Dear Friends,

We have been having quite a number of events over the past few weeks covering a large number of interesting and topical subjects and we thank you for your regular participation. I'm pleased to inform that we shall soon be hosting a Workshop on WBHIRA with Government representatives that shall serve as a vibrant platform for members for interaction on the subject.We shall be announcing the date of the event soon.

With 'clean air' a rarity in the city, it has become imperative for everyone to do his/her bit to contribute to a pollution free environment. It is known that construction activities also add to air-pollution, hence all our members' projects adhere to guidielines to prevent the same. CREDAI Bengal is planning to collaborate with 'Kolkata Clean Air' to host an event to combat the growing concern of Kolkata's air quality due to unplanned urbanisation, traffic, construction, burning of waste etc. Akin to their motto, this event too will aim to build grassroots and policy level awareness and action.

There are a number of issues around which we are in constant dialogue with the State Government. Towards this, we perpetually require data and feedback from members to submit to the Government Departments and Agencies. There are also a number of proposals and recommendations submitted by CREDAI Naional to the Central Government for which they often take our inputs. I would request all my fellow members to be more active when it comes to submitting feedback and data for these issues as our inputs help create the basis of these recommendations. Policy changes help in our businesses and these are being done for the welfare of our industry, so request you to kindly give more timely inputs and suggestions whenever sought.

The dates of two of our big calendar events have been finalised. We are organising our annual exhibition 'Home Front 2019' on the 13th, 14th and 15th of December at Netaji Indoor Stadium and our annual state conference 'Statecon 2019' will be hosted on the 22nd of November at the Hyatt Regency, Kolkata. These are big events, so hoping for your participation and cooperation as usual. More details in the coming month.

Warm Regards,Nandu Belani

CREDAI Bengal organized a Workshop on 'Water Efficiency and Management in Real Estate' to discuss the need for implementing a proper water policy in the real estate industry in West Bengal in tandem with the state Government and other agencies, thereby attempting to put in place a plan to conserve water and implement its scientific usage in the real estate industry. The real estate industry amongst many other industries is a high consumer of water and hence there is an urgent need to draft a proper policy framework in the building sector by monitoring and controlling water usages across sites. The two-hour workshop deliberated on the possibilities of reducing water consumption by 40 to 50%, water recycling, re-use of water, rainwater harvesting, landscaping with native species, water management systems, composting toilets, waterless urinals etc. A presentation was made by Mr M Selvarasu on ways to inculcate the 'energy-water-food nexus' and a panel discussion ensued thereafter.

Delegates of CREDAI Bengal, CREDAI Howrah-Hooghly and CREDAI North Bengal participated in CREDAI NATCON 2019 at Tel Aviv, Israel. Billed as the largest CREDAI NATCON, with over 1200 delegates participating, NATCON 2019's theme 'Resilence to Excellence' reveberated with the resolve and technological prowess of Israel with curated sessions woven around the the same.A special message by Mr Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, was also broadcast to the visiting Indian real estate developers during the Inaugural Session. 45 delegates traveled from West Bengal to Tel Aviv for the 19th Natcon.

The first Real Estate Dialogue (RED) session was organised by the CREDAI Bengal Youth Wing on 10th August 2019 with industry stalwart, Padma Shri Mr.Harshavardhan Neotia of Ambuja-Neotia Group. The Session was peppered by great insights from Mr Neotia’s personal life and business career and focused on his journey in real estate and outside its realm.

CESC organised an interaction with CREDAI Bengal wherein their senior leadership focused on Electric Vehicles (EV) and Electric Cooking, urging our members to implement the construction of EV charging stations across real estate developments. CREDAI Bengal endorsed the initiative as EV-s are zero-emission and will help clean up the city's air. Mr Nandu Belani, President, CREDAI Bengal says, " We too believe buildings should provide built-in infrastructure to charge EV-s. What we have to see is whether we should bunch the points in a common parking area where a cluster of EV-s can be charged overnight on a pay-per-charge-basis or provide separate charging points at individual parking spaces".
