The Architect does not enjoy the confidence of the society. This statement is justified by the expressed opinion of tradesmen, builders, consulting engineers, the great majority of clients, i.e., the general public and the bureaucracy both at the Centre and the States.
It is borne out by the fact that no architect has been elevated to a position of eminence outside his profession. In politics, national development and industry our leaders are other than men trained as architects. Even the trivial importance of wealth and social prominence is denied to them.
