Divisional Activities

  The Institute operates seven divisions, listed below, to conduct studies and research works on various subjects. Each division may have sections and subcommittees, or necessary. These divisions also conduct studies and research work on specific subjects in concert with related government ministries, agencies or other outside organizations.
  Results of these studies and research works are consolidated into reports or reference materials for publication, presentation, or submission to consignors (or clients).
