Sadhguru, Founder, Isha Foundation,", told builders in a webinar organized by CREDAI- MCHI and NAREDCO that without high quality people, there is no high-quality nation
From being just a builder, you must become a Nation builder. Rejig yourself to leverage new investment opportunities that will come India’s way with some companies deciding to wholly or partially shut down their China operations.
Unless we spread the investment and in turn the development, there is no way the cities of the world can stop migration or offer quality of life to its residents. The realty industry can change its relationship with migrant labourers by offering them better healthcare, accommodation, livelihood security and other facilities to encourage them to return to cities.
It is estimated that up to 78% of investments are concentrated in 32 cities around the world. ‘One Building City’ is a concept of a vertical complex with residential blocks, office blocks, schools, healthcare and entertainment facilities contained in a single building with the land around it left free and forested.
Let’s say we take a 50-acre plot and build on one acre up to 100 floors; 49 acres of land, you just make it into trees, ponds, walking spaces, a beautiful atmosphere like a forest so people will get to live in a verdant atmosphere. The self-contained unit will generate no waste as everything can be managed within the complex. This can significantly improve living standards in villages and cities because more than half of India’s population is now living in dehumanizing conditions in slums and shacks,
It is very important that building and ecology must be friendly to each other. One of the answers may be vertical growth so that rainwater can “get soaked into the city” through soil. “If you take care of the soil, water is naturally taken care of. Vertical buildings (with foliage around it) will make our cities liveable.
Education system which plays an integral role in shaping future citizens needs a radical overhaul. Education as information is out. Information is available everywhere. Education as inspiration, education as innovation, education as insight is what is meaningful now. This is the only way to “explore human genius”.
