Recipient of WADE ASIA -Women in Design Architecture Art Construction Engineering's special contribution Award in 2018, Pratima is one of the very few visionaries, who recognized the issues around the provision of safe access to basic services such as #water, #sanitation, #socialhousing, #wastemanagement, etc., over two decades before today’s focus on urban planning and development. Pratima's knowledge as an #architect and her passion for ensuring equitable distribution of rights and resources to all leading to an upgraded lifestyle for the urban poor led her to establish Shelter Associates in 1993.
