IIM-RANCHI CHAPTER

Ranchi Chapter of the Indian Institute of Metals is one of the leading and active chapters having membership strength of over 300. The chapter was established on 12^th December 1973  through the efforts of a group of dedicated metallurgists working in SAIL, MECON, NIFFT and HEC at Ranchi. Ranchi – the erstwhile ‘Summer Capital’ of Bihar - has undergone sea change since then to become the capital city of the state of Jharkhand and hub of industrial activities especially for Iron & Steel. Ranchi Chapter today continues to flourish through the support and patronage of various industries and organizations in and around Ranchi viz. SAIL/CET, SAIL/RDCIS, MECON, HEC Ltd, NIFFT etc.
 

The activities of the chapter include Organizing Technical talks by invited Speakers, organizing National/International Seminars/Conferences, giving Awards of Excellence to young working Scientists/Engineers, felicitating senior Metallurgists/Engineers for their outstanding contributions to the cause of the Chapter, organizing visits for the members to neighboring industries and organizing Ranchi level Inter-School Metals & Materials Quiz for selecting the team for sponsoring to “Prof Brahm Prakash Memorial Metals & Materials Quiz” hosted by IIM Kalpakkam Chapter.

In addition, from time to time, members of the Chapter have creditably shouldered various responsibilities entrusted to them during NMD's/ATM's at other chapter locations in India.
