Singh, chairman of the trade and technology show, held a meeting with senior functionaries of Singhbhum Industries Association (SIA), Adityapur small industries Association (ASIA), institute of foundrymen and associated chamber of commerce (Assocham) at the Telco Club last night.

The marathon meeting discussed the plans for preparing for the trade show in which the railways, ordnance factory, NTPC, Tata Steel, Telco, ONGC, BCCL, ECL and CCL are expected to participate.

The team that would arrange the trade show includes U.K. Srivastava and B.N. Dixit (both alumni members), Bikas Mukherjee, president of SIA, V.P. Singh and Gurudas Ray, the president and general secretary of ASIA and A.K. Srivastava of Assocham.
