Dear Shri Suraj Singh,

Yes, it has been a herculean task. But now we have achieved it. IEI takes its rightful place in international scene of engineers. Indian engineers will now have opportunity to prove them selves equal under their own country banner.

By P Eng Suraj Singh- The Institution Of Engineers (India)(IEI) Authorised By The World Body Of Professional Engineers EMF (Engineers Mobility Forum) To Certify Internationally Indian Engineers On Behalf Of Republic Of India- The Institution Of Engineers (India)(IEI) Is A Part Of International Authority
After having awaited many years & been under observations by the mentor nations on EMF, the Chartered body IEI has been successful in achieving its objective leading the Indian Professional engineers elevated to the international level. The Secretary & Director General IEI & the council IEI deserve the credits. The IEI members should be happy to learn the upgraded status of the IEI.
The Institution of Engineers (India)(IEI) obtained full membership of the Engineers Mobility Forum in its bi-annual International Engineering Meeting held on 17 Jun 09 at Kyoto, Japan. The IEI delegation in the meeting was led by the President IEI, Rear Admiral K O Thakare, Immediate Past President IEI, Shri R P Gupta and Secretary & Director General Cdr A K Poothia, IN (Retd).
The Engineers Mobility Forum agreement is an International Recognition Agreement for Professional Engineers. Engineering organisations in the member jurisdictions create the framework for the establishment of an international standard of competence for professional engineering. The International Agreements empowers each member organization to establish a section of the International Professional Engineers Register.
Each member operates a national section of the International Professional Engineer (IntPE) register. Engineers on this international register receive credit when seeking registration or license in the jurisdiction of another member. Engineers on international register are free to practice engineering in member countries and are recognized at par with local professional engineers. Presently, the members of the Engineers Mobility Forum are Australia, Canada, Chinese Taipei, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, Sri Lanka, United Kingdom and United States.
The IEI is now authorised to operate Indian Section of the International Register of Professional Engineers. Eligible Indian Professional Engineers after due process would be placed on International Register. They would be entitled to exclusively use the title IntPE (India) indicating their international status.
With IEI becoming part of the International Agreement on mobility, on one hand Indian Professional Engineers would be readily acceptable for practice in foreign countries and on other hand a system for quality certification of incoming engineers would be easily available for employers in India . Additionally, Professional Engineers certified to international standards would also command higher recognition in domestic market with local and foreign employers.
The recognition of IEI as full Member of EMF would provide level playing field, mobility and recognition to Indian engineers.
Jai Bharat Vandematram
