WHAT IS UDAAN 2015...? It is a mission that Rohanites from RBIPL have taken upon themselves!! The goal is set!! Rohanites of RBIPL are gunning for a turnover of of Rs. 1400 Cr., with a bottom-line of 10% in the year 2015. It is understood that the target cannot be achieved over night. But inch by inch we have to move towards it. As a first step we have resolved to focus on a Rs. 1000 Cr. turnover in the year 2012-2013. What is more important and note worthy is the way that all the colleagues have decided to achieve it. We are determined that we shall accomplish with more focus on 'how' rather than 'what'. We would be dedicating this year to building a rock solid foundation of knowledge, enhancing the systems and processes and plugging the crucial gaps. We understand that only this can make our efforts sustainable. One can expect to see a lot of training happening onsite as well as off site. Proper training calendars will be drawn and executed by the site in-charges with the help of HR. Many task forces have been formed to enhance the utilization of SAP in the organization, Budget Monitoring & Control, Site Audits, better systems in Execution and Billing etc. Here are some glimpses of the activities under Udaan 2015:

PIONEERS IN CIVIL ENGINEER Name: Kanuri Lakshmana Rao Dare of Birth: July 15, 1902 Place of Birth: Kankipadu, Krishna district, Andhra Pradesh. Life sketch: Mr. Rao was born in a middle class Brahmin family. His father was a village attorney. He lost his father when he was 9 years old. He lost vision in one eye due to injury during childhood days while playing at school. He studied Intermediate (+2) at Presidency College, Madras. He took his B.E. degree from Madras University and he was the first student from Madras University to obtain a Master's Degree in engineering. Later he took his Ph.D. in 1939 from the University of Birmingham in the U.K. Honors: In 1963, Rao was awarded "Padma Bhushan" by the president of India for his contribution in the areas of irrigation and power. He worked as president of Irrigation and Central board in 1960. He also worked as the president of All India Engineers Association in 1958-1960. He was awarded doctorate in science by Andhra University in 1960. He was also awarded doctorate by the Roorkee University in engineering in 1968. Career brief: He worked as a Professor in Rangoon in Burma. After completing PHD he worked as Assistant Professor in the U. K. He wrote a book called Structural Engineering and Reinforced Concrete. After returning to India, he worked as a design engineer for the Madras government. He held the post of Director (Designs) in Vidyut Commission-New Delhi in 1950. He was promoted as chief engineer in 1954. He is Father of India's Water Management and Agriculture. Because of Him only crores of Indians are getting food and farmers are surviving. He wrote autobiography "The cusecs candidate" Political career: He was elected as a member of parliament three times from Vijayawada constituency for the first time in 1961. On 20 July 1963, He was sworn in as a minister for Irrigation and Electricity in the union government. Under his regime as union minister for water resources, he designed many irrigation and hydro-electric projects. The world's longest earth dam on River Krishna in Nalgonda District, Andhra Pradesh is to his credit. He worked as union minister in Jawahar Lal Nehru, Lal Bahadur Sastry and Indira Gandhi's cabinet. In 2006, the Pulichintala project, at Bellamkonda of Guntur district, has been named as K. L. Rao Sagar project, the icon of the irrigation engineering fraternity in the country. This decision was announced by Chief Minister Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy at a meeting with senior officials here on 20 February 2006. He also met a cross-section of people and political leaders earlier in the day when he observed that the Pulichintala Project, which was contemplated in 1903 and for which foundation stones were laid in 1961 and 1988, was now fructifying as envisaged by Rao. He was the first one to do a complete survey and make proposal to link National Rivers in India but that could not be implemented. Dr. Kalyanaraman who started working on this project again in 2003 stated two reasons why the proposal made years ago by the late K.L. Rao to link the Ganges with the Cauvery failed to click. This was, he said, because there was no satisfactory answer to a question whether the Ganges had any surplus water to spare and secondly, the prohibitive cost of lifting water across the Vindhyas.

BAHRA I WORL N HOUSES D’S FIR ST WIND TURBIN INTEGRATE D ES
Bahrain houses for green future The Bahrain World Trade Center is the first tower in the world to be integrated with wind turbines to meet its power consumption. The trade center is rightly built elliptically to harness wind energy through its 3 huge turbines each of which has 29 meter diameter. Its location is apt as well, for there is no dearth of onshore winds blowing directly from the Gulf coast. The wind turbines are expected to generate 11 to 15% of the total power consumption of the towers.
