Just last year, Godrej Group's flagship company Godrej & Boyce conducted a survey which involved students from 22 architecture colleges in India. The title of the survey is Building Sustainable Future, Together.
The findings of the survey were that more than 46% of those who responded to the survey knew about technologies that would push green innovations; 54% had a lack of hands-on experience during their course and 25% of them were firm in their belief that the curriculum they are currently pursuing can help them develop sustainable projects.
