Dear Members and Friends,
With April, the new financial year in India, has begun. Strategies have been planned and implementation started so that the targets set for the current fiscal can be met. It was also the month to review the previous year’s performance and also for introspection regarding the results. The economy of the country has almost recovered from the adverse effect caused by the pandemic for almost two and a half years and is now on a fast growth trajectory. I trust that the consulting engineering fraternity involved are also making their due contribution in the development works. Apart from being a part of the country’s growth story, that would help in improving their inventory and balance sheets.
In addition to the domestic market’s growth, India has also achieved a record export of over US$700 million during the 2022-23 fiscal. The Hon’ble Minister of Commerce, Shri Piyush Goel invited representatives of all stakeholders involved in the services sector to congratulate them for their remarkable achievements. There are, however concerns about engineering consultancy, as it does not have a sizeable share in the export of services. The Hon’ble Minister expressed his desire to help engineering consultancy in whatever way it would be possible so that this sector is able to work on overseas projects, preferably from India, and utilise its trained manpower and cost advantages.
To push for that CEAI will organise a workshop in association with the Services Export Promotion Council (SEPC). I request all who are providing engineering consultancy overseas as well as those who are interested in doing so, to join and share experiences and how to increase participation of engineering consultancy in other countries.
Warm regards,

YEARS OF SERVICE
Dear Friends,
At the outset I would like to wish that all of you and your family stay safe and healthy during this onslaught of monsoon menaces in most parts of our country on top of the already stressed covid situations. It is strongly perceived and felt that the intensity of rainfall is increasing at a faster pace than the resilience, with number of interventions, in the built environment. Such are the effects of Global Climate Change being observed all around the world from Europe to USA and China to India. Therefore, we need to further accelerate our STEM efforts for sustainable and affordable solutions in tackling such impacts.
July has been a very busy month with two very thought provoking and important webinars delivered by Western Regional Centre of CEAI and Future Leaders Forum of CEAI. Besides these, CEAI also jointly hosted a day long technology Workshop on “BIM” for Highways & Roads, Railways, Energy and Water and Wastewater with Capricot Technology and AUTODESK.
…CEAI also participated in large number during the FIDIC ASPAC conference held of 30th July 2021. Amongst them were, Mr. Sudhir Dhawan, President -Elect FIDIC-ASPAC, Dr. Ajay Pradhan, President-CEAI, Dr S Chatterjee, Mr. Umesh Srivastava and Ms. Sayona Phillip, where Mr. Amitabha Ghoshal, Past President-CEAI delivered an impactful presentation on the new normal during COVID for Consulting Engineers.
Looking forward to your support and more active contributions.
Warm regards,
Dr. Ajay Pradhan
