<p>The Royal Institute of British Architects, in London, has announced that it will open a Chapter in India, in 2015, to offer “enhanced membership support, networking opportunities and a forum for local activities and Continuing Professional Development (CPD)”. <br /><br /></p>.<p>It will also allow RIBA to work “collaboratively with the Indian Institute of Architects for the <br />enhancement of the profession”. <br /><br />The launch of this branch of RIBA follows the opening of Chapters in the United States, Hong Kong and the Gulf in recent years. <br /><br />According to Chloe Sadler, RIBA Head of International Chapters, RIBA currently has “just under 100 members in India who are working tirelessly to uphold the principles <br />of the institute and share the importance of good design”. <br /><br />The new Chapter, Sadler added, “will cement RIBA’s commitment to support our members in India through knowledge exchange and the celebration of architecture”. <br /><br />The Royal Institute of British Architects was founded in 1834 as the Institute of British Architects, and received a Royal Charter three years later.<br /><br /> It does not receive any government funding, but relies on its 40,000 members, supporters and its charitable trading operations to meet its financial needs. <br /><br />Geetha Balachandran</p>
