Election of BNCA Professors to the Committee of Energy and Environment of Promoters and Builders Association of Pune (PBAP)

Report on the General Body Meeting and discussions for this position

Promoters and Builders Association of Pune (PBAP) is a consortium of Builders and Developers in Pune, with a strength of about 150 members operating their businesses in the larger Pune metropolitan area, including Pimpri-Chinchwad and such fringe areas.

This body has various committees formed under its umbrella to promote and provide assistance to its members at various levels and in different new and emerging arenas of development. One such committee is Energy and Environment, headed by Mr. Sanjay Deshpande. Although memberships to these committees were restricted to PBAP members, PBAP has granted permission to the Energy and Environment Committee to take on board experts in the area of Eco Housing and Environmental Planning.

With this as the background, PBAP chose to invite Prof Poorva Keskar and Prof Anagha Paranjape-Purohit to its Committee for Energy and Environment. A General Body meeting was conducted on March 24, 2007 where approval for the two invitee members was granted.
