To achieve this, appropriate actions are required at all fronts. This necessarily includes, among other measures, identification and selection of appropriate building materials and technologies to bring not only the economy but also quality, durability, speed with due care for safety and environment concern of the country.

On this occasion a publication titled “Building Materials and Housing Technologies for Sustainable Development” and a mobile app on “Bamboo Housing & Construction” was released by the minister. 

The Publication contains 38 papers covering various subjects with the theme of the National Seminar.  To coincide with the national seminar, an Exhibition on Emerging Building Materials and Construction Technologies showcasing various building products and construction technologies was also organized.
