“The state of higher engineering education in India is currently dismal. India has a long
way to go before it can be called an advanced nation in terms of achieving the high
standards of excellence in postgraduate education and research in engineering. We need
to take some hard decisions immediately as the way forward to realize our potential as a
proud nation capable of leading the world in certain frontier areas of research and
innovation”, concluded Professor E C Subbarao at the end of his though-provoking
lecture on the pathetic state of higher engineering education and the way forward.
Professor Subbarao delivered the seventh Dr. Dara P Antia Memorial Lecture in the

Dara P Antia Memorial Lecture in Pune 23/3/2011
Padmavibhushan Professor P Rama Rao, delivered the prestigious Dr. Dara P Antia
Memorial Lecture in Pune
“India has to pay serious and urgent attention to the exploration, mining, mineral processing,
extraction and scaling up production of critical metals and materials such as energy materials and
rare-earths. IT industry has been swallowing most of the engineering graduates in India for the
Page 28 of 40Indian Institute of Metals Pune chapter
www.iimpc.com
past few years. And now, nano science research is upstaging R&D in mining, geology and
engineering materials, which is an unfortunate development. Eco-informed materials
development is the key to prosperity of a nation and there are plenty of exciting opportunities for
the young professionals to make a mark in both unexplored fields in basic materials research as
well as in meeting engineering challenges in materials development in order to satisfy the ever
increasing needs of the society in a cost effective and sustainable manner” – this was the inspiring
message of Professor P Rama Rao’s Dara Antia Memorial Lecture delivered in the jam packed
auditorium of the College of Engineering, Pune on March 23rd, 2011.
Professor Rama Rao, a distinguished metallurgist and an accomplished professional leader in
education and research, selected the theme – “Glimpses of Materials History” for his thought-
provoking lecture organized by the Indian Institute of Metals, Pune Chapter and Dr. Dara Antia
Memorial Lecture Committee. Professor Rama Rao began his lecture with a brief description of
several remarkably innovative processes and products developed by our ancestors in India
namely, the bronze dancing girl of the Indus valley civilization (goes back to 2500 BC),
discovery of zinc smelting in Zawar, Rajasthan which was at least 1800 years ahead of the rest of
the world, wootz steel (from which Damascus swords were made), which was produced in India
in thousands of tons and exported as a precious and a rare commodity, the non-corroding Delhi
iron pillar, Nataraja statues made of panchdhatu (Cu, Zn, Sn, Au, Ag) by the lost wax process,
bidriware (Cu-Zn alloy with silver inlays) and Aranmula metal mirror from Kerala which was the
first intermetallic (Cu-30% Sn bronze) produced commercially by extremely slow cooling and
precipitation – all these examples illustrating the engineering ingenuity and the creativity of
people at that point in time. In his inspiring lecture, Professor Rama Rao covered a host of topics
– about enhancing capabilities of engineering materials (for example, stiffening polymers,
strengthening metals and toughening ceramics), about the materials as high technology enablers
(examples include materials for the aviation turbine blades), unexplored fields in basic materials
research (phase stability and equilibria, temperature-pressure environment for materials synthesis,
potential at extremities of composition, chemical state, pressure, temperature and complex stress-
strains and length scales) and urgent needs in the development of critical materials needed for
sustainable growth of our country. He concluded his lecture with an appeal to the young students
present in the auditorium to take up this exciting field of materials science and engineering which
offers great opportunities for creative minds.
Earlier Dr Baba Kalyani, the Chairman of the Kalyani Group of Companies and Bharat Forge,
and the Chairman of the Dr Dara Antia Memorial Lecture Committee in his address, paid rich
tributes to Dr Dara Antia as well as to the College of Engineering, Pune as an institution which
has produced several outstanding professional leaders for the country and continues to attract the
best students and continues to nurture the future leaders for India. Dr. Kalyani also highlighted
the need to design and develop new processes and products - materials for our super critical and
ultra supercritical boilers as an illustration of some of the challenges the metals industry is facing
today. Dr Baba Kalyani while introducing the distinguished speaker remarked that Professor
Rama Rao has very appropriately selected a topic related to Materials History, indeed a fine
tribute to the legendary Dr Dara Antia who worked all his life for the advancement of education,
research and industrial growth of metals in India.

Earlier in the day, Professor Rama Rao had visited Mrs Jeroo Antia at her residence and
presented a bouquet to her on this occasion. Professor Anil Sahasrabudhe, Director, College of
Engineering, Pune (COEP), on behalf of COEP and Professor N B Dhokey, Chairman, IIM, Pune
Chapter on behalf of IIM welcomed everyone present. Dr. Pradip, Head Process Engineering
Innovation Lab of Tata Research Development and Design Centre (TRDDC – TCS) and
Secretary, Dr Dara Antia Memorial lecture Committee highlighted some of the outstanding
contributions and the multi-faceted personality of Dr Dara Antia who was an institution builder
and mentor of high calibre. We are indeed fortunate that Dr. Dara Antia chose metallurgy as a
profession, he remarked in his tribute to Dr Antia on this occasion. Dr Pradip also proposed a
vote of thanks. A dedicated team of volunteers drawn from Department of Metallurgical
Engineering, College of Engineering, Pune and TRDDC- TCS helped organize this memorable
event. Timely help and support from all the members of Dr Antia Memorial Lecture Committee
as well as of the IIM, Pune Chapter Executive Council are gratefully acknowledged.

In his inaugural address, Dr. Baba Kalyani mentioned about our glorious past when
Indian sub-continent was considered to be a world leader in the production and trade of
minerals and metals. He was happy to note that there is a steady resurgence in the Steel
sector during the last decade. He mentioned that Indian steel production is going to reach
over 240 million tons, nearly four times the current capacity within the next decade and
sustained innovation is the key to remain globally competitive. He emphasized the need
for high quality steels required for our strategic sectors like nuclear, defense and space
applications and was happy to note that challenges and opportunities associated with the
development of steels tailor-made for these sectors will be discussed during this
workshop. He also emphasized the urgent need to address the issue of manpower
shortage in this rapidly growing sector. Dr. Sahab Prasad, Secretary, IIM Pune Chapter,
proposed a vote of thanks at the end of the inaugural function.

Dr. JJ Irani, Director, Tata Sons delivered the prestigious Dr. Dara P Antia
Memorial Lecture in Pune 11/1/2010
Corporate governance, innovation and climate change are three most important issues
which will determine the course of corporate world in the coming decades. “The
companies of TOMORROW” (listed or unlisted) will be one where Shareholders will
want to invest, the Employees will want to join, the Customers will want to buy its
products and the Community will welcome it into its midst and we will need many more
Dr. Dara Antias to manage such good Corporate Enterprises”, thus concluded Dr. Irani
while delivering the fifth Dr. Dara P Antia Memorial lecture on Janaury 11th , 2010 to a
packed audience at the Seminar Hall in Mahratta Chamber of Commerce, Industries and
Agriculture (MCCIA) in Pune. He further elaborated on the theme – “PROFIT will
remain the basis of success in our Enterprises but how that profit is put to use will
differentiate the EXCELLENT Corporation from one that is merely GOOD. Good
GOVERNANCE is fundamental to Corporate Sustainability and it cannot be mandated”
was the message of Dr. Irani’s lecture.
