Role of Architects
Increase�the�importance�and�the�subsequent�employment�of�an�expert�Architect.�Apart�from�having� one's� own� practice� there� are� various�other�areas�where�the�scope�of�work�can�be�in�various�departments�as�mentioned�below�:�

In� an� architectural� college� training� is� given� for�various�facets�of�construction�such�as�knowledge�of� space,� mass,� volume,� light,� texture,� shadow,�program� and�materials.� The� building� that� is� the�end�product�is�a�creative�manipulation�of�all�these�elements.�It�also�teaches�pragmatic�elements�like�construction,� technology� and� cost.� Architects�create�the�overall�aesthetic�look�of�buildings�and�other� structures.� A� building� must� also� be�functional,�safe�and�economical�and�must�suit�the�needs�of�the�people�who�use�it.�Architects�consider�all�these�factors�when�they�design�buildings�and�others�structures.�Their�duties�require�specific�skill�in�designing,�engineering,�managing,�supervision�and� communication� with� clients� and� builders.�Thus,�effective�architectural�education�must�strive�to�achieve�and�inculcate�the�same�understanding�of� the� architect's� responsibilities� to� society,�building�users,�and�clients.�
The� role� of� an� Architect� is� constantly� being�modified� and� redefined� with� the� changing�scenario� in� the� profession� and� arising� complex�ecological� and� environmental� issues.� This� has�
Future of Students in Architectural Field
As� per� Council� of� Architecture� research� and�statistics� there� are� approx.� 370� Architects�registered� compared� to� which� at� least� 25,000�Architects� are� required� for� a� population� of� 3.88�crore�in�North�East�regions�of�India.�
Considering� the� speed� of� development,� the�geographical�situation,�political�status,�the�number�of�Architects�in�this�region�is�very�negligible�hence�the�profession�of��Architecture�has�a�bright�future�in�this�part�of�India.�
Architecture�also�known�as�the�'Mother�of�all�Arts'�not�only�reflects�the�Society�that�builds�it,�but�it�also�affects�the�way�that�Society�develops.�This�means�that�we�need�Architects�who�can�respond�to�the�different� needs� and� values� of� all� sections� of� the�community.�However� in�the�past�most�Architects�were�drawn�from�a�fairly�narrow�section�of�Society.�In� future� it� is� essential� that� we� ensure� that�Architecture� represents� every� social� and� cultural�background.�
Architecture�deals�with�many� important� issues� in�today's�Society� like�exploring�new�ways�of� living,�investigating�new�technologies�and�materials�and�ensuring� that� what� we� build� is� environmentally�sustainable.� Which� means� that� an� Architectural�education� is� one� of� the� broadest� on� offer,�equipping�people�with�the�talents�to�enter�a�broad�range�of�different�careers.
Design is nothing
but understanding
of materials,
a natural
instinct
for solutions and
respect for
nature.

Scope for students studying Master of Planning (Urban & Regional Planning)
India�Needs�3�Lakh�Town�Planners�by�2031�:�UNESCO�Report
BENGALURU:�India�is�on�a�path�to�rapid�urbanization,�but�the�country�lacks�adequate�number�of�urban�planners.�According� to� the�Unesco�Global� Education�Monitoring� report� 2019� that�was� released�on�Tuesday,�India�requires�3�lakh�urban�town�and�country�planners�by�2031�to�rejuvenate�and�develop�its�cities�into�smart�ones.�However,�the�country�has�only�one�urban�planner�per�4�lakh�people.
In�India,�21�universities�offer�postgraduate�town�planning�programmes�and�only�five�offer�them�at�the�undergraduate�level.�As�per�the�2011�census,�the�country�had�only�4,500�qualified�town�and�country�planners,�stated�the�report.�And�according�to�the�report�and�experts,�when�it�comes�to�urban�planning�education,�nothing�much�has�changed.
Prof�N�Sridharan,�director,�School�of�Planning�and�Architecture,�Bhopal�said:�“The�reason�why�urban�planning�education�is�lagging�is�due�to�lack�of�awareness�about�availability�of�any�such�course�at�the�school� and� college� level.� Students� are�mostly� told� about�mainstream� professions.� Urban� planning�education�is�different�from�architecture�studies�and�has�a�lot�more�social,�environmental�and�technical�exposure.”
A�review�of�institutions�accredited�by�Indiaʼs�Institute�of�Town�Planners�showed�many�planning�students�lacked�exposure�to�town�and�city�problems.�Further,�they�were�unfamiliar�with�the�functioning�of�urban�development�institutions�and�not�up�to�date�about�urban�development�programmes.
But�Professor�Kala�Seetharam�Sridhar,�head�of�department,�centre�for�research�in�urban�affairs,�Institute�for�Social�and�Economic�Change,�Bengaluru,�felt�students�are�aware�of�present�problems�of�urban�and�rural�India.�But�the�problem�is�at�the�recruitment�level.�Civic�bodies,�which�are�the�biggest�recruiters�of�urban�town�and�country�planners,�do�not�have�enough�freedom.�They�have�to�depend�on�the�urban�development�department�for�these�requirements.�If�they�are�financially�strong�enough�and�can�recruit�town�planners�directly,�the�shortage�can�be�addressed.”
