Abstract

First of all I would like to thank council members of The Indian Institute of Welding for giving me the opportunity to act as Chief Editor of Indian Welding Journal from January issue.

You will agree that the economic growth of India over the period has changed her position and has involved changes in her industrial structure. These changes greatly affect the status of welding engineering and technology in the present industrial society. The Indian Institute of Welding has also decided to restructure itself to adopt to these new environments.
