    The jury of the 10th CIDC Vishwakarma Awards consists of the most prominent bureaucrats and officials of the Indian Construction Industry, who have selected these awardees on the basis of their work history, public and private parties’ suggestions, and more.

    The CIDC has also announced the list of the recipients of the Partners in Progress Trophy, which is a token appreciation to honour organisations that have been CIDC’s partners in progress. These are the organizations and companies who have shown their utmost commitment to create a vibrant work environment in the construction industry.
