DESCRIPTION:SUSTAINABILITY: PRACTICE IN INDIA\n\n11 years of my work and li
 fe in India after retirement from Morgan. Establishment of Environment Cent
 er for Art and Craft at Nadigram Ashram where I reside. Environment\nCentre
  for Arts and Design\, known as ECAD\, has been born out of one of Nandigra
 m’s aspirations to promote sustainable way of life. Considering the fascina
 tion with the technology\, new building materials and construction methodol
 ogies\, the traditional regional art and craft\, historically a usable skil
 l\, for too long in recent past\, has been put on a back burner and or is a
 vailable to privileged few. It needs to be brought back into the mainstream
  of livelihood. ECAD centre will strive to combine new technology with art 
 and craft to bring about a new way to look at what is most expedient for su
 stainable practices.\n\nBIO\nParekh obtained his Bachelor of Architecture f
