Indian Geotechnical Society

The Indian National Society of Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering was established in the year 1948 and was affiliated to the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering. In December 1970, the name “Indian Geotechnical Society” was adopted. In January 1994 it hosted 13th International Conference on Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering (ICSMGE).

Annual Conference of the Society is an eagerly awaited event looked forward by our members and the geotechnical community as a whole. The regular Conferences popularly known as Indian Geotechnical Conferences (IGCs) started in the year 1983. The Society hosted Asian Regional Conference three times during 1965, 1975 and 2007 which is a unique record.
