SHRI ASIS BHATTACHARYYA

Shri Asis Bhattacharyya was born on 7.11.1959 in Distt. Murshidabad, West Bengal. He studied up to Higher Secondary and achieved professional qualification in the Tool & Die Maker Trade, S.A.T. in Tool Maker Trade and AUTO CAD and AUTO LISP from Regional Computer Centre, Jadavpur University. Presently, he is working as CNC Operator.

Rifle Factory, Ishapore procured a number of CNC Machining Centers against 5.56mm INSAS Rifle weapon project. These machines were commissioned at RFI during the year 1994-95 in Proj. Shop-II. Shri Bhattacharyya was associated with the commissioning engineers of the firm since Jan. 1994. He volunteered to work in the then upcoming CNC shop foregoing his regular incentive earnings. This shows the inclination of the person towards learning newer technology.

The CNC Machining Centres were supplied by M/s Mysore Kirloskar Ltd. of M/S STEINEL, Germany. The manufacturer assured 16.97 minutes cycle time for manufacture of the component Barrel Extension for the 5.56 mm INSAS Rifle. However it was found that the actual cycle time was 21.29 mins. M/S Mysore Kirloskar claimed that the cycle time was more since indigenous tools were deployed.

Shri Bhattacharyya took up the challenge of reducing the cycle-time. He did a lot of experiments with toolings, cutting parameters, the part-programme, sequence of operations and alternative cutting operations for achieving a particular dimension etc. all alone, often overstaying beyond duty hours for approximately two months of hard and totally devoted working to carry out experimentation. He undertook a self-study of the Tool manufacturers' catalogues. Ultimately, he was successful in bringing down the cycle-time to 17.04 minutes inspite of two additional operations due to change of drawing requirements. This resulted in a saving Rs.56 lakhs per annum.

Shri Bhattachayya changed the sequence of operations, combined certain operations, eliminated some of the tools and replaced some tools by a different tool in order to reduce the rejection percentage and to improve quality.

Shri Bhattacharyya noticed that the existing 'CAM Programme' required 80% of the jobs rework resulting in loss of 600 mandays per annum. He took the challenge of decoding the part programme and amended the programme by replacing the R-parameters by a practical value, thereby saving of two men who could be shifted to productive area.

Shri Bhattacharyya prepared a process control card used in quality control which has helped in timely input of tool wear compensation data to the m/c and thereby reducing the rework. The benefits arising out of this are qualitative in nature.

Thus, Shri Asis Bhattacharyya through his innovations, has contributed a lot in improvement of quality and quantity of production of Barrel Extension for 5.56 mm INSAS Rifle through CNC route.

Only because of his sincere initiative, innovative thinking, dedicated hard work, exemplary zeal and enthusiasm Rifle factory, Ishapore is making recurring yearly direct saving of Rupees 56 lakhs to the Govt.

i think it is high time india pulls out all it's troops from un missions everywhere they are posted.i don't think india soldier would prefer to die even in the name of peace in such volatile countries even though it pays very high.this whole exercise of sending peace contingent is nothing but a GOI's feeble attempt to garner political support from the world community for a permanent seat in the un security council which effort has failed miserably in the last 50 years or so.

there is nothing wrong but everything to be proud of to die protecting innocent civilians whichever country they belong.un role is important for india to contribute to world peace moreover protecting innocent civilans and a person dying in un mission is as much a martyr as a person dying in war with other countries.

No doubt soldiers who died in the south sudan incident are matryrs who have laid down their lives in order to protect innocent civilians of south sudan.But my point is india army should concentrate on promoting peace in india which is pleagued by insurgency-(kahmir,north east,naxals) rather than be a thekedar of world peace like america.recently there was a huge demand from crpf operating in naxal regions for iaf helicopter support for battlefield insertion,recon,medvac etc.but it later came to light that many of iaf spare helicopters are deployed in un missions in africa.Also i feel that this whole exercise of sending peace contingent is nothing but a GOI's feeble attempt to garner political support from the world community for a permanent seat in the un security council which effort has failed miserably in the last 50 years or so.

First bro either your fact are outdated or are incorrect as per latest information 12 IAF helicopters are deployed for these task under operation triveni.
Among these are 6 latest acquired mi 17 v5 so no need of spare helicopters.Additional can be deployed if the need arises however crpf is setting it's own air wing now .

Now come to your point of not being able to garner permanent seat in UN this is direct result of goi incompetence and nothing else contribution of troops to these mission have done nothing but added value to the demand of un permanent seat but alone on its basis no one can get that you need other persuasive efforts in which our government miserably fails .So it's government fault for not being able to capitalize on it.

our diplomat's who link india to the rest of the world feel that international standing and world image have been enhanced substantially due to its contribution to un peace keeping in different part of the world.few days back in one of the tv debate the anchor put the same question as urs to a prominent ex diplomat to which he answered the clout and influence enjoyed by india in world affairs and among other countries despite of not being a major economical or military power is only because of india contribution to un.

The army official's feel that participation in UN peace mission provides valuable training and experience to India's armed forces.

come down to soldiers it's seen as prize a stint in un peace mission because they are highly rewarding in terms of money.

now you argue about various insurgencies going inside india do you think even if we call all are soldiers back this would provide additional help in tackling these .I don't think so indian army is huge there is no lack of manpower un missions do not have any effect on coin operation's.there are enough soldiers who sit in their barracks which can be deployed if the need arises but as their is no such need hence are not deployed.

so un mission does not effect are coin operation's .so by sending or not sending troops to un missions does not bear any implication on our coin operation's.

Had an unexpected event recently, Was confronted with INSAS Excalibur at some local mela ..

There was a OFB stall, And they displayed Excalibur, As i was not ready took few pictures but in details, And as the stall was crowded could not ask much questions either ..

Though will post these pics after editing ..
