Actually, we did a ROI study based more on USGBC standards and found that the payback period on most commercial buildings are between 2 to 5 years, if LEED and sustainable concepts are incorporated from the ground up. I will try to dig up and...

GREEN CITIES : ‘India should not imitate the West’ ! By 2050, three-quarters of humanity will be staying in cities. With global warming threatening the world, building eco-friendly ‘green cities’ has become a challenge for urban planners and architects. Dietmar Eberle from the Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), Zurich, has made important contributions in this arena, designing innovative buildings in several European and Chinese cities. He discussed these issues with Subodh Varma : Education is the primary and essential prerequisite. Once the feelings, desires and knowledge of people are oriented towards bringing about a change in the way we have lived so far, then the means for building...

My salutes to Mr Narayana Murthy and Mr Mashelkar! Today in Economic Times the brain storming article having same heading made me really excited and highly hopeful towards future of application of researches in science and technology in commercial field.As in my whole career I felt that its lagging too much in our country (except southern parts of India).Whatever researches are going on in big government institutes remain in journals and proceedings of seminars.Very few come up in application.While crores of rupees are spent every year by many funding sectors viz; UGC,CSIR,DBT and many more. Today after reading views of Mr Narayan Murthy and Mr Mashelkar I felt really supportive from their side as I have requested in many seminars and meetings about this innovation. Mr Narayan Murthy: What we really require is science,technology and innovation policy.Innovation is mind to market,concept to commercialisation.In the rest of the world you see that is happening. Mr Mashelkar: Human...

I have been observing and hearing from many about the degradation of standards in the teaching staff who serve in public sector schools and government colleges. There exist exceptions and there may be a good staff and a very very intelligent with excellent track record could have opted for teaching in a government school or college. But, the fact remains that the quality of education in public sector schools and colleges, is drastically fallen and many may agree with me on this issue. Its really a very very important issue and if we fail to address this, then, our development itself will get hampered in future and the dream of India as a leader in "R D" may not come true at all. In India, we have public and private participation in education sector and education is not a business technically though many may say that education has become a very profitable business now a days. Private sector is doing well in education sector as they are results oriented, concentrate on their name,...
