Arun Shourie pledges Rs 11 crore to IIT-K

Mr. Arun Shourie(a BJP MP) , i admire him. He, unlike most politicians in India, has a great vision and his doings make a lot of sense.

During his last term at the Parliament, He invested his MPLAD grant of 11 crore for BSBE here. Now, he has donated it to Environmental Engineering. Env Eng., needs a bad push in India and this is a good step in this direction.

A ‘Green Building’ will be constructed at the institute for the Environmental Sciences.

The building will be built applying the principles of the latest construction technology which provide natural cooling and warming effects by planting special species of trees around the structure and the green methodology of constructing the controlled temperature walls.

This is not to say using MPLAD money to build a road, bus shelter are less-worthy....Someone should have the audacity to think big too.
