PDF Document 

 
A council paper submitted by Vice President, Eng Granie Jayalath on 7th May 2021 , drawing the attention of IESL to get intervened and to have an amicable solution towards the 70 years old Human- Elephant Conflict ( HEC) our country facing, was approved to proceed on.
Preamble
Since 1940, Human-elephant conflict (HEC) has become a serious socio-cultural and socio-economic problem in Sri Lanka. Globally, Sri Lanka had the highest annual elephant deaths and second highest human deaths, due to HEC.   Though in average 250 elephants die annually, in year 2018 it exceeded 300 and in year 2019 it surpassed 400 deaths. Similarly, 96 humans died in year 2018 and it was 120 in year 2019.  Today elephants live within 62% of the land area of the country. Within 44% of the land area elephants and people live together with conflicts. 
Measures we had been adopting so far had not been successful to mitigate the HEC.  Meanwhile in year 2006, a policy had been formulated depicting how HEC could be resolved  following the “co-existence philosophy”, but it has not yet been implemented.
 
Call for members to join the team
In order to arrive at a viable ideology, certainly, we need a multi-disciplinary approach with contributions of all concerned stakeholders, including the contributions of citizens, villagers and farmers.  IESL intends to develop a policy directive to this Socio- cultural and Socio-economically sensitive issue with the intention of submitting to his Excellency the President and other respective stakeholder institutions.  Those who are interested and willing to contribute, are kindly requested to inform the Manager Publicity, IESL via email mgr.pub@iesl.lk on or before 18th May 2021. The TOR and the action plan are to be circulated among the members of the committee on 20th May 2021.

Opportunity to Chemical Engineers for a Pre-feasibility study assignment
Paranthan Chemicals Company Ltd (PCCL), a State-owned company functioning under the purview of the Ministry of Industries has initiated a feasibility study to set up a caustic soda/chlorine plant at Paranthan in Kilinochchi District. There were four products identified to be manufactured in this project, namely caustic soda, chlorine, hydrochloric acid and sodium hypochlorite. However in the market study of this feasibility study has shown that there is a huge market potential for poly aluminium chloride (PAC). As such PCCL has decided to incorporate PAC into the project. Polyaluminium Chloride (PAC) is an effective & useful substitute for Aluminium Sulfate (Alum) which is conventionally used for removal of mud/turbidity in most of water treatment plants in Sri Lanka.
Poly aluminium chloride demand in Sri Lanka is 8,500 metric tons annually with an increasing demand trend. This volume equates approximately a market value of Rs. 600 million annually. As such PCCL has initiated a literature survey/study on commercially available production technologies so that best technology can be identified to set up a PAC plant. PCCL intends to get the assistance of a team of Chemical Engineers for this study. A Terms of Reference is prepared for this study. A honorarium will be paid to the Engineers participating in this study as an appreciation of their contribution towards this assignment.
Interested Chemical Engineers shall contact the Secretary of the Chemical Engineering Sectional Committee for further details & to obtain the TOR.
The deadline is 22nd February 2021.

“Drive Smart, Save lives” Program by CESC of the IESL
In a moment when center of attention is taken by Covid 19 global pandemic, as professionals in the field, Civil Engineering sectional committee (CESC) of the Institute of Engineers Sri Lanka (IESL) has planned to launch an awareness program “Drive Smart, Save lives” regarding road accidents to the general public and also to the Engineers.
As per the statistics, in 2019, a total of 30,433 motor accidents were reported, claiming the lives of 2839 people. In fact, road accidents are within the top 10 most contributing cause of total deaths in Sri Lanka. There are many contributing factors to the occurrence of such incidents. Recklessness of drivers, lack of knowledge, fatigue or stress, human errors, road conditions, poor health and lack of driving experience are few contributing factors among many possible root causes. With accident related data it is conclusive that vehicle accidents are resulted in affecting human lives and economy in significant manner. As a conclusion, it is imperative to take necessary actions to avoid such incidents as much as possible. CESC has intended to conduct the program in different stages by following various strategies to enhance the knowledge, discipline of the general public. In addition, more importantly, CESC is engaged in increasing engineers’ contribution to reduce accidents by identifying root causes and providing engineering solutions.   
In order to commence the “Drive Smart, Save lives” program, CESC has decided to distribute an informative flyer and windscreen sticker among general public as the first step of the said program at the Kottawa Expressway interchange. In addition, a brief discussion will be held on with the presence of experts in the field at the event location. Furthermore, as the 2nd event of the program, a panel discussion will be conducted at the beginning of the next month. Both events will be recorded and broadcasted later via EVENT TV. In addition, panel discussion will be broadcasted as a live event via IESL YOU TUBE channel.
Details related to the events are indicated below.
Date – 14th February 2021

INVITATION TO JOIN THE IESL ETHICS COMMITTEE  
Following is an invitation from the Chairman of the Council appointed Committee Chairman, Eng. Granie Jayalath – Vice President IESL to join the IESL Ethics Committee. The first meeting has been scheduled for 5.00 pm on 15th January 2021 at the Members’ Lounge of  IESL head office.
 

Background 

Thought out the last several decades, we had gradually lost image within the society. As you are aware there are many examples/ cases warranting this situation. Among many others one important factor that had contributed towards this situation had been the violation of our own code of ethics by our own members. Meanwhile it was evidenced that the share of violations the “Code of Ethics” had shouldered a significant portion towards the prevailing situation. Members had been used to point out that the current “Code of Ethics” warrant revisit & re-drafting so that violations could simply be analyzed making reference to the code of ethics, which is not the case with prevailing code. Because of this situation the committee called “Ethic Committee” was rejuvenated at the last council meeting. 
 

Objectives of Ethics Committee

 

Conducting general awareness sessions for membership.
Analysing of inquiries related to violation of code ethics & submit observations and recommendations to the council.
Revisit the existing code of ethics & develop a simplified version of it so that members could understand and follow them easily.
Whether Ethic committee could serve as a “Saviour“ for those who are compelled to commit violations against their own consciences.  

 
Those who wish to join the first meeting of the “Ethics Committee” are requested to express their willingness by dropping an Email to CEO/ES (email: es@iesl.lk) on or before 13th January 2021.

Objections of IESL on the UDA’s Attempt to Gazette the Proposed Revised Draft of the UDA Regulations
 
Letter sent to UDA by President - Click Here 
Annex 01
Annex02
Annex 03
 

As engineers we were benefitted by the free education system patronized by the citizens of this country. Hence it is our responsibility to give helping hand to blooming buds in our nation to brighten up their lives too. As leading professionals, IESL Women Engineers’ Forum (WEF) has realized that it is the responsibility and duty of us to support the students of rural schools who are going through a hard time to get their education with unbelievably limited resources. . WEF came up with an annual charity program called “Blooming Buds” in year 2018. We were able to support over 170 school children in year 2018 and over 110 school children in year 2019 in rural areas in the country with the kind donations of our IESL members and other well-wishers by donating them with stationaries, bags, shoes and other facilities needed by school.
Due to the prevailing situation due to Covid-19 pandemic, sanitary facilities are essential in schools where many schools do not have sufficiently. This year, WEF plans to provide sanitary facilities to three schools with less facilities. Proposals were obtained from the Executive Committee members and the Advisory committee members of the WEF. After evaluating the proposals, three schools were selected. Proposals and estimates were prepared for the three schools. The proposals were prioritised considering the beneficiary factor and will be implemented according to the receipt of contributions.
The requirements of the three schools are as follows.




Priority order


Details of the school


Available facilities


Requirement considered for implementation


Estimated Cost (LKR)




1


Giridara Sribodhi Vidyalaya, Kapugoda, Dompe
(Mixed school with 338 students and 12 teachers)


3 male toilets and only one is functioning.
 
3 female toilets are used by girls and teachers. But, all are in poor quality.


1 male toilet and 1 teachers’ toilet.


589,585.44
 




2


Kuli/ L.B. Jayasena M.V, Horagasagaara,
Hiruwalpola
(Mixed school with 270 students and 24 teachers)
 


4 toilets available for students but not in good condition. 01 toilet available for teachers.


1 male toilet and 1 female toilet.


567,838.44

Ch/SippikalanaVidyalaya, Mugunawatawana (Near Chilaw)
(Mixed school with
168 students and 16 teachers.)


2 toilets available with minimum facilities.


1 male toilet and 1 female toilet.


567,838.44
 




 
“Helping others in their times of need is the best gift to the humanity”. Hence WEF believe that this is the right time for us to get together and lend our hands for a worthy cause. Children are the future of this country and by investing for children’s basic needs in schools; we are contributing to the country’s development and self-sufficient literate society.
To make this endeavour a reality, WEF would like to invite you to join hands with us both monetarily and morally.

Dear Member:
As the President of Institution of Engineers, Sri Lanka (IESL), I would like to inform you that, IESL, in its 114 year history, has made numerous positive contributions to development efforts of the country. As recently as 2008, IESL proposed the Colombo Suburban Railway Project (CSRP) and IESL was the happiest when news broke out that the project would commence in 2020.  Involvement of IESL in this particular project, as well as in other national projects that are beneficial to the country, has only two intentions. One - The project will be done without fail and Two - The project represents good value for public money invested.
One of the major concerns of IESL In recent years was the under-utilization of Sri Lankan engineering expertise in national level projects. This was highlighted by IESL at a recent meeting with His Excellency the President where we stated that (a) Sri Lankan Engineers have the full capacity of doing all Pre-feasibility, feasibility and pre-tender work of any Project (b) It is important to increase the local component in all engineering projects (c) It is important to establish a national plan for development spanning at least 30 year duration and (d) It is essential to have input of Sri Lankan Engineers in all projects from pre-feasibility stage to completion. HE the President affirmed IESL’s views.

Inviting proposals for innovative ideas of water conservation techniques for Home Gardening
CoVID – 19 pandemic brought in significant impacts to the society and the threat to immediate food security is on top of the list. It is evident that Government is highly encouraging home gardening as a remedial measure to this situation. There is a clear interest in the society for home gardening and it is fair to conclude that this situation would prevail for some time.  However, the water requirement for home gardening will increase the domestic per capita water usage all over the country. According to the National Water Supply and Drainage Board, the cost of production of one m3 of treated water is about Rs. 50 and it will be a real challenge to provide increased domestic water demand continuously. 
Objective:
As responsible organisation, Water Forum of IESL, is encouraging the home gardening drive by all means. In the meantime, we shall encourage identifying the ways and means of managing the additional water demand. One of the ways in this regard is to minimize water usage and to identify cost effective and easily adoptable means of reducing water use (in real sense, to feed only the actual requirement of water for the crop). Drip irrigation, automated sprinkler systems, rainwater harvesting, revival of dug wells, re-use of water are some techniques which can be adopted. 
Invitation:
The innovative proposals for best water conserving measures for Home Gardening are invited from Members of IESL. Proposal should be innovative, simple, practical, aimed at conserving water and energy and suitable to implement on households in Sri Lanka. Proposals will be evaluated under three categories based on suitability home gardening in (A) Urban (B) Peri-urban (C) Dry zone areas. Proposals can be submitted for any type of above three areas and the type and the type should be clearly mentioned in your proposal. A panel of experts consisting of professionals from different branches of water sector will evaluate the proposals based on innovativeness, simplicity, practicality, effectiveness in water and energy conservation and suitability for the selected area). The selected best three proposals, one from each category will be recognized and awarded by the Water Forum of IESL.  
Proposal Submission Deadline: 6th June  2020 
Email your proposals to: secretarywaterforumiesl@gmail.com Cc: ieslpub@gmail.com

Find the Effortless Now! The Two Day Non-Residential Workshop (non-religious event)
With Direct guidance & sound healing
Truly being in the Now… is to be in an effortless state while you go about everyday life.
When you are in the Effortless Now you may engage with the world, thinking, talking, being active… but your mind is effortlessly aware, and relaxed. This is what is meant to be in the Effortless Now, the true present moment awareness.
 The Effortless Now is a state of being, not a state of doing, in which you can very much be active in the world should you wish to…
The Effortless Now is also the state of flow that the high achievers and competitive sportsmen and women try to get in to, and what the religions talk about as a basic necessity for happiness. It is the way to become more self-aware and at peace, and much more besides.
 Being in the Effortless Now will change your life from inside out. You can learn how to be in this state the same way you can learn how to walk, swim or drive.
This program would teach you step by step to do exactly that.
As a result of learning to be in Effortless Presence you will:


be more relaxed and self-aware
be able to let go of the inner chatter
begin the journey to let go of long held grief, fears and phobias, anger issues, and other negative content in the mind and body
have a greater attention span and concentration
let go of stress due to work and troubling issues
be more intuitive
make better decisions in home and work life
improve interpersonal skills
be in better mental and physical health
begin to feel joy in life


“Life gives you plenty of time to do whatever you want to do
if you stay in the present moment” –Deepak Chopra   
 What the Effortless Present is:

It is a natural state of being


It is a conscious state. It is conscious of content of the mind rather than an unconscious state that is identified with mind content, i.e. the normal waking state
Anyone can identify it within oneself.
The thinking process can be integrated into to the Effortless Now, meaning that one can actively think, plan, etc., while effortlessly being in the present.
You can fully integrate it in to an ethical life.
It is a state that can be deepened to include the spiritual dimension, beyond mere belief.
[Note: what it is not primarily is a state where one tries to exclude the thoughts of the past or the future while trying to concentrate on the present. In other words, it includes the thoughts of the past or the future within an effortless present moment awareness that one intuitively connects to].

There is a precise science to being in the Effortless Present…
All genuine methods in spirituality and meditation will eventually get you in touch with the Effortless Present, including mindfulness meditation.
However this usually takes a considerable amount of time and effort. And not everyone will dedicate themselves enough to reach this state through meditation alone.There is however an alternative:
One can be introduced to the Effortless Present through a direct pointing out by a teacher.
Teachers with very specific consciousness/energy based skills can do this direct pointing out in that anyone open to this teaching can perceive the Effortless Presence within them using their own higher intuition to do so.
Sometime after being introduced in to the Effortless Now
You will be taught how to use sound yoga and music to go deeper in to the Effortless Now..
There is an ancient practice of healing and transformation through sound. Modern clinical psychiatry also uses music in its therapeutic work.
Music and sound can be attuned to in a particular way to give you an experience of deep relaxation and increased awareness.
In this workshop you will be shown the transformative power of connecting with music and sound to deepen your experience of the Effortless Now. This will also give you a joyful way to connect with your inner self through sound and music.
 A guarantee: everyone will find and experience the Effortless Present by the end of this program.
 The effect of being in the Effortless Presence in your work life:

Being in the Effortless Presence will mean that you will be in a state of relaxed alertness during your work. This will put you ‘in state’ to handle work-commitments more efficiently.
Creativity, not just in art, but in real-life situations, happens best when you are relaxed and alert at the same time. Your mind will bring up solutions seemingly out of nowhere when you are in this state. This is the so called ‘aha’ moment.
The reason why people come up with brilliant solutions to problems right after a good sleep and rest is because the state of relaxed alertness happens naturally for a short interval right after a good sleep. But the good news here is that that window of relaxed alertness can be had naturally with Effortless Present, and much longer than a short moment. In fact, one can life one’s entire life in this state of relaxed alertness, after some deepening.
The fundamental reason why most people are exhausted after a day of a white-collar job isn’t due to physical tiredness. The primary reason here is the mind that gets in to states of irritation, anger, anxiety, that it holds on to. The very nature of Effortless Present is clearing the mind through awareness. This will cut down or eliminate mental stress on the job itself.
Once you are genuinely relaxed, and not just trying to appear relaxed, others too will be naturally relaxed around you. You will enjoy their company, and they, yours. You will naturally have better interpersonal skills when you in the Effortless Present.
Once you start stabilising in the Effortless Present, you will open up the door of intuitive awareness, which is direct knowledge. Creativity is just one manifestation of higher intuition, the latter being infinitely vaster. The effect of this in your life in general, to whatever extent you will connect to this direct knowledge, will be immeasurable.
