Mri Ajeet K. Srivastava, Commissioner of NESTS, who inaugurated the workshop, emphasised the critical need for completing EMRS construction on time with emphasis on quality of construction.
“Non completion of good quality EMRS on time means tribal children not going to school which is unacceptable,” he said.
He exhorted the participants to take pledge that they would construct EMRS before time by ensuring best quality of construction.
Commitment to multifaceted development is evident in NESTS’ initiatives, including modern educational programs like the Amazon Future Engineering program and the organisation of a Principal’s Conclave focused on academic and administrative excellence.
This holistic approach underscores the importance of providing both high-quality infrastructure and advanced educational opportunities for tribal students.
The workshop covered essential technical aspects such as geotechnical investigations, material testing, earthwork, and the reinforcement of construction practices in tribal areas. Participants included civil engineers, project managers, and architects, all eager to share best practices and insights from the newly launched handbook titled “Building Quality Infrastructure for Tribal Education.”
