The initiative encourages developers to go beyond basic compliance by providing safer, cleaner and healthier living environments for construction workers and their families.
Speaking about the event, Mr. Manish Jain, President, CREDAI Pune, said, “Building a house is different from building a city. Every project contributes to shaping Pune’s future and the quality of its neighbourhoods. This responsibility begins with everyone on site, from construction workers to developers. Initiatives that recognise and reward workers encourage better workmanship, quality and pride in their work. I congratulate all the winners and organisers for recognising the people who play a vital role in building our homes and our city.”
Shri J.P. Shroff, Vice President emphasized that promoting safe, hygienic, and sustainable labor camps is essential to recognizing construction workers’ contributions, underscoring a collective responsibility to ensure their well-being, dignity, and living conditions. Shri. Milind Talathi, Convenor, Labour Welfare Committee further added, that “A beautiful house is built with bricks and cement, but a better future is built through environmental responsibility, hygiene and care for people.”
Shri Prataprao Jadhav, Hon’ble Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Ministry of Ayush and Minister of State, Health and Family Welfare, said, “Construction workers are the true architects of our nation’s progress. Every road, bridge, and building stands as a living testament to their skill, grit, and dedication. True recognition, however, must extend beyond the job site—it requires safeguarding their well-being, dignity, and family welfare. Initiatives like this are vital to providing safer working environments, better healthcare, and humane living conditions. Investing in our workforce does not merely strengthen the construction industry; it fortifies the very foundation of a developed India. I commend CREDAI Pune for championing this cause and honoring the individuals who turn our national vision into reality.”
Shri Rajesh Shah, Director, Jairaj Group, Pune, said, “Health and well-being are essential to building a stronger and more inclusive society. The efforts of government authorities, healthcare institutions and community stakeholders play a pivotal role in ensuring that healthcare reaches people who need it most. It is important to work together to strengthen healthcare services, raise awareness and make quality healthcare more accessible to all. With a shared commitment and continued collaboration, we can create a healthier future for our communities and improve the quality of life for people across the country.”
