Nurturing Future Leaders of Indian Construction Industry

There is a big gap in meeting industry demand through formal skill training programs for construction workmen and practical training for students pursuing engineering courses. This status quo can be changed by replicating successful global models in India with the industry’s and academia’s collective efforts.

During a conference held at DFII 2022 jointly with IIT Tirupati, its director Dr K N Satyanarayana appealed to the construction industry leaders to consider better pay packets to attract more students into the civil engineering line. Because of the lure of better entry level salaries in other industries, most students of IIT, and high-ranking academic institutes like NIT and premier private engineering colleges, skip job offers related to core civil engineering.
