Avinash Patil expressed the opinion that more and more skilled manpower is available to implement the green building concept, for that, it is necessary to develop and train skilled manpower who has knowledge and care for the environment.
He said, ‘Through today’s Satsang Synergy program, if the organizations working on various fronts in the construction sector brainstorm well and create a good actionable plan, the construction sector will get a new environmentally complementary direction of work,’ Avinash Patil also expressed his opinion.
Pradeep Bhargava said, ‘The construction sector in Pune city is increasing in a big way, and many builders are doing constructions that are mostly environmentally friendly , but there is a need to build more natural resources,’ said Bhargava. ‘Use Nature Butt’ Bhargava also said that using the concept of ‘Not Abuse Nature’, i.e. using nature in the construction sector to raise our standard of living without destroying the nature or harming the nature, is an appeal to the construction sector .
