From the Chairman’s Desk....My Dear Fellow Engineers,
My heartfelt greetings to all of you.
It gives me very great pleasure to meet you all once again through this communiqué.
The 32nd National Convention of Marine Engineers and National Seminar on “Indian
Maritime Sector-an Ocean of Opportunities” is all set to spread its wings wide open, welcoming
all the Engineers of various disciplines around the country and the globe to its hub during 16-18 August 2018
at Hotel Savera, Chennai. I request all the members to actively participate in the grand event and make the
convention in a grand manner.
I once again request my team members to focus on approaching the Engineering Colleges and Polytechnic Colleges
and urge the CEOs of the colleges to establish Students' Chapter at their colleges. Continuous follow-up will
yield good results in this regard.
I request my member friends to bring in more and more new members into the fold of IEI with a slogan ‘EVERY
MEMBER INDUCT A NEW MEMBER’ to double the strength. Let us all unite to boost the membership strength
of IEI.
Wishing you all an advance Happy Independence Day.

overrun and quality problems in Construction Projects.
Inefficient way of managing the project management
processes or product processes cause such chaos and
crisis in construction projects.
Our study shows that, around 50% daily activities in
construction projects are unplanned in nature. Non value
adding situations like waiting for information, delay in
decisions, rework due to error or quality issues, changes
in priority of work, non availability of resources etc
causing uncertainty in projects. The probability of a work
to happen without any reminder in construction projects
are only 25% and project situation demands continuous
follow ups, frequent escalations and close monitoring to
complete works. In another words 75-80% of activities
that are part of project management processes are non-
value adding and 'fire fighting' to achieve projects
objectives.
The collaborative planning approach is the consolidation
of simple best practices from Lean Construction and
Project Management concepts implemented in
systematic and structured way. It provides a practical
framework to plan, monitor and control construction
projects. The 4 level planning approach ensures value
creation at every stage by involving appropriate
stakeholders at right time and better manage the 'known

A technical guest lecture meeting was held on 25th July 2018 at
6.00 pm in IE(I), Tamilnadu State Centre auditorium. The topic
of the day was “Legal awareness for Engineers”. Er P R Seshadri
FIE, Past Chairman, IE(I) TNSC welcomed the gathering and
introduced the Chief Guest Er D Kumar, FIE Committee
Member, Mechanical Engineering Division, IE(I) TNSC.
Er D Kumar delivered the lecture on the above topic with power
point presentation. In his speech, the original constitution of India
is hand-written with beautiful calligraphy by Prem Behari Narain
Raizada and each page beautified and decorated by artists from
Shantiniketan including Beohar Rammanohar Sinha and Nandalal
Bose.feb 10, 2014. It is signed by the framers of the constitution,
most of whom are regarded as the founders of the republic of
India. The original of the book is kept in a special helium-filled
case in the library of the parliament of India.
Constitution of India is the supreme law of the land and termed
as fundamental law of the country which reflects people faith and
aspirations. Constitution lays down the national goals of India
democracy, socialism, secularism and national integration. The
rulers in ancient India were bound by dharma, no one was above
dharma. Indian constitution is the most lengthy and detailed
constitutional document in the world. The main factors for the
bulkiest were incorporation of then accumulated experience of
different constitutions and inclusion of detailed administrative
provisions.
Indian constitution was not written by any single person.
B.N. Rau who became first Indian judge in international court of
justice, 1950-54 was appointed as the constitutional adviser to the
constituent assembly in formulating the Indian constitution in

1946. He was responsible for the general structure of its
democratic framework of the constitution. and prepared its initial
draft in February 1948. (Published)
The constituent assembly set up 13 committee (such committees
included a committee on fundamental rights, the union powers
committee and union constitution committee) for framing the
constitution, on the basis of the reports of these committee a draft
of the constitution was prepared and submitted on 29th august
1947 by a seven-member drafting committee under the
chairmanship of Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar, assisted by a
constitutional advisor B.N. Rau and published in February 1948.
Indian constitution is a balanced constitution. The framers of
the constitution desired to secure balance and moderation in
incorporating various provisions in our constitution. As far as the
amendment of the constitution is concerned, a balance is struck
in making the constitution partly rigid and partly flexible. A
flexible constitution is one, which can be easily amended like
ordinary law of the land. On the contrary, a rigid constitution is
one whose amendment is very difficult and where there is a
distinction between the amendment of constitutional law and
ordinary law. Both the types of constitutions had their merits and
demerits. There should be certain flexibility. If you make
anything rigid and permanent, you stop the nation's growth, the
growth of a living vital organic people.
The constitution originally contain preamble, 395 articles. Now
consists of 447 articles divided in to twenty six parts and twelve
schedules. The preamble of the Indian constitution reads:- ‘we
the people of India, having solemnly resolved to constitute India
into a Sovereign Socialist Secular Democratic Republic and to
secure to all its citizens’: The preamble has been amended by the
42nd amendment act 1976, which inserted the word, Socialist and
Integrity. The fundamental rights seek to protect the individual
from state encroachment. Directive principles are aimed at the
promotion of the general welfare of the society. Fundamental
rights are enforceable through courts. Directive principles are
inferior to fundamental rights, because in case of conflict between
the two the later must get preference.
Er P R Seshadri, Past Chairman, IE(I), TNSC presented the
memento to the Chief Guest Er D Kumar. Er R Ramdoss, FIE,
Honorary Secretary, IE(I),TNSC proposed the vote of thanks.

daily failures and better prepare the future works. This

terms of monthly target achievement) within 2-3 months
time.
