Er. Th. Prameshwor Singh, the theme speaker, emphasized that Standards play a key role in the development of National and International infrastructures, economies and trade. Standardization has become a key component of innovation strategies in the Europe. United States and countries like China. India needs to get actively involved in creating standards rather than merely complying with standards set in US. Europe or even China. Manipur can initiate this process by bringing standardization in technical education and research. Other speakers also deliberated their views and opinions about standards to be adopted, to bring about a change in terms of development in the modern society.
