Raising the bar of real estate awards, developers’ apex body CREDAI has felicitated the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI)with the Best Maintained National Monument award for their maintenance of the historic Fatehpur Sikri.

At a star-studded and glittering award function held recently in Mumbai CREDAI also honoured the doyen of real estate, Mr. Shantilal Muttha, Chairman and Managing Director of Muttha Group of Companies, for his outstanding contribution to the real estate sector.

A relic of the Mughal era, Fatehpur Sikri stands out for irs archaeological beauty and even today its monuments inspire architects, engineers and developers and ASI is doing a wonderful job in maintaining its awe inspiring beauty even after 400years.

CREDAI said ASI has done India proud.

Felicitating Mr.Muttha, CREDAI has noted that the doyen has built an empire both in the world of real estate and social development from virtually nothing over his tireless three decade-long service. Revamping the business strategy with changing times and market dynamics has been the quintessential success formula for Mr.Muttha’s ventures not only in the real estate sector but also in the realm of social development.

Mr. Mutthaholds the unique distinction of being the one developer to have resolved to devote his active time towards philanthropic activities right from the young age of 30, skilfully combining his business and social work schedules.

Commenting on the significance of the awards Mr Lalit Kumar Jain, National President ofCREDAI said: “As the real estate industry grows to meet the ever increasing demand, we at CREDAI feel it is essential to raise the standards to meet the needs of discerning customers. The CREDAI awards are aimed at instilling a sense of competition among the developer community and reward excellence, apart from setting benchmarks in construction and designs. We are happy that we have received a record number of entries for this year’s awards that reflects the credibility of the event.”
