CONCERN for ever growing requirements of housing and infrastructure leading to exponentially rising demand and severe shortages of cost-effective building materials.

CAPITAL intensive advanced technology based manufacturing methods are not generally feasible to meet the need of building materials.
![Page 4: Setting up the Agenda National Conference on “Affordable Housing for All” June 2, 2007, Mumbai Session: Innovative Technologies Dr. H.S. Anand Secretary](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56649e6b5503460f94b6a1a6/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
A STRONG OPTION to meet the rising demand of building materials is to develop and promote innovative composite materials based on local resources and wastes from industry, forestry, agriculture, etc.

THE MATERIALS produced from wastes, by-products, residues, natural fibres and plant materials are environment friendly and energy efficient.

BESIDES being cost-effective, industrial production of composite materials from local resources would help in environmental protection and conservation of energy.
