Mails _______________ “ Last year when the massive earthquake jolted the northern India, the discussion on health of our buildings started. Especially in Delhi where a majority of density populated houses are needed to be retrofitted. We can only pray that when a 5 Richter scale earthquake hits northern India and no major consequences occur. Akhilendra Solanki, New Delhi With slowdown in construction industry, it has become quite difficult for freshly graduated civil engineer to fuse into mainstream market. Companies want experience of at least 2-3 years or else the pay is less than a mason earns. I am amused at the statics claiming shortage of engineers in the market. Dr. Rajendra Kumar, Mumbai Best of luck for you upcoming magazine. Hope there is something for everyone. Eagerly waiting for the first edition. Ketan Yadav, Etawa ” This is to me one of a kind initiative. Can’t say much before I actually go through your magazine. It looks promising as far the concept of magazine is concerned. Piyush AA Singh, Patna Best wishes for the upcoming edition. As a teaching fraternity it is very demoralizing to see negligible placement drives by the industries in Civil Engineering. This has made a perception of exam oriented degree achievement and students are no more morally motivated to be innovative and learning. This is a risk for industries in coming years. R.Rama, Chennai The entire nation is divided into two sects about the development of Bullet Train in India. Every argument should be settled on technical basis. Over politicizing is dangerous for our country’s growth. Azim Khan, Gorakhpur E-MAIL YOUR LETTERS TO: [email protected] OR LOG ON TO www.discovercivil.com Eagerly waiting for the first edition of this magazine since I found the concept of the magazine amazing.
