Welcome to Indian Institute of Metals!
MESSAGE FROM Dr. SRIKUMAR BANERJEE
The Indian Institute of Metals (IIM) represents professional Metallurgists and Metallurgical Engineers in India and has
been in existence for nearly 60 glorious years. The IIM owes its foundation to the pioneering efforts of Dr. D. P Antia,
who first mooted the formation of this institute as early as 1945 at the panel discussions of the Metal Industries Panel formed by Sir Ardeshi Dalal. At that time, Dr. Antia was the Secretary of this Panel. Eventually, the IIM came into being on 24th February 1946. Even before this event another professional body was started at Bombay. The idea of forming the Bombay Metallurgical Society (BMS) was ushered in at the informal gatherings that used to be held at the residence of Prof. N. P. Gandhi. The success of these meetings was such that soon large number of people from metallurgical industries in and around Bombay started attending them. Thus, in the year 1945, a formal society named "Bombay Metallurgical Society" (BMS) was established under the chairmanship of Prof. Gandhi. .........
