As your reading this you might be at your home, office, restaurant or across the town square. But no matter where you are, the one thing that comforts you is a man-made nest. We may often call ourselves as intellectual beings who managed to ruin the beauty of nature with our deeds. One thing we forget is that we are just like any other species building a shelter. Is there anything wrong to build a nest for us? Absolutely nothing. Like the twigs in a bird’s nest, the sticks and grass in a beaver’s lodge, the leaf castle of the arboreal ants, the gravel and sand make up our homes too. CREATIONS DEFYING TIME AND EXISTENCE: What is the travel souvenir you buy when you visit the city of love? That’s right, the Eiffel tower without any doubt. Similarly, USA has a statue of liberty, London has Big Ben, Australia has the Melbourne star, Malaysia has Petronas towers and recently Dubai has Burj Khalifa. Whenever you set foot in a new country, the first thing that stands as an identity is a famous construction in that place. It not only identifies the city but also becomes the signature for it. They stand as a testimony defying all impediments of time and natural calamities, exhibiting the marvels a simple human mind and body could do. U aRe C ing THE SOURCE OF CREATION: Such powerful creations need powerful minds that are strong enough to imagine and courageous to execute them. URC constructions is without any doubt an example of it. I, Karthi Easwaramoorthy, was absolutely overwhelmed and delighted to have the conversation with Mr URC. Devarajan in one fine evening sharing his wisdom. We owe him hearty gratitude for the humble responses and solicitous attitude throughout the talk. URC Construction is a leading infrastructure design organisation that is revolutionising construction ideas among Government, Corporate and Private agencies. URC has an unbelievably strong foundation starting from the year 1956 and has expertise in the field for over 64 years. Over this period URC has taken up several projects in various fields and has shown nothing other than pure diligence and perfection. URC Construction was founded by Mr U R Chinnusamy in the year 1956. Apart from the pillars and strong buildings, he also built good values and personalities in all his encounters with people. Mr URC Devarajan shared with us the most loving memories he had of his father and how his father is an idol for him. At the end of this blog, you will understand why Mr UR Chinnusamy is a hidden gem should be recognised by the generation today. The story of URC starts with a young teenager with a vision to create a construction company that is solely run by strong work ethics and values. Mr Chinnusamy started his career at the age of 18 when he set out to venture into the construction field with his cousin. He worked alongside him till the age of 25 after which he decided to use his knowledge and experience to create his own organisation. Mr URC Devarajan recalls that his uncle (father’s cousin ) one day told his grandmother “ Your son right there, He is something else. He is a divine being in a human body. His thoughts, ideas are all very different from us. “ Like a storm in the tempest, his billion-dollar dream in a human mind, set foot on the outside world. He named the organisation UR Chinnusamy and Company in 1956 and started constructing his dreams from then. FIRST STEP TOWARDS FUTURE WORLD: It was the early times after the Independence of India and the main occupation of most of the residents was agriculture. Hence it was the time of industrial development and also there were innumerable irrigation projects taking place in the country. URC’s first ventures in the construction field were all irrigation projects like building canals, dams and hydroelectric stations. They carried out these projects with utmost reverence and diligence that they are strong and stand rigid even till today. URC excelled in irrigational constructions for over a period of 11 years. Slowly the organisation started to expand and they started taking up social infrastructure construction projects. Mr URC Devarajan quotes that, “The first step towards a country’s development is how well built is the country’s social infrastructure”. URC constructions completed notable social infrastructure projects like building schools, colleges and hospitals in the locality. Subsequently, they also handled urban development projects launched by the government called HUDCO( Housing and Urban Development Corporation) which involved the construction of houses and promoting urban infrastructure development. Along with this, the TNGRHS project ( Tamil Nadu Government Rental Housing Scheme) started to provide good accommodation facilities to state government employees was also successfully carried out by the organisation. MILESTONES ALONG THE LONG JOURNEY: Brave sailors never turn back on a storm, they sail through it. Even though Mr Chinnusamy faced health issues in the late 70s, he continued his work with the help of his partners. The empire never backed down, it rather stood tall and strong just like their construction. URC was not just building promising buildings but also started gaining the trust of thousands of clients and staff families. Wherever the work took place the family shifted to that place to take care of the progress. Hard work, veracious approach and authenticity is the main reason why URC is one of the top 20 construction companies in India. Over these years URC has built over 750 successful projects and covered several million sq ft of construction space. Their notable projects include: Nanjangud sugar factory built in the year 1986.Dharani Sugars and chemicals limited, Vasudevanallur built in 1987 The spinning mill in Rajapalayam handled by the Ramco group that was solely set up for export was built by URC.The International Trade Promotion Organisation in Chennai was an unbelievable work of excellence done by URC. The entire construction was
