"By disregarding the standard
chemical and physical requirements for use of fly ash in cement and concrete
industry, the authors found that tailor-made blends of even non standard
fly ashes with lime and gypsum or with Portland cement produced adequate
strength on normal curing. With hundreds of small units in operation and
hundreds more on the way, it is obvious that this type of entrepreneurship
is vital for making a dent in the fly ash disposal problem while conserving
energy and top soil, which are the base materials used in the manufacture
of fired-clay bricks."

technological marvels of the century in the field of construction to answer
the multiple needs of the globe on ecological warfare. The product is
strong, durable and is cost effective. What more is expected for a technology
to be successful!"

"I am sure, the 'National
Workshop on low cost technology for fly ash' organised to propagate the
technological marvel the 'FaL-G' will achieve its objectives and contribute
to involving various agencies and other people connected with the housing
activity in making the cost of housing cheaper. I hope, this will also
contribute to the success of the National Housing Policy of the Government".

"In India, we have very
belatedly realised the importance of recovering valuable resources from
'so called' waste products from our industries and urban settlements.
In this context I am very happy to note that your company has succeeded
in developing indigenous technology for utilising fly ash".

"Fly ash is one of the
industrial byproducts, which needs to be effectively used in construction
activities. Andhra Pradesh generates nearly 10% of the total fly ash in
the country and thus, it is imperative to work out a meaningful strategy
in this regard. In order to ensure this, orders were issued by the government
for a gradual switch over to pozzolana/slag cement in the construction
activities taken up through different government departments. This is
to be viewed in the perspective of our endeavor for achieving sustainable
development and environmental protection".

for bringing out the valuable publication 'Fly ash for Sustainable Development'
which is of international standard. The publication is interesting and
useful for the Indian construction industry".
