dc.description.abstractIndia wants to keep up the GDP growth rate to boost the economy of the country. Though late but the Government has realized the importance of infrastructure for sustained economic development. There is acute urgency to create matching world class infrastructure to boost the economic growth. The core foundation of this entire infrastructure is always provided by the civil engineers. But ironically, this sector is aging, worrying about shortage of well-qualified professionals and managers, and suffering with bad publicity in the minds of the new generation. Hence, the basic question is that if our Civil Engineering (CE) profession is ready to cope up with the requirements of the construction industry. In this new millennium, the challenges are big for civil engineers which will also bring more opportunities for them. In recent future, the present and growing population will demand more water, more power, waste disposal, more shelter and transportation infrastructure. Hence without looking back with our failures to attract bright students to Civil Engineering (CE) profession, we should devise the methodology to create awareness, develop strategy to attract and retain them and provide proper curriculum to enhance this field. The basic concerns of the profession are like tag of corruption poor public image, low recognition, losing quality students to other branches of engineering, shortage of good quality graduates, low cost approach in the profession, pressure of low salary, lack of job security, low-tech profile career etc. Hence, the aim of this dissertation is to find out the reasons for these concerns and suggest measures required to be undertaken by the stakeholders in the construction industry. The analysis of primary and secondary data has been carried out to suggest the strategies to Government and other stakeholders. Based on these strategies, the suggestive action plans have been formulated for implementation by respective stakeholders.
