Appeal to Fund Uttarakhand Relief Operations

As you are aware, Uttarakhand has been hit by heavy rains and flash floods at many places in the state causing loss of valuable lives and properties. Districts of Uttarkashi, Rudraprayag, Chamoli, Tehri and Pithoragarh have been severely impacted leaving thousands stranded.

The loss is tremendous and needs our help today. The State Government, District Administration and the Army are fully involved in the relief measures. 

As part of the corporate social responsibility and the compassion to such tragedies, the CII Members have always extended support for the relief and rehabilitation of the victims of similar natural calamities.  

Green buildings make good business sense

Green buildings make good business sense as any investment made in green buildings is paid back within 3-4 years.

By 2030, building stock in India is expected to reach 100 billion sq.ft., up from the existing 25 billion sq.ft. India has tremendous opportunity to go green and concerted effort by stakeholders is the need of the hour.

Green building projects

Green Buildings movement in India, with the support of all stakeholders is being spearheaded forward by the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC). The council is represented by stakeholders across the board of the Indian construction industry comprising of the government, corporate, nodal agencies, architects, designers, institutions, builders & developers, product manufacturers, suppliers, facility managers among other sector players.

As on date, India has over 2,085 registered green building projects amounting to over 1.43 billion sq.ft of green building area. It is among the top three countries in the world fully involved in spearheading the global green building movement. CII’s Indian Green Building Council envisions to cross 5 billion sq.ft. by 2015-2016.
