MINING ENGINEERS’ ASSOCIATION OF INDIA (MEAI)

The Mining Engineers’ Association of India (MEAI) was founded in the year 1957 under the dynamic leadership of Mr. N. S. Claire. The Association came into existence due to the collective vision and wisdom of a few enterprising mining engineers’ working in the metal mining belt of Orissa and Bihar. The founders of the Association had to struggle to establish a base for the Association’s effective functioning during its infancy. It was only in the year 1965 that they could succeed in getting the Association registered under the Indian Trade Union Act, 1926 with its Registered office at Rungta House, Barbil, Orissa.

The association was registered under the Societies Act, 1860 on 15th April 1981. Initially, the title of the Association was conceived as Mining Engineers’ (Metalliferous) Association. Subsequently, the  title was changed to Mining Engineers’ Association of India in order to bring all the professionals working in the mining fraternity under its fold. The aim of establishing such a professional body was to safeguard and enhance the professional competence and integrity of mining industry professionals.  MEAI has 26 Chapters that are geographically located across the length and breadth of the country.

The head quarters of the association was shifted to Hyderabad in the year 1995 to enable the members from different parts of the country to have easy access in view of the geographical location of Hyderabad. To meet the objectives of the association, MEAI conducts periodically National, International Seminars and Symposia, Workshops, Training Programmes, Group Discussions, etc., besides publishing a monthly magazine “Mining Engineers Journal” and distributes to all the members (6000) freely every month.
