Speaking on the occasion, Dr Dixit said “This award is a matter of honour and pleasure for me. This is a recognition of the hard work of thousands of my co-workers and colleagues who are working round the clock on our project to ensure high quality work and timely delivery of our project at Nagpur and Pune to render world-class urban transport service to the citizens of these cities.’’.
Dr Dixit also thanked the esteemed jury members and the FIRST Construction Council – who are founders of this award, for this recognition. Maha Metro is one of the few organisations which has bagged so many awards over the years. Hence it is obvious that the leader of such an organisation would be selected for such an award.
Thus Dr Dixit’s efforts and contribution towards promoting overall growth of Nagpur has been acknowledged by the FIRST Construction Council, who chose him for the award. Dr Dixit has dedicated his award to Team Maha Metro, which includes officials, employees, and consultants, contractors for the tireless and sincere efforts they have put in for the Maha Metro project all these years.
