Pune, 4 April 2021: Sunil Furde was unanimously appointed as the Confederation of Real Estate Developers Associations of India (CREDAI) Maharashtra President in a “Change of Guard” General Assembly organized on the digital platform due to pandemic situation.
“The safety of construction workers has always been a priority for CREDAI. Hence looking at the second wave of Corona, CREDAI will soon launch a special vaccination campaign for construction workers. Under this, CREDAI-Maharashtra aims to provide Covid-19 preventive vaccine to 10 lakh registered construction workers in the state in a phase-wise manner, free of cost, announced Furde.

On the occasion, he announced the concept ‘RED’- Real Estate Developers Talks to be organized every month.
Furde further said that “the construction sector is the second-largest employer in the country. Many organized, unorganized labourers who have settled in the state for subsistence depend on the construction sector. As the number of such workers is higher in Maharashtra as compared to other states, this vaccination campaign will be implemented across the state with CREDAI-Maharashtra as a priority.
