Page 11 - HUDCO DESIGN AWARDS

This year, these awards have special meaning as they form part of HUDCO’s Golden Jubilee celebrations.
In view of this, HUDCO Design awards are specially dedicated to HUDCO’s former Chairman and
Managing Director, Shri S.K. Sharma , IAS, who played a big role in shaping HUDCO as an institution of

excellence and who cared deeply about the urban design and environment. The India Habitat centre, a
unique institution in its concept and design, is a testimony to his vision and commitment towards the
Habitat sector.

This year’s HUDCO Design awards received an excellent response from all over the country. The entries
were evaluated by an experienced and professional jury, and the award entries were selected based on

creativity, innovation and sensitivity in design. I congratulate all those who were awarded, and appreciate
the efforts of all the designers, architects, planners, engineers and landscape architects who sent in their
entries and who put in considerable hard work and effort into their projects.

The publication of winning entries in the form of a compendium every year is an attempt to document
and widely disseminate the excellent work being done by the design professionals at habitat level. I

commend HUDCO employees who worked hard to produce this compendium at a short notice this year. I
hope these prestigious projects will continue to receive excellent participation in the future as well.
