Prof. (Dr) A. Sharma Registrar, It gives me great pleasure that Mechanical Engineering Department of Sikkim Manipal Institute of Technology is organizing International Conference on Mechanical Materials and Renewable Energy (ICMMRE-2017). The topics covered under the conference are major research areas for modern day requirements. However, the field is not yet fully explored, and demands thorough understanding. Therefore, there is ample scope for innovative research and collaboration between academia and industry to achieve this goal. I am hopeful and confident that ICMMRE-2017 with its brain-storming sessions will be able to bring innovative thoughts and ideas on mechanical materials and renewable energy that would have long-lasting impact on society. With Best Wishes, Prof. (Dr.) Ashis Sharma Registrar 3
