TMI MODELLED OVER CORNELL
Dr. N.P. Tolani Recieving
a Memento
at Cornell University
On 5th August '05, Dr. Nandlal .P. Tolani (Varuna awardee and founder Chairman of Tolani Shipping)
endowed $ 3 million for
the establishment of the Tolani Senior Professorship in international trade policy at
his Alma mater, the Cornell's College of
Agriculture and Life Sciences (USA).
Dr. Tolani's association with Cornell dates back to the 1940s. He received a
Master's degree in Agricultural Engineering and Agricultural Economics in
1947 and Doctorate in Agricultural Economics in 1964.
Having studied at Cornell, it had been his cherished dream to establish a
campus-based college in India. Few people know that TMI has been modelled
over Dr. Tolani's memories of Cornell. Having fulfilled his dream, Dr. Tolani felt
it appropriate to be able to institute a permanent symbol of his association
with Cornell. President Hunter R. Rawings (CALS) presented Dr. Tolani with a
bronze statue of Cornell's founder Ezra Cornell, on the occasion.
Presiding over the dedication ceremony, Susan Henry, Cornell's Ronald P
Lynch, Dean of Agriculture and Life Sciences, remarked that the
professorship would ensure that future graduates of Cornell would have the
opportunity to gain a unique perspective on international business and trade
besides recruitment of outstanding graduate fellows from India.
In the long run it would also cater to further strengthening of the rapidly emerging trade ties between India and U.S.Truly, Greatness begets Greatness; TMI's good work can be adduced to its founder.

WORKSHOP EXPANSION
An Overview of
the Workshop TMI has always endeavored to provide
the best in terms of quality and service
to its cadets; it is along these lines that
the workshop is currently through an
expansion and remodeling phase.
The New Lathe Section The numbers of Welding Machines have
been increased with over forty state of
the art ADOR welding machines being
commissioned with adequate
ventilation. On the machine front the
number of Lathes has been doubled. Two of the lathes have a 7.5 feet bed
size while the rest are of the customary 4.5 feet bed size.The number of
Bench Vices for the carpentry, fitting and plumbing section too have been
increased.New Milling & Shaping
machines (one each) have been
purchased to supplement the already
existing ones.
The practical laboratories and the drawing
halls are due to be shifted to the workshop
once the construction is over.The deadline
for the whole operation has been
tentatively put as the year end.
ELECTRICAL WORKSHOP
The New Electrical Workshop The Electrical & Electronics
Area of TMI has setup a new
Electrical Workshop, which was
inaugurated by the CEO of TMI
in the 3rd week of May. The
workshop has been setup with
the objective of providing
hands on training for repair
and maintenance of live
electrical circuits working at
440 V. The circuits installed in
the lab are exactly similar to
those found onboard ships.
Presently only the 4th year ME cadets have been introduced to the
workshop and plans are being formulated to introduce 3rd year NT cadets
and Class IV trainees to the lab in the near future.
