Bokaro: The Institution of Engineers India (IEI) Bokaro Local Center, in collaboration with SAIL-Bokaro Steel Plant, has launched a dynamic initiative aimed at fostering eco-conscious industrial practices.
A prominent two-day All India Seminar on the theme “Sustainable and Green Technologies for Industries” is scheduled to take place from August 26 to 27, 2023. This event stands as a significant platform, uniting professionals, experts, and academicians in a collective endeavor to explore and integrate eco-friendly systems within the industrial landscape. 
The inaugural session of the seminar, held on Saturday, commenced with the ceremonial lighting of the lamp. Distinguished dignitaries, including Birendra Kumar Tiwari, Executive Director (Works) of Bokaro Steel Plant, as the chief guest, and Aninda Das, CEO of BPSCL, as the guest of honor, graced the Vishweshwaraiah Hall at Bokaro Center.
