A Glimpse of India

Dr Setty reports from ISHM‐India, who had their first committee meeting on the 4th October 1985, that the Society is now off the ground and that the Symposium on Hybrid Microelectronics held on February 5th attracted considerable interest, some 150 persons attending. Dr Sonde was the organising committee Chairman and was fortunate in being able to persuade the Department of Electrical Communication Engineering of the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore, which has set up its thin and thick film hybrid department, to host this important event. Papers were given by visiting speakers from the US, UK and West Germany as well as from India itself. Among the presentations given were papers introducing some of the country's facilities from which it can be seen that microelectronics has an important future here.
