The government of India spends nearly rupees two lakh core per annum on various infrastructure projects. Civil Engineers are national builders.

Speaking further he said there is a race for skyscrapers. With over 100 skyscrapers, Mumbai is still the city with the maximum number of skyscrapers in India. Mumbai alone accounts for 70% of skyscrapers in India. The good news is Hyderabad stands second. It accounts for about 8% of tall buildings in India.

Adding more on this Dr Ranga Rao of ACCEI said Hyderabad has all the reasons and potential to surpass Mumbai in the number of skyscrapers in the next five years. The city is going to have 100-plus tall buildings very soon, he added. And he gave reasons for the same.

Hyderabad has a stable and safe land as far as earthquakes are concerned. We have more land banks and construction is relatively cheaper here. Mumbai has the need, but there is no land. Hyderabad has land and aspirations. There is a demand too, he said.

Civil Engineers are national builders. We don’t have a good number of civil engineers. Civil Engineers are going to be new IAS Officers as their demand will be more and more and students are going for IT courses.

CH Narmada, Executive Committee Member, the female member and female civil engineer said Civil Engineering is good for women. Women are still seen as the ‘fragile gender’ by many people, but there are many examples that proved otherwise. It is a good career women can build she said.
