Development of Soft Skills – CULTURAL PROGRAM BY STUDENTS AT VISHWAKARMA EKADASH (Odisha) All round development of our trainees remains a priority in CIDC’s training programs. After a gruelling day at the Training Centres and Sites, trainees need to unwind and relax.

To channelise such energies, CIDC encourages trainees to express themselves through other skills gathered by them. The cultural evening, organised by the student themselves with support of CIDC, personnel showed up the remarkably rich cultural heritage of Odisha and the deep extent to which its citizens have imbibed

it. A flowery welcome to guests, Songs, Drama, Bhajans and Dancing in traditional costumes were the highlights of the program. CIDC is lucky to have such a talented group of trainees in its first batch in Odisha. The event ended with recognition of talent by distribution of prizes and certificates to participants.

Signing of Memorandum of Cooperation: CIDC signed Memorandum of Cooperation with Singhania University, Pacheri Bari (Distt. Jhujhunu, Rajasthan) and Mewar University, Chittorgarh (Rajasthan). Objectives of these Memorandums of Cooperation are to enhance industry academia interaction for the modification in the working dynamics of the academic and R&D activities, and to bring in the functioning in consonance with the needs and requirements of the industry.

Constitution of CIDC Alumni Association

CIDC, on request of the students of various CIDC programmes to facilitate the formation of Alumni Association, has initiated the process of constituting alumni association.

Construction Quality Assurance & Control is vitally important to ensure that the infrastructure we develop lasts in perfect condition throughout its designed life. To achieve the objective, it is essential that appropriate quality management mechanism, based on standards and specifications, is developed, implemented and maintained to avoid any inefficiency that could result in poor construction quality. And enforcement of the quality management mechanism requires deployment of technically well equipped and competent workforce. Therefore, assessment of the competence of the workforce meeting the technical requirements necessary for the execution of work is crucial. The Quality Assurance & Quality Control programmes, being conducted for the Engineers and Supervisors of Simplex Infrastructures Limited, are structured to meet such requirements of the industry. Competence of the professionals is assessed through assignments, Term‐end examination, major project and appearance before a Grand Jury. As part of the evaluation process internal quiz on the topic “construction quality assurance and control” was conducted. Following professionals of Simplex Infrastructures Limited topped the list in the Quiz;

Mr. Sachin Choudhary, Rank: 1

Mr. Dharmendra Singh Dhawan, Rank: 2

The report helps identify consistent achievers on certain parameters, such as revenue growth, success & failures, challenges faced, the accelerators and the extent and nature of support the construction industry requires for accelerating towards high performance. This year, Accenture launched a report on “Achieving High Performance in the Construction and Infrastructure Industry” in partnership with CIDC (Construction Industry Development Council) and The Economic Times (ET Now) on 11th July 2012 at Hotel Oberoi, New Delhi. The report identifies some of the road blocks and brings out the key enablers that drive an entity towards high performance.
