NDTV InfraShakti Awards Live: Vinayak Chatterjee On India's Sustainibility Index
Vinayak Chatterjee of Infravision Foundation said, "For policymakers, there are two suggestions I have - 

1. India is burderned with very large historical installations of infrastructure which are from colonial times- be it railway bridges or dams or tunnels. We should have a very strong inspection teams to keep that infrastrucrture in check so that railway bridges and dams don't collapse, cracks don't appear in hill towns such as Joshimath. 

2. India doesn't have a sustainable index. We at Infravision Foundation 
have developed a 102-point sustainablilty index. Policymakers should now use this index. We have been propogating it largely."
