Less than 5% of buildings in India are Green Certified till date. India is undergoing rapid urbanisation and the urban population is set to rise from 33% of India's population to 52% by 2030. This will obviously put a lot of strain on our natural resources. Green and dco-Friendly Movement (GdM) is a great opportunity to create awareness about sustainable development and ASSOCHAM being the apex chamber can do it in a most efficient way. Pankaj R. Dharkar, Chairman, National Council for Green & Eco-friendly Movement (CGEM)

India is undergoing through a construction boom, but this must not be at the cost of the environment. By launching the GdM Sustainability Certification Program, ASSOCHAM is creating a platform for all the stakeholders where they can come and join hands in making our earth worth living. We are sure that ASSOCHAM will run the programme in the most efficient way and will regularly observe the trends of building construction industry in the country.Vishal tapur, National Past President, Indian Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ISHRAE)

P, National President, Fire & Security Association of India (FSAI)
