Jagrati Jain, a fourth-year architecture student at Madhav Institute of Technology and Science (MITS) – Gwalior, bagged India’s best design award.
She has designed concept for Amaravathi Convention Centre, as a part of the ‘Birla White Yuvaratna’ competition announced last year. The award is most acclaimed Indian design award for the architectural fraternity, organized by Birla White every year.
Inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Design in India’ vision for building a beautiful India, the competition encourages young architects to push the boundaries of design and creativity. The annual design contest has received a huge response from students and architectural fraternity across India and Nepal. Over 2,000 drawing entries from 100 institutions have been received by Birla White.
“I was thrilled to hear my name and that of MITS being announced as the winner. This achievement has established the credentials of our institute as the center for academic excellence in architectural education in India. I would be delighted to see my concept on Amravati Convention Centre gets converted into a recognized infrastructure,” said Jagrati Jain.
The winners exhibited their projects at a final event held in Mumbai on March last week. They were felicitated by Rajashree Birla, Director board member at Aditya Birla Group companies, in the presence of eminent architects and construction professionals from across India.
