Second Innings Home: LDA project for senior citizens faces axe after repeated failed tenders
The Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) may soon pull the plug on its much delayed 'Second Innings Home' project located in the Viraj Khand area of the state capital, after failing twice to attract private developers despite offering land and infrastructure related support. The Second Innings Home is a housing scheme exclusively designed for senior citizens. Senior LDA officials confirmed that the authority will make one final attempt by releasing a fresh re-tender. However, if no developer shows interest again, the scheme will be scrapped altogether. The project, which was on a public private partnership model, didn't see any participation from the private real estate developers. 'We will re-invite tenders for the project shortly and if the work gets allocated then it will begin. If there is no participation this time as well, we will be forced to take a final call on the project,' said LDA vice-chairman Prathamesh Kumar on Monday. Aimed at citizens above 60 The Second Innings Home scheme was introduced during the tenure of former LDA vice-chairman Indramani Tripathi. It was conceived as a first-of-its-kind housing model in Lucknow for people aged 60 and above, offering a secure and community-oriented environment tailored to their needs, claims an LDA official. Spread over a total area of around 8,438 square meters (including open green spaces and a pond), the project comprises a proposed 12-storey residential complex offering 100 flats in two categories - Type A (70 square meters with caretaker facility) and Type B (52 square meters without caretaker). The scheme also includes a G+3 clubhouse, a G+1 commercial building, landscaped parks, car parking, and basic medical and recreational amenities. According to officials, the flats were to be sold through the LDA portal under a fixed price structure, with the builder sharing a percentage of the revenue with LDA. Why builders are hesitant Despite the promising concept, the scheme has seen no takers in the previous bidding of the project so far. The LDA floated tenders twice but failed to receive even a single bid. Officials believe the scheme's niche target group and the stringent builder-agreement model discouraged private participation. 'The main issue is the limited target audience, only senior citizens and the financial model. The builder has to construct on LDA's land and sell flats at LDA-approved rates, which reduces profit margins and market flexibility,' a senior LDA official explained. He added that several internal presentations and reviews have been held over the last two years, but no ground-level progress has been made. Questions on intent The scheme, which once held the promise of becoming a model for senior-friendly housing, has been stuck in limbo for over two years. Officials who had initially pitched the project as a potential high-demand segment now admit that the delays have damaged its momentum. 'This could have been one of our fastest-selling schemes. With an ageing population and growing demand for secure retirement housing, the project was timely. Unfortunately, the execution model is what failed,' the official added. With LDA now focusing on other housing projects under more flexible public-private partnership models, the Second Innings Home has slipped down the priority list. If the third round of bidding also fails to yield results, officials say the project will likely be scrapped.

How NIAT is empowering universities to deliver NEP-aligned, industry-ready education
Rahul Attuluri, Co-founder & CEO of NxtWave & NIAT As India's education system advances under the vision of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, with the continued efforts of UGC and AICTE to promote quality and relevance in technical education, the NxtWave Institute of Advanced Technologies (NIAT) is playing a key role in bridging the gap between academia and industry expectations. Through its University Collaborations, NIAT is enabling UGC-approved universities across India to provide outcome-based learning, modern infrastructure, and deep industry alignment for their students, in full compliance with UGC and AICTE guidelines. The result is a new national benchmark for skill-based engineering education. 'At NIAT, we're strengthening universities,' said Rahul Attuluri, Co-founder & CEO of NxtWave & NIAT. 'Our role is to bring in everything the industry wants—hands-on skill training, practitioner-led faculty enablement, internships, and placements, while the university continues to own and deliver the core academic program.' The collaboration begins with curriculum insights. NIAT gathers and synthesises these insights from multiple sources such as its 3,000+ hiring partner companies, a community of over 10,000 tech professionals, and cutting-edge in-house R&D and product development. These combined insights are distilled into structured reports and whitepapers, highlighting real-time industry trends, evolving job roles, and skill gaps across domains like AI/ML, cybersecurity, and more. Universities receive these inputs at regular intervals, helping academic councils and boards of studies modernise the curriculum while staying fully aligned with UGC and AICTE regulations. Faculty upskilling is another cornerstone of the collaboration. NIAT runs industry-led certification programs for faculty, including case-based labs, hands-on code reviews, and access to sandboxed real-world projects. Universities also benefit from NIAT's network of 10,000+ tech professionals through the onboarding of Professors of Practice—seasoned professionals who co-deliver modules and mentor students. 'To become a globally competent professional, students need not only a degree but also the right skills and aptitude. This integrated program with NIAT delivers both. We're proud to offer such a transformative education,' said Dr. R.K. Jain, Vice Chancellor, Ajeenkya DY Patil University, Pune As a part of this collaboration, universities are leveraging AI enabled technology platforms offered by NIAT. When integrated into the University's infrastructure, this platform supports project-based learning, live assessments, and real-time feedback, giving students the kind of exposure previously reserved for top-tier industry bootcamps. 'Technical skills aligned with industry needs are essential for today's students. Our partnership with NIAT ensures they don't just graduate—they're prepared to thrive in their careers,' said Farhad Yanapoya, Pro-Chancellor, Yenepoya Deemed University Modern infrastructure is another focus. NIAT provides universities with a research-backed classroom design playbook, informed by benchmarking top world-class institutions, and adapted for the Indian context. The design includes high-speed Wi-Fi, ergonomic seating, smart AV systems, soundproofing, and collaborative layouts—all built to support tech-enabled, project-based learning. Implementation by universities is supported with detailed bill-of-quantities, vendor templates, and rollout roadmaps, ensuring academic institutions meet both AICTE norms and global standards. What truly sets this collaboration apart is its corporate connect. Through partnerships with 3000+ tech companies, NIAT facilitates structured internships, mock assessments, and placement sessions—aligned with actual industry hiring practices. Using data dashboards, every student's progress is tracked and supported, giving universities deeper insight into career readiness. 'Students today need more than just a degree—they need skills. Through this partnership, students will receive a degree from our university and an industry-ready certification from NIAT. This gives parents the confidence that their child is truly career-ready,' said Dr. Ch.V. Purushottam Reddy, Founder and Chancellor, Chaitanya Deemed University Students receive a UGC-approved degree from the university upon completing the university projects, assessments, courses, required credits, and an Industry Ready Certificate (IRC) from NIAT, based on their performance in skill tracks, projects, and assessments. This dual credential not only boosts their employability but also aligns perfectly with the UGC/AICTE vision of multidisciplinary, skill-based learning. 'From 2025-26, students at our campus will benefit from a holistic program—receiving a degree from Aurora University along with upskilling and industry certifications from NIAT. This collaboration empowers students with both academic credentials and real-world capabilities,' said Dr. Srilatha Chepure, Vice Chancellor, Aurora Deemed University Importantly, the fee structure is fully transparent. Students pay tuition directly to the university for academic services, and a separate, optional fee to NIAT for the Industry Readiness Program. There is no bundling or crossover, ensuring 100% compliance with UGC, AICTE norms. 'This is what the government wanted education to be. Government bodies like UGC/AICTE are bringing important reforms for change. Aligning with them, we've built collaborations that make that change real—inside classrooms, with universities, and for students who now have both a degree and a future they can count on,' concludes Rahul Attuluri.
