India has been gradually emerging as a manufacturing hub for a wide range of products ranging from transportation to energy sectors and from heavy engineering down to biomedical devices. The country represents a unique playing field for the application of numerous disciplines that constitute the interdisciplinary world of Structural Integrity. With current trends suggesting that India is likely over the coming years to emerge as one of the world's dominant economies, the market for Structural Integrity related applications is likewise bound to grow. Several Centres of Excellence have emerged in academia, in government research laboratories and in industry in various aspects of Structural Integrity. The time has come to create an umbrella organization to serve as a forum for interaction between these groups and as a platform to extend their expertise across industry and academia.Several Indian engineers and scientists engaged in Structural Integrity research got together on the campus of Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore on November 29, 2013 to – form the Indian Structural Integrity Society (InSIS). InSIS sees several benefits of an organized effort in Structural Integrity including (a) available data base of experts in various aspects of Structural Integrity to advise industry and government (b) facilitate the formation of national teams of experts to tackle big and complicated Structural Integrity problems (c) provide a stage for scientists and engineers to present their research and research ideas (d) to interface with standards development organizations nationally and internationally to develop standards on materials testing suited to Indian needs (e) contribute to continuing education by offering courses and helping Indian universities and colleges in developing Structural Integrity related curricula and (f) provide more opportunities for international exposure for Indian scientists and engineers by effectively interfacing with other similar societies.
