Core issues are deep rooted. They will need hard digging with concerted efforts.

While I was in Delhi for the exclusive interview with Mr Kamal Nath, I also dropped in at the office of the Construction Federation of India (CFI). I always do that whenever I am in Delhi. The past secretary general Mr SC Mehta is a wonderful man. Very learned and very insightful. He is still associated with CFI but in
an advisory role. The current secretray general Mr Siddharth Singh brings an equally no-nonsense approach to his office.
Having worked in the corridors of power, Mr Singh very well understands how bureacracy works and in just three months has put in a lot of efforts to understand the core issues of the construction industry in India. These issues - and I agree with him wholeheartedly - include Training, Contract Management, Finance, Taxation and Arbitration. Like I promised him, I would also like to assure the industry through this platform that Construction Week India will make every possible effort to highlight these core issues so that these are known, understood and comprehensively addressed by the people who can bring the change.
