CONSTRO is a mega-exhibition on education and awareness about latest construction technologies, machinery and innovations. It is the largest of it's kind in the country and organised biannually by the PUNE CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING RESEARCH FOUNDATION (PCERF). BNCA has been a supporting partner to PCERF for all it's events for many years now. Prof. Kavita Murugkar, senior faculty at BNCA is an active member at PCERF and has been invited as the convenor of the series of seminars organised under the aegis of PCERF.
This year, she has taken initiative to work towards making CONSTRO universally accessible. Since CONSTRO is visited by thousands of citizens, it is necessary that it incorporates barrier free design to also enable disabled groups to take advantage of this event.
She made a presentation to all the organising members titled
EDUCATION THROUGH EXHIBITION FOR ALL.
With support from the Exhibition layout and infrastructure team, and with suggestions from Prof.Kavita Murugkar, this years CONSTRO was made more accessible and people friendly.
Simple exhibition layout, ramps alongside steps, levelled pathways, colour contrast to distinguish different areas, accessible toilets and a disaster management plan were some important aspects incorporated in this exhibition this year.
