Modi
kicks off novel housing projects in six cities / Business
Journal – 02 Jan 2020
Extract :
Laying the foundation stone for six projects under the Global
Housing Technology Challenge-India being taken up in six States, Prime
Minister Narendra Modi said these will give a “new direction to housing
construction.”
The projects involve building 1,000 houses – light
houses – in each city using modern technology for cost effectiveness and speed of
construction. They are being constructed at Indore, Rajkot, Chennai, Ranchi,
Agartala and Lucknow.
Each project will serve as incubation centre, he said, urging
architects, planners, engineers and students to visit these projects.
He expressed happiness on the active participation of more than
50 innovative construction companies from around the world.
Talking about new technologies being adopted for the six Light
House Projects, he said that
Ø
The project in Indore will not have
brick and mortar walls, instead they will use the prefabricated sandwich panel
system.
Ø
The light houses in Rajkot will be built
using French technology and have monolithic concrete construction technology
using tunnel and the house will be
more capable of withstanding disasters
Ø
In Chennai, US and Finland technologies will use
the precast concrete system, which
will construct the house faster and cheaper.
Ø
In Ranchi, houses will be
built using Germany’s 3D
construction system. Each room will be made separately and then the entire
structure will be put together.
During the event, he also released a certificate course on
innovative construction technologies named ‘’NAVARITIH’’ (New, Affordable,
Validated, Research Innovation Technologies for Indian Housing) and a
compendium of 54 innovative housing construction technologies identified through
GHTC-India.
The Light House Projects (LHPs) showcase the best of new-age
alternative global technologies, materials and processes in the construction
sector for the first time
Talking about its benefits for the middle classes, Modi said
they are getting rebates on home loan interest. The Prime Minister also
recounted the measures taken recently to help the real estate sector.
Measures like
Ø reduction
of tax on cheap houses from 8 to 1 percent,
Ø GST
reduction from 12 to 5 per cent,
Ø recognising
the sector as infrastructure for making it eligible for cheap loans,
have taken country’s ranking for construction permit from 185 to
27, he said, adding that procedure for construction permissions have been taken
online in more than 2,000 towns.
He also said that more than two crore housing units have been
constructed in rural India and effort will be on to accelerate the speed of
rural housing this year.

Dear Shri Hardeep Singh Puriji,
It is very heartening that the Global Housing
Technology Challenge that you launched nearly 3 YEARS ago ( Feb 2018 ), is finally getting
translated into a concrete / quantified / time-bound, action
on the ground
I am presuming that the BUILDING
SPECIFICATIONS ( such as, Plinth Area / Total Building Area / No of
Stories / Materials of Constructions with their load-bearing capacities / Floor
Heights / Services running through the walls etc ), will be IDENTICAL for all
participating companies
Only through strict compliance with such STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS, can COST / SQ FT and TIME TAKEN for constructing each house, can be compared ( Apple for Apple )
That alone will enable you to RANK
the different technologies used by different companies
I urge you to entrust this task (of monitoring adhering to the Specifications / time taken
) to a third party CONSULTING FIRM of
international repute
The role / scope of work for such a third party AUDITOR should be clearly publicized on the web site
of your Ministry.
The RANKING
FORMULA and the actual findings (for each city ) should also be
publicized on your web site
During
the launch of Light House project, Shri Modiji invited architects, planners, engineers and students to visit these projects.
Shri Modiji’s suggestion is unique, as far as exploiting this
project as a life-time “ learning opportunity “ is concerned
But, in India, we have some 3179
Civil engineering colleges, admitting each year, close to 6
lakh students
Hence the number of Civil Engineering students / employed civil
engineers / civil engineering lecturers-professors / architects / Structural
engineers / Interior designers / skilled civil workers ( masons-carpenters –
electricians – plumbers – brick layers etc ), could easily run into millions
Here is a method to “ remotely train “ these
millions of construction professionals, in NEW construction technologies, WITHOUT visiting
those sites :
Ø Construction
companies ( Foreign Technology donor + Indian Partner Company ), to deploy 8 / 10
drones ( in each of the 3 shifts of 8 hours each ) to “ Live Stream “ the videos of
actual construction taking place, at each site.
Ø These
VIDEOS to be made visible to the entire world in real-time basis, as
currently being done for TESLA’s Giga-factories under construction at Austin
and Berlin ( Note : Partnering by some Indian Construction company at each city
location , should be made mandatory
to achieve a satisfactory “ transfer of technology “ )

Ø All class-rooms in all Civil Engineering
Colleges to be installed with ZOOM type of Video Conferencing facilities, with options to connect to the SITE OFFICES of each
city project. This will enable millions of students and professors to “ ask questions “ to the Site Project Managers ( and
get immediate answers ) – even as they are watching / viewing the “ Live Stream
“ .
I feel Microsoft / Google etc will be too
happy to provide the necessary hardware / software to the colleges
Ø If challenged, I thinks these tech giants would be happy to install in each college, a HOLOGRAPHIC projection of
the actual construction taking place in each of the 6 cities
( Read :
Jio Glass will even enable Holographic
3D meetings , across the world

The
world's first HOLOGRAM protest
Ø To
motivate year-long
learning through
active participation, announce competition / prizes ( Rs 10 lakh / Rs 5 lakh /
Rs 2 lakh ) for civil engineering colleges to submit by 31 Oct 2021 , their CONSTRUCTION
TECHNOLOGY RANKING FORMULA to your Ministry . Winners may be
felicitated by your good self and invited to ride a float in the Republic Day
parade of 26 Jan 2022 . These formulas should be published on ministry’s web
site
Ø Only
yesterday, while laying the foundation stone of IIM-Sambalpur ( through VIDEO
conference ), Shri Modiji said :
“
The goal of self-reliant India will be achieved with the help of COLLABORATIVE
, INNOVATIVE and
Noting that technology is reducing
distances between regions, Modiji said, India has brought speedy reforms
