This document discusses the future of civil engineering in India from 2012 to 2020. It analyzes population growth trends and projections that India will become the most populated country by 2030. It also examines India's strong economic growth rate and projections that two-thirds of growth will be spent on developing physical infrastructure. The document then analyzes the demand and supply gap for core civil engineering professionals between 2010-2020, finding a large shortage. It discusses issues like skill gaps in the domestic workforce and inability to complete projects on time. Finally, it proposes remedies like industry-academia collaboration to improve competency and create motivated professionals through workshops, seminars and projects to meet the needs and opportunities in civil engineering by 2020.
