NICMAR, one of India’s leading institutions for Construction, Real Estate, Infrastructure and Project Management education

By:  Dr Tapash Kumar Ganguli, Director-General, NICMAR

With record allocations across the board in the last Union Budget, India’s infrastructure growth is no longer constrained by capital but by the availability of industry-ready talent. Specialised education in construction, real estate, infrastructure and project management is critical to bridging the academia–industry gap. Targeted funding for advanced labs, digital tools, sustainability research and applied R&D can significantly strengthen execution capacity. The upcoming Budget offers a timely opportunity to reinforce this ecosystem through technology-led skilling and public-private collaboration.”
