<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">National Institute of Construction Management and Research (NICMAR) University, is one of the prime universities streamlining Engineering Technology and Management. The vision of the institute is to serve society by promoting sustainability, embrace enterprising values and produce industry ready professionals for the built environment.&nbsp; My expertise aligns with promoting sustainability and producing industry ready professionals for the built environment and serving mankind.&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">My Ph.D. Thesis was supervised by Prof. R.V. Ralegaonkar (Professor, VNIT Nagpur). My thesis focussed on creating jobs through the use of locally available semi-biowaste from industries to produce sustainable and low thermal conductivity bricks with minimum expenditure for the infrastructure to produce bricks which are eco-friendly and energy saving. The solution was helpful for the society by creating employment through the use of locally available materials for the brick production.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Further, I have extended my work in the field of climate change and disaster resilient infrastructure. For that I have collaborated with the National Institute of Disaster Management (NIDM), New Delhi. From this collaborative effort with the High-CAP Project funded by World Bank, I have published a paper which is innovative because it is the first research paper which has amalgamated sustainable strategies and Disaster mitigation strategies in the development of Green Rating Tool for the assessment of Highways on its Green Road Approach. As well as, further I have channelized my collaborative work with IIT Roorkee, GNEC, Greater Noida, where I have taken my work of developing a Green Rating Tool for Highways more in detail.&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">I feel Civil Engineering is a field which plays a critical role in reinforcing our society in the challenging times of disasters like floods, landslides, draughts etc apart from eco-friendly construction. Current society is facing these challenges annually. And I feel the major focus has to be towards addressing disasters through resilient infrastructure. Because, due to the disasters the Indian economy is facing a setback annually by spending a fortune in rebuilding our infrastructure and reinstating human life. Channelizing the focus of Engineering students towards the disasters to make our Indian society happy and peaceful is my aim. The prestigious institute NICMAR provides me the platform to achieve my aim of disaster resilient India which is also the aim of the institute to provide market ready professionals who are capable of understanding the needs of the society from the resilient infrastructure paradigm.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The vision is to establish Tinkering Lab for the of Sustainable Entrepreneurship&nbsp;Culture among the students who wish to secure their future in the start-up companies. Throughout my teaching experience I have understood that students of engineering background need to be more visionary and focussed towards creating jobs through entrepreneurship&nbsp;culture apart from traditional job securing strategies.&nbsp;This will also help engineering students to channelize their aim towards MAKE IN INDIA Projects and Self- Reliant India Projects.&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">With this hope of achieving my aim of a peaceful society and a happy society, I would like to be a part of NICMAR University. And I can assure that my moral ethics and professional ethics will make my addition to the institute as a valuable member.&nbsp;</p>
