  8. After seeing the MESA Award Photo of a young Indian Mineral Engineer, Dr Y Rama Murthy on the MEI blog I felt I should put some of my views on record. Acknowledging others contribution honestly and giving due recognition to others needs courage. This is the greatest quality you have with you. Besides your passion and commitment to the subject Mineral Engineering your belongingness to this Profession has kept the flag of Mineral Engineering flying high in today’s world. I hope the mineral industry recognises your service being rendered.
    At this stage I can say only THANKS to you because you deserve much more than this. I also thank Dr DMR Sekhar for his encouragement.
    My congratulations to Dr Rama Murthy
    Prof Nikkam Suresh, Dept of Fuel & Mineral Engineering, Indian School of Mines,
