\u201cFor developing sustainable infrastructure including the construction of roads, bridges, ports, power plants and water supply, the construction industry and builders must adopt a completely different attitude towards natural and cultural systems. Sustainable growth helps in protecting vital natural resources along with promoting efficient use of financial resources. Sustainable infrastructure not just protects the environment, but also adds long-term value to the facilities. It enhances the quality of life for citizens of the country.\u201d Said Mr Kaushal Kishore , Union Minister of state for Urban development while inaugurating a two day seminar on \u2018Sustainable built environment built for future \u2018 organised by the Indian Buildings Congress (IBC) here today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe building industry should also find innovative ways to increase capacity building of the infrastructure and construction industry, quality of civil works and need to improve project management through an efficient dispute resolution mechanism..The industry should also give top priority to protection of the environment and climate change in executing all various infrastructure projects.\u201d Said Dr Ogunshakin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe People\u2019s Republic of China, which was established two years after India\u2019s Independence, had a similar vision of \u2018Make-in-China\u2019 and they took over large portions of markets, including in India, with their cheap products which people wanted. So, with a \u201cfeeling of nationalism\u201d things can be done better. Officers will do their work more diligently if they have those feelings that \u201cthey are doing it for their country and its prosperity\u201d, the minister said.The minister also presented awards including to Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) which was received by Mr Mangu Singh, CEO of DMRC .
