Role of Surveying in Planning and Construction of Amaravathi

NATIONAL SURVEY DAY – 2016 
The Vijayawada Local Center of the Institution of Engineers (India) organized National Survey Day – 2016 at its premises on Monday, the 11th April, 2016 at 18.30 hrs. Er. V Gopal, FIE invited the dignitaries on to the dais while Er.Butta Rajasekhar,MIE introduced the speaker Prof.Kodali Srinivas FIE, to the audience. 
Dr. M Kamaraju, FIE, Chairman of the center presided over the meeting. 
The speaker Prof. Kodali Srinivas, Professor of Civil Engineering Department, Kallam Harinatha Reddy Institute of Engineering & Technology, Guntur while delivering on the topic  with Power Point Presentation said that the planning and design of all Civil Engineering projects such as construction of Towns, cites, highways, Water ways, bridges, tunnels, dams etc are based upon surveying measurements. 

Moreover, during execution, project of any magnitude is constructed along the lines and points established by surveying. Thus, surveying is a basic requirement for all Civil Engineering projects. 
Here we have a lifetime opportunity to participate in planning and construction of new City Amaravati, the People's capital of Andhra Pradesh. It is envisioned to be a city of world-class standards with a vision of increasing Andhra Pradesh’s prominence in the world. 
It will be developed as smart, Blue-Green and sustainable city. The Capital has to provide cutting-edge infrastructure, comfortable livelihood and immense prosperity for the People of Andhra Pradesh and Amaravati. 
To achieve all the objectives in planning and construction of Amaravati, the surveying along with our traditional vaasthu have significance role. He extensively quoted so many examples of town planning principles from ancient Vasthu Test books. 
He advised A.P. State Govt. to follow a uniform Vaasthu principles throughout the planning and construction of Government offices as well as private buildings. 
The planning should not be altered in future by the so called vaasthu advisers/ siddhanthi's for their will and wish. 
To make convenience to the people it is advisable to fix a permanent north point and Bench mark at every zone of the Amaravathi City. Alignment of roads and buildings are strictly based on this North Point. 
At the end of seminar a memento was presented to the speaker Prof.Kodali by Prof. K Ravindra Rao FIE. and Vote of thanks was proposed by Er. G.V Srinivasulu,MIE, Hon. Secretary of local center.

Civil Engineering - Introduction

Considered as one of the oldest engineering disciplines, Civil Engineering involves planning, designing and executing structural works. The profession deals with a wide variety of engineering tasks including designing, supervision and construction activities of public works like roads, bridges, tunnels, buildings, airports, dams, water works, sewage systems, ports etc. and offers a multitude of challenging career opportunities.  Careers  There is no one typical career path for civil engineers. Most engineering graduates start with jobs of low responsibility, and as they prove their competence, they are given more and more responsible tasks, but within each subfield of civil engineering, and even within different segments of the market within each branch, the details of a career path can vary. In some fields and firms, entry-level engineers are put to work primarily monitoring construction in the field, serving as the "eyes and ears" of more senior design engineers; while in
