MRS-I Meeting Featured Talks on Building, Magnetic and Electronic, and Glass Fiber Materials The Ninth Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Materials Research Society of India (MRS-I) was jointly hosted by the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Madras and the Madras Chapter of MRS-I. The deliberations spanning over three days began with a dignified note at the Central Lecture Theatre, IIT—Madras on February 11 with the inaugural function, presided over by S.K. Joshi, President of MRS-I. R. Natarajan, Director of IIT—Madras extended a warm and hearty welcome to the august gathering of participants. P. Rama Rao, past president of MRS-I and presently chair of the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board, delivered the inaugural address. The curtain-raisers to the technical deliberations on the second day were the MRS-I-ICSC [International Conference on Superconductivity] Superconductivity and Materials Science Prize lectures delivered by the 1998 prize recipients Placid Rodriguez, director of Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR), Kalpakkam ("Contributions to Chemical Kinetics of Plastic Deformation") and R. Vijayaraghavan, SAMEER, IIT—Mumbai ("Basic Studies on the Physics of Metals"). Three out of the nine technical sessions of the meeting were devoted exclusively to the 13 MRS-I Medalists—distinguished scientists, engineers, and technologists who were recognized for their outstanding contributions in diverse fields: • K.B.R. Varma, Materials Research Centre (MRC), Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, "Tailoring of Materials for Electro-Optic and Nonlinear Optical Devices"; • Om Prakash, Benares Hindu University (BHU), Varanasi, "Exploring Novel Dielectric Characteristics of Valence Compensated Oxide Perovskites"; • Tarun Bandyopadhyay, Central Glass and Ceramic Research Institute (CGCRI), Calcutta, "Optical Fibre Technology: Trends and Options"; • Neeraj Khare, National Physical Laboratory (NPL), New Delhi, "Role of Grain Boundaries in High-Tc Superconductors and In-Doped Rare-Earth Manganese Oxides"; • B.
