Sustainable COnstruction REsearch Group
Sustainable COnstruction REsearch group, abbreviated as SCORE, was started by Prof. Sandeep Chaudhary. SCORE recognizes the need for sustainability in the construction industry and has been actively working towards achieving the same. SCORE is a multi-disciplinary research group with members and collaborations across different countries from both industry and academia.

A special class of light-weight brick developed by using cow dung as a foaming agent. This innovation has received several awards and accolades for its sustainable approach.
A cost-effective architectural brick developed by upcycling dimensional stone wastes. This was the first technology transferred to the industry from SCORE.
Prof. Sandeep Chaudhary is currently working as a Professor (HAG) in the Department of Civil Engineering at IIT Indore.
His research group conducts pioneering work in structural engineering, concrete technology, and sustainable development, focusing on innovative solutions such as steel-concrete composite structures and the sustainable use of waste materials in construction, with a strong emphasis on product development and translational applications.
His key achievements include IIT Indore's first technology transfer, recognised among the top forty technologies published by IIT Madras in the coffee table book Prabhav, and the recent adoption of one of his technologies by a prestigious Indian government organisation for a large-scale construction project, fostering pride in institutional progress.
Prof. Chaudhary serves on several committees of the Bureau of Indian Standards and the Asian Concrete Federation. He has established international collaborations, including joint research projects and academic exchanges, and was recently invited by the Government of the Russian Federation to develop a world-class research lab at NPI, Russia, as part of the Mega Grant scheme, highlighting his global research leadership.
His work has significantly advanced the field, as evidenced by his more than 120 research papers in SCI/SCI(E) journals and fourteen sponsored research Projects as Principal Investigator. He has recently coauthored a textbook on “Concrete Technology”, which has been published by McGraw-Hill Publications.
Prof. Chaudhary's mission is deeply rooted in addressing global challenges through sustainable engineering practices.

SCORE has recently expanded its scope of work to focus on rural development. This is in light of the fact that two-third of the population in India resides in villages. As a part of rural development SCORE is also working towards livelihood creation, clean energy and sanitation.
SCORE aligns with the United Nations Sustainability Development Goals (SDG), with a keen focus towards:
United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
Sustainable Cities and Communities
Responsible Consumption and Production
We have an expanding network of research collaborations across the globe.
