GVK Group is the story of an ambitious entrepreneur, GVK Reddy, who started with a simple dream of creating world-class infrastructure in India. After graduating, Reddy took over his father’s construction business in 1960. At the time, he was new to the industry and unsure of his chances of success. He reflects, ""With little knowledge of the profession, I lacked confidence. But over time, I learned to face challenges, work hard, and stay disciplined and focused—qualities that have remained with me throughout my life.""

His first successful project was the construction of a canal and tunnel under the right channel of the Nagarjuna Sagar Dam at Adigupala and Shyamrajpuram. For GVK Reddy, every task was an opportunity in disguise. One such opportunity came while working on the Nagarjuna Sagar Dam. He recalls, “During construction, a river flowed through parts of the dam. There was Block 41, which had to be sealed during the summer before the monsoon floods arrived. The contractor was reluctant to take on the job due to the risk of flooding, and no one else wanted to start the work.""

Pavitra Pradip Walvekar on Remote Work: How it Impacts Startup Success

Rajasthan has made impressive strides in renewable energy, but this growth has also introduced the challenge of balancing development with environmental protection. The rapid spread of solar and wind farms has begun to impact wildlife habitats, leading to conflicts with endangered species. Rajasthan's government is aiming to generate 30 gigawatts (GW) of solar power by the end of the fiscal year 2025, working toward self-sufficiency in energy. By 2030, they hope to have 43% of their power needs met through solar energy. As of last year, the state had already installed 15,195 megawatts (MW) of solar power.

IAS Subodh Agarwal highlights the need for responsible growth, saying, “The shift to a green economy shouldn’t come at the cost of our biodiversity. We need to stay aware of the challenges posed by large renewable energy projects and work on sustainable solutions.” Solar farms and wind turbines can disrupt habitats and migration routes, endangering the local wildlife. Dr. Agarwal proposes creating green corridors and zones that are safe for wildlife, allowing animals to move freely and reducing the negative impact of renewable energy projects.
