The building, construction and real estate industry currently absorbs roughly 68 million people, of whom more than 90 per cent are deployed in building construction; and over 80 per cent of those employed in building and construction are minimally skilled. To cut its losses from a yawning skill gap, India’s biggest employer needs the government and industry to act, as CW explores who should do what in its April edition. Further, read on about the impact of COVID-19 on the construction and infrastructure sector. This edition also features industry stories on Scaffolding & Formwork and Roofing & Cladding. Whats more, in this edition, we introduce a brand new column on Constructioneering - featuring an exclusive interview with the MD of Black & Veatch  India.     Furthermore, the exclusive CW DESIGN BUILD section of the magazine discusses creative functionality as the mantra for ceiling and flooring design, with consumers demanding aesthetic products that are high on quality, eco-friendly, affordable, and easy to install and maintain. Also read on recommendations for development of greenfield townships, and an exclusive interview with Sanjay Dutt, MD & CEO, Tata Realty and Infrastructure. Happy reading!
