Mysuru: Enjoining on builders to adopt advanced building technologies for the construction of houses for the underprivileged, Karnataka higher education minister GT Devegowda on Friday said, “The construction technology has witnessed the advent of many advanced technologies recently. “Private real estate companies took advantage of this situation, and improved their business. These should be used to construct homes for the poor and middle classes. Had government organisations worked efficiently, private real estate sector would not have recorded such profits,” said Devegowda.The minister pointed to the disturbing trend of private layouts proliferating around cities such as Bengaluru, despite many of these not being equipped with basic facilities including roads and drains. Such an endeavor will help the poor own a house of their own for a modest price.”Devegowda, who inaugurated a national seminar on ‘Build Tech: Smart Construction and Efficient Building Services’ organised by the Builders Association of India (BIA), Mysuru chapter at Senate Bhavan, expressed his disappointment with government organisations such as Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) and Mysuru Urban Development Authority (Muda) for their failure in using latest technologies..
