Further, all professionals dealing with the safety aspects of buildings and structures will be certified through a licensing process. Not just this, the Council of Architecture and the Indian Institute of Architects will be responsible for the registration, training and upgrade of skills of architects for earthquake-resistant design and construction. The ministry of earth sciences will also facilitate the establishment of a techno-legal framework for the certification of artisans involved in the construction business.
