Materials Research Society of India Holds Second Annual General Meeting The New Delhi Local Chapter of MRS-I hosted the Second Annual General Meeting of the Materials Research Society of India at the National Physical Laboratory, New Delhi, February 9-10,1991. The meeting was attended by 275 participants from more than 60 organizations. Prof. E.C. Subbarao of Tata Research, Design and Development Centre, Pune, delivered the honor lecture, "A Second Ceramic Age - A New Materials Fronrier." In an inaugural address, Prof. C.N.R. Rao, président of MRS-I, traced the history of the Society since its inception in 1989, noting the tremendous response of the community of materials scientists in India to the Society. He announced that MRS-I had become one of the Founding Adhering Bodies of the International Union of Materials Research Societies. He emphasized, though, that Indian materials scientists should hâve their roots in India and solve critical materials and processing needs for India. Rao suggested that several one-day workshops/meetings on spécifie topics in materials science could be arranged by the régional chapter chairs and subject group chairs. Sixteen of the seventeen MRS-I Medal récipients for the year also delivered lectures. Two poster sessions, attracting lively participation, displayed 91 poster papers covering superconductors, electronic materials, building materials, metals and alloys, ceramics, polymers and composites. Four posters were selected for best poster prizes.
