for this gesture.

The year began with IEEE president Mr. Cleon Anderson's visit to Bangalore. A meeting with Executive committee, students and industry professionals was arranged. His visit to INFOSYS, IISc, ISRO/MCF at Hassan and Belur temple, to give him glimpses of modern and ancient India, was arranged. It was a great success. He was highly impressed. He had an useful interactive session with students and the Executive committee members.

I attended the R-10 Annual General Meeting in April. Lots of new activities under various headings will be encouraged by R-10 office. We are Happy to inform you that Prof.Khincha & Prof.S.V.Sankaran are in the R-10 Executive committee.

As for as the Section is concerned we are planning lectures, tutorials, and giving a further push to student activities. Formation of new Student Branches and Chapters will be our priority. We are also contemplating to increase section membership. Members are invited to apply for higher-grade membership. Section Executive committee will offer all the necessary help in this regard.

I invite all the Section members to get more & more involved in Section activities.

With Best Wishes,

Dr. S. PAL, FIEEE

Chairman, IEEE Bangalore Section
