Dear Friends,

Quality Council of India mapped November 2018 as Quality Month which

provided distinctive platform for all the quality professionals to showcase
their strategies in order to propagate quality as a habit. Quality month was
dedicated to raise awareness on the contribution that quality makes towards
quality of life and national prosperity.

Quality Council of India creates and promotes quality culture thereby

maintaining quality consciousness amongst important sectors of education,
healthcare, environment infrastructure and other important sector in
manufacturing, services & public delivery. QCI resonates with the quality
needs of the nation and develops an ecosystem to accomplish the same in a
sustained manner.

Let’s begin the year with the resolution to participate and be the part of the
Quality Culture in India.
