PART B - ORGANIZATIONAL ACTIVITIES

B.1Membership Development Programs

(Effort in Membership Development)

The Section Job Fair went into its third year since it was launched in 2008 and continues to be an attraction and value add to student members, especially from non-city colleges which do not attract large corporates. This year the Job Fair was held at the same venue, Sardar Patel College in Andheri, Mumbai. The membership development element comprises the restriction on entry only to members of IEEE. In this way new members are enrolled on the spot. There were over 70 applicants 5 companies present: TCS, Hinditron, Allied Digital, Acevin and Alphion. It is now planned to extend this to other locations across the Section.

The figures for the consolidated section in 2009 vis--vis those for Bombay Section alone in 2010 show a healthy upward trend. (The Pune membership in 2010 is only indicative of the change in overall membership).

The focus on providing qualitative benefits to members with emphasis on technical events has helped in a better retention of members at higher grades. There is still some more work to be done to further improve the high-grade membership mix.

The new reduced dues membership scheme for India and other countries has evoked a good response and we hope to further increase numbers.

Affinity Group Activities of Graduates Of Last Decade (GOLD), Women In Engineering (WIE) and Life Members (LM)

The GOLD and LM affinity group conducted periodic professional talks for members, which were well attended.

The WIE Group however has been active conducting a number of talks during the year across a wide range of areas

The L-31 reporting details much of their activity.

B.2Professional and Continuing Education Activities

(Continuing Educational activities including conferences, technical event, training courses should be summarized and reported)

Bombay Section has a depth of technical resources and was able to conduct a number of technical and professional offerings for members. These are detailed on the Section website.

It is to their credit that most of these branches have sustained their membership and have been active for 5 years and more.

Several Student Branches were active through the year, with the holding of technical events. To foster student participation, Student Counselor meets were organized by our Student Activities Chair in Bombay and other centres. The Section has a liberal grants program to support their activities. This is dependent on their membership strength and there is a cap on the number of grants per year.

Recruitment of student members

Students hold the future promise of the Section and presently comprise the vast majority of membership. Considerable spontaneous interest in IEEE membership is found, especially among the newer branches and several of the more mature groups in terms of longevity.

The new facility for students to pay in Indian currency has brought about a much welcome change and will certainly help in sustaining membership among the student community.

PART C GOALS AND PLANS

C.1Goals

Bombay Section seeks to make itself more relevant to Industry and corporates as well as provide value addition to its members. There is much to be gained from close interaction with the engineering and IT industries and academia. Some enlightened corporates and government bodies are known to encourage professional affiliation.

Similarly, the Section has to offer more to Student members in terms of career planning, concrete avenues for employment as well as equipping them with complementary skills such as the soft skills of facility with written and spoken communication, leadership, resume writing, mastering job interviews and the like. For some of the colleges in the rural areas, technical inputs would also be in order, especially when made relevant to the world of work.

The Section has put in place a plan to further increase its technical relevance to the engineering community through seminars, workshops and conferences. This will increase value add to members and foster enhanced networking.

C.2Implementation Plans

Corporates are being sounded about IEEE as a recruitment source of choice. There are plans to build a career database, and establish a screening mechanism for certifying students meeting a minimum grade.

With industry as well, the Executive Committee is taking steps to monitor to ascertain details of which organizations are favorable to supporting staff taking up professional membership.

PART D - OTHERS

D.1Relationship with National Societies

The IEEE India Council at the National Level has a memorandum of understanding with the Institution of Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering and several members of Bombay Section share both affiliations.

May 17, 2010

Celebration of 42nd World Telecommunication and Information Society Day

Invited Talks on ITU theme Better city, better Life with ICTs

Chief Guest and Speaker: Shri V K Mahendra, PGM BSNL, Pune Telecom

Venue: Firodia Hall, Institution of Engineers (I), Shivajinagar, Pune

Jointly with IETE Pune Centre, IEEE ComSoc Bombay

IEEE also has a representation on the Engineering Council of India (ECI) which is following up on issues of equivalence of certification and the Washington Accord as well as being a lobbying body with Government.

With the success of the India Initiative program, Bombay Section expects more individuals to become high-grade members and contribute towards forging stronger alliances between professional associations such as the Institute of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineers (IETE), the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), Computer Society of India (CSI), National Association of Software and Service Companies (NASSCOM), and Indian Electrical and Electronics Manufacturers Association (IEEMA).

D.2Special Events

Mr. Raju Hira, Chair attended R10 meetings at Cebu, Philippines on 27-28 February 2010.

Shortly after INDICON 2009 at Gandhinagar, Mr. Raju Hira, Chair had a meeting with Dr. Moshe Kam, 2010 President-elect at Hyderabad, alongside Hyderabad Sections celebration of IEEEs 125th anniversary, on 3rd January 2010.

Vice Chair, Dr. M. V. Pitke represented the section at the inauguration of the IEEE India Office at Bangalore by Pedro Ray, the IEEE President, on 29th October 2010.

The visit of Dr. Sorel Reisman, IEEE Computer Society President-elect, on 26th November 2010 to Bombay Section, accompanied by Dr. Durgesh Mishra, Chair of Computer Society Chapter, Bombay Section. Dr Reisman interacted with the Execom Members who were keen to know of developments and plans of the Computer Society.

The ICETET-10 held in Goa 19-21 November 2010 by the Principal and staff of GH Raisoni College Nagpur was technically a great success and an instance of competence in hosting large conference offsite. Bombay Section was closely involved as Technical cosponsor.

D.3Concern areas and suggestions

There is a need to extend the relevance of IEEE across the industrial and technical domain in India, beyond the academic and student base where IEEE has gained substantial strength.

IEEE publications need to be priced to suit the economic reach of members and target audience within the Section geography, for instance use of purchasing power parity (PPP) pricing will make IEEE journals available to a wider segment of population and enhance awareness of IEEE.

We believe that IEEE would benefit from outsourcing of some of its production and processes. The inauguration of the office in Bangalore may be the occasion for such activity which will bring even more benefits to members.

A great step forward has been achieved with the electronic membership and reduced dues for members from developing countries on the lines of ACM. Similarly the Students will greatly benefit from the facility to remit annual fees through an Indian intermediary.

ALL INDIA STUDENT CONGRESS 2010 REPORT

IEEE is the worlds largest professional association dedicated to advancing technological

innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity. IEEE and its members inspire a global

community through IEEE's highly cited publications, conferences, technology standards, and

professional and educational activities.

The IEEE student members are the leaders of tomorrow. As student members are associated

to a particular student branch, they are able to access the worlds most comprehensive source

of electrical, electronic and computer engineering publications. Student members also benefit

by networking with the members and the industry leaders, gaining leadership experience and

developing interpersonal skills by getting involved in the local and section activities. In order

to consummate the IEEEs goals, it is a necessity for the sections to share the ideas and best

practices among themselves thus improving the functioning of their respective student

branches.
