This moment is especially meaningful as it aligns with the vision of promoting green and sustainable roads through the effective utilization of industrial waste like steel slag. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to NITI Aayog, the Ministry of Steel, and leading industry partners including AMNS India, JSW Steel, Tata Steel, Jindal Steel Ltd., Arjas Steel, and RINL for their valuable collaboration and support. Their contribution has been instrumental in transforming waste into wealth and driving innovation in infrastructure development. I also extend my thanks to the respected jury members for recognizing this impactful initiative, which continues to inspire us towards building a more sustainable and future-ready nation.
