Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Construction Technologies From Everywhere





Outlook ( 25 Feb ) carries following news :







The Union housing ministry plans a "massive dissemination and outreach" programme for the Global Housing Construction Technology Challenge, it set to launch for building affordable and sustainable houses in the country, an official said.


The initiative aims to give a major push to construction of houses for the urban poor under the Centre's flagship Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban).


The Centre will invite companies from across the world to showcase their construction techniques under the 'Global Housing Construction Technology Challenge', the official said, adding the technologies selected would be used for building houses under the PMAY(U) scheme.


The ministry targets to construct 1.2 crore houses under the scheme in a bid to provide houses to all urban poor by 2022. So far, nearly 40 lakh houses have been sanctioned under the scheme.


"We are going for massive dissemination and outreach programme. We will inform all countries, all associations and business bodies about the competition. We are in the process of finalising it. In the next two to three months, we will come up with a full-fledged programme," the official said.


He said the competitors would be required to demonstrate construction of houses at a minimum cost in minimum duration, keeping Indian requirements in mind




This is a very welcome initiative .  Late no doubt but “ better late than never “ !



I urge shri Hardeep Singh Puriji ( Minister for Housing ) to invite the FOREIGN COMPANIES mentioned in my following blogs to come forward to give demonstration of their technologies
