Dear Sefians
Just one question
If Engineering is no profession in India then why service tax?
then why FIRs in case of Fault Design
then why imprisionment in case lack of safety measures.
then why every year UPSC conduct Indian engineering services exam
why sate serive of engineering cadre is there.
I think such type of statements should be avoided for the sake of profession we are lowering the image of profession with such type of statements.

Engineering is a profession but it has no legal/statutory recognition in
India like the medical profession or the architects or the charetered
accountants.
Why do we have separate Acts of the Parliament for these (and many other)
professions ?
The answer is simple and obvious. Acts of Parliament impart statutory powers
to their Governing Councils to regulate their profession. This is statutory
(legal) recognition.
THIS RECOGNITION IS NOT AVAILABLE TO ENGINEERING PROFESSION
This is what the Engineers Bill is about
Let us not confuse this with criminal cases against individuals or firms for
which
FIRs may be lodged. These have no relevance to the recognition or otherwise
of any profession whatsoever.
Fellow engineering professional ! Please read the draft Engineers Bill and
you will understand why over 20 professional societies have deliberated on
the draft of Engineers bill for months and why we are trying to get such a
Bill enacted by the Parliament for over 20 years.
