For information on applying this template onto existing presentations, refer to the notes on slide 2 of this presentation.
The Input area of the Beam can be customized to reflect the content of the presentation. The Input area is an AutoShape with a picture fill. To change this, ensure you have the image you wish to use (ideally a .jpg or a .png file) in an accessible folder. The image should have a ratio of 1:1 to ensure it does not appear distorted.
Acceptable images for importing into the Input area of the Beam are the three approved graphics (lines), and black and white photography or illustrations which follow the principles laid out on The Branding Zone. Color images should never be imported into this area.
To create a thank you slide with a picture in the Input area of the Beam, duplicate this master slide and create a new master slide. If using the graphic on the title slide the same should be used on the thank you slide. If using a picture in the Input area of the Beam in the title slide, the same or different but related picture can be used on the thank you slide.
Customize the Input area of the Beam as described below.
Click on the View tab from the menu bar and select Master>Slide Master
Right-click on the Input graphic and select Format AutoShape
From the Fill menu, under the Color and Lines tab, click on the drop-down arrow next to Color and select the Fill Effects menu
From the Picture tab, click on Select Picture. Navigate to the folder containing the image you wish to insert in the Input area. Highlight the image and tick the Lock picture aspect ratio box. Click on OK.
You can now preview the image before continuing. If you are happy with how it looks, click Ok to continue. Otherwise, repeat the process until you are happy with your selected image
To exit from Master View, click on View>Normal. The change you made to the Input graphic should now be visible on the title slide

3. 1. Composites in India – An Introduction
Composite Sector’s growth story in India
A combination of two or more materials differing in form or composition on a macroscale.
Composites industry started in India in 1962.
During last three decades, more than 1200 small-scale industries have been established in the country. More than 98% of them use hand lay-up technique for composite fabrication. Improvements in volume growth only started in early 2000 as a result of the globalization of the Indian economy.
Current production of composites is 320,000 Tonnes growing at about 10% per annum.
The composites was identified as a potential material for its application in the Indian Railways in early 80s for many passenger coach components such as louvre & glass shutters, window sill & frame, trays for battery boxes, roof ceiling, flooring etc. The railways were aiming towards complete elimination of timber & plywood usage in the coaches.  The present consumption of composite materials has been estimated at about 8,000 tons in Indian Railways with annual growth rate of 20%.
Current offshore structural applications of composites include low-pressure pipe, gratings, handrails, equipment covers or enclosures and ladders.  Because of lightweight, corrosion resistance, improved life-cycle costs and enhanced safety, composite can capture 50% of this market in the oil & gas sector in the next 5-6 years.
The use of composites for boat building applications started in early 1970s for replacing wood because of certain advantages such as corrosion resistance, ease of fabrication, improved performance and low cost. The marine market for composites stood around 1000 tons per annum as on 2006 and this is expected to grow at 3000 tons by 2010, with applications in leisure boats, houseboats, speedboats etc.

4. Factors Responsible for Growth and Development of Composites in India

7. Composites in India
There is a huge potential for use of composite in Indian automobile industry especially for catering to the transportation needs of growing middle class population. There would be a good market for hoods, cabs, frames, and cargo containers that could be used as part of these locally built vehicles. The business opportunities for Indian composites industry also include air intake manifold, composite fishing trawlers, refrigerated freight containers, pressure vessel for gas, motor driven carts, storage light houses, boats for Tuna fishing, thermoformed components for automotive applications, walkways & piles for building foundation, RCC casting shutters leaf spring, air intake manifold etc.
