ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The successful and unique compilation of award-winning entries of
HUDCO Awards for Best Practices to Improve the Living Environment
2019-20 in a form of compendium has been possible with unparallel
efforts, unconditional support and valuable guidance of many officials at
HUDCO.

First and foremost, it is my pleasure and privilege to appreciate the
encouragement received from Mr. Kamran Rizvi, Additional Secretary,
MoHUA & CMD, HUDCO. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to him for inspiring all the
officials of HSMI. I am also grateful to Shri M Nagaraj, Director (Corporate Planning), HUDCO
for his priceless guidance and sincere encouragement shown to the HSMI team towards
successfully publishing the compendium. The great support provided by the Regional Offices of
HUDCO in disseminating the information on the awards and encouraging agencies to
participate is hereby recognized with gratitude. HSMI takes this opportunity to thank all the
Regional Chiefs and concerned officers posted at different Regional Offices for their
tremendous support to initiate participation and evaluation of entries for the awards.

The great response received from the participating organizations, institutes, NGOs, private
sector and other agencies can not be forgotten. The whole process was successful only because
they responded to our request for participation and they sent their entries for the awards in time-
bound manner. I thank all the officials and heads of organizations from participating
organizations.
Special thanks to Prof. Chetan Vaidya and all the eminent jury members of the awards who
devoted their valuable time and evaluated all the entries.

I sincerely acknowledge the smooth support from all the concerned officials and departments of
HSMI as well as Corporate Office including Administration, Finance, PR, to name a few.
Finally, the hard work and efforts of the Best Practices team of HSMI headed by Dr. Sukanya
Ghosh, Senior Fellow, HSMI deserve appreciation, without which it would not have been
possible to bring out this unique publication.
