In the early years of inception Annual Reports were published containing information on the technical activities of the members. The first Bulletin was published in 1956, which contained technical papers contributed by the members. The Bulletin was changed into a quarterly journal in 1962. In addition to technical papers, it included a News and Note feature. From October 1968, a separate quarterly Newsletter was introduced. The Journal has a wide circulation and is retrieved internationally. The current volume number of Journal is 39. The IGS News has been made more articulate. Papers/Articles on various topics in geotechnical engineering are being published. The devastating earthquake at Gujarat and Tsunami devastation in South India were covered by special editions of IGS News. Besides papers of special interest are also published in IGS NEWS for wide circulation.
