Rob Wagner on Saturday, 07 February 2009 For the past year there has been quite a bit of scepticism among the suits in the construction industry about the practicality of the much vaunted Masdar City. The city is supposed to be the be-all, end-all zero-carbon project that promises to revolutionise how cities are to run in an eco-friendly manner. As Construction Week Assistant Editor Jamie Stewart asks: Is Masdar City the beacon of progress or one big petri dish on a budget pumped with steroids? Or is it in the most modest terms the projects' publicists can conjure up: A giant leap for mankind. I've been inclined to fall on the side of the sceptics because, well, the goals seem a bit too lof...

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.
