Dr. K. N. Katju, the Governor of West Bengal : “The potter must make the best use of the clay which may be available on the spot and so, as engineers, you have to rebuild this India with its teeming millions steeped in poverty and that of its resources at present undeveloped.

Transference of populations from agricultural persuits is another solution.â ( Annual Convention â 1955).
