<p data-start="0" data-end="425">I wish to join <span class="hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline">NICMAR University, Pune</span> because of its strong reputation in Construction, Real Estate, Infrastructure, and Project Management education and its unique integration of industry and academia. As a Civil Engineer with an M.Plan in Housing and a PhD in Construction Technology and Management (specializing in workforce management), my academic background closely aligns with NICMAR&rsquo;s core focus areas.</p>
<p data-start="427" data-end="905">My doctoral research centers on workforce productivity, employee well-being, retention, and strategic HR practices in construction projects and issues that are critical to improving project performance and organizational efficiency in today&rsquo;s construction industry. NICMAR&rsquo;s emphasis on Construction Technology &amp; Management and Project &amp; Construction Management provides an ideal platform where my expertise can directly contribute to teaching, research, and industry collaboration. I am particularly attracted to NICMAR&rsquo;s practice-oriented curriculum and strong industry linkages. I believe construction education must address real-world challenges such as labor management, safety, sustainability, and productivity enhancement. My research offers practical frameworks that can enrich classroom learning through case-based discussions, applied research projects, and consultancy engagement.</p>
<p data-start="907" data-end="1315">Furthermore, NICMAR&rsquo;s commitment to research, innovation, and faculty development aligns with my goal of advancing scholarly work in workforce optimization and sustainable construction management. I am eager to mentor students, supervise research, and contribute to strengthening academia&ndash;industry partnerships. Overall, NICMAR represents an institution where I can meaningfully contribute to developing future construction leaders while continuing to grow as a researcher and academic professional.</p>
