Dear Friends,
I hope you and your family are keeping safe and
doing well. After the unexpected interruption in the construction activities due to Covid-19 pandemic, the activities are slowly resuming now. During the crisis, ACCE (I) and our members have contributed towards the relief activities and supported the
Government departments. Many of our ACCE (I)
canters have organized knowledge dissemination activities through the webinars. I thank all our members for their timely response and magnanimitytowardsthesociety.
While we are worrying about Covid-19, suddenly
there is a lot of discussion among Architects & Engineers on their roles and responsibilities; who hastodowhat?
Engineers are demanding for
from long time, a bill for engineers to register and to follow ethics code. As reported by The Hindu dated
15th September 2019, First draft of Bill has been
submitted to HRD Ministry. The bill is taking its finalshapeundertheaegisoftheAllIndiaCouncilof
Technical Education
(AICTE) and the
Ministry of Human
Resource
Development. The
first draft of the Bill has been submitted to the Ministry. It has been suggested to have a council to register engineers on the lines of those that exist for lawyers, doctors, architects and pharmacists. The Bill has been draftedby a committeeconstituted by the AICTE.The committee comprises Sandeep Sancheti, Vice-
Chancellor of SRM Institute of Technology,
Chennai; M.S. Ananth, former director of the Indian
Institute of Technology -Madras; and J.
Chandrasekhar, chairperson of Aerospace, School of
Engineering, AmritaVishwa Vidyapeetham,
Coimbatore. Mr. Ananth is the chairman of the
committee.
AICTE chairman Anil D. Sahasrabuddhe told The
Hindu that the committee had handed over its
recommendations and it is in the discussion stage.
He has also said that some more changes are
requiredanditwilltakesometime.
ACCE(I) is meticulously following
through the past
PresidentEr.SannaRatnavel,andworkingtowards
its successful passage through the Indian parliament.
Even though the roles and responsibilities have
been very clearly stated in the Architects Act-1972 and the National Building Codes (NBC), some friends of Architecture through Council of
Architecture (COA) keep on trying to misrepresent
the Architects Act by redefining Architectural
Servicesagainandagain.
I would like to reproduce the extracts of the same for informationofalltheprofessionals:"Engineers Bill" The

The legislation protects the title "architects" but does not make the design, supervision and construction of buildings as an exclusive responsibility of architects.
