Imphal, February 27 2023:
A two-day consultative & deliberative interaction meet on 'Promotion of Civil Engineering Technological Advances & Pragmatic Applications in Manipur', organised jointly by Department of Civil Engineering, NIT Manipur and Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE/India) began from Monday at the conference hall of NIT Manipur, here.
The inaugural function was attended by ICE chairman Dr SI Swamy as chief guest and NIT Manipur director Prof Sutradhar as guest of honour.
Speaking in this regard, NIT Department of Civil Engineering associate professor and head Dr Ngangbam Romenji pointed out that ICE is an institution exclusively for civil engineers.
It not only provides academic degrees but also fill up the gap between academic research and contractors or implementing agencies.
As NIT is an academic institute, there are various research findings, he continued.
Stating that NIT is not directly linked with the industry, he maintained that ICE will recommend use of new technology on the basis of information shared by participants of the interactive meet.
Dr Romenji also pointed out it would be in vain if the findings are only in paper and further appealed to all concerned for joining hands so as to translate into action the recommendations adopted or proposed.
