The importance of the engineering profession in nation building has been appreciated by all the leaders in the country and the govt. is also focusing on creation of world class infrastructure in the country but the engineering professionals in premier engineering organizations like CPWD are suffering because of apathy shown by the govt. towards their genuine aspirations. It would be appreciated that if the Govt. has to attract bright engineers and architects in its fold it has to offer them prospects better than what they may expect in the private domain or in other non technical services. These will not only be in terms of pay but also in terms of recognition of service and reward by ensuring timely promotions. We have noted, with concern, that young engineers have started migrating to the private domain as it offers better remuneration and perks and there is tremendous shortage of experienced engineers in the country. In case the Govt. does not take steps now to redress the genuine aspirations of engineers this trend could intensify and cause irreparable loss
