A pool promises endless fun. It is the center of most happening activities and parties. It adds that extra glamour to a residential apartment and guarantees much more than a simple mundane living experience. An apartment with a swimming pool ensures an activity area that keeps kids and adults engaged for sure. Most of the Protech group residential buildings come with a poolside event and party area that is thoroughly enjoyed by residents.
With the onset of summer and the upcoming Holi festival, we are pretty sure you’ll be definitely making plans to enjoy your poolside to the fullest. As the celsius hits the roof, kids would want to spend more of their time near the pool. Though the proximity to the pool can definitely provide the right dose of much-needed Vitamin D and vitamin fun, there are also some dangers associated with it. Below we have summed up some of the Pool safety tips for kids as well as for parents that one can follow for their next pool visit.
Supervision
Supervision is the key to Swimming pool safety. By supervision we mean:
- Staying in visual contact constantly. Don’t just look at them once in a while.
- Always stay at an arm’s distance from your toddler when they are in the pool.
- Take your children with you if you are leaving the pool site, even for a moment.
- Always make sure that an adult is supervising when toddlers or children are playing in or around the pool.
Swimming Lesson
Sending your child to a swimming lesson always reduces the chance of mishappening from water. If you have your own backyard swimming pool or have a pool in your apartment then giving swimming lessons to your child is a must.
Note: Giving swimming lessons can only reduce the chances of mishaps, supervision is still the key.
Wear Floaties
Give your toddlers floaties when they are in the swimming pool. Floaties are a good tool to rely on when your child is in the pool. It also gives the parents a little more independence when the kids are in the pool.
But remember flotation devices should never serve as a substitute for active supervision. All children regardless of their swimming ability should be actively supervised when they are in or around the water at all times.
Use Sunscreen
Too much exposure to the sun might cause photosensitivity, skin rashes, and other skin-related issues. Sunscreen is an essential assortment for any summer activity, but especially for the swimming pool where you are prone to get overexposed to the sun. Without it, you could end up with a painful sunburn, which can lead to some other health and skin issues. So make sure you are using it.
Learn CPR and a few other water rescue techniques
Every time you visit a swimming pool with your kids, always make sure there is an adult who knows CPR and other water rescue techniques.
If you have a backyard pool or have a pool in your apartment learning these techniques by yourself will be a good idea.
Conclusion
These are some of the pool safety tips that everyone should follow. The poolside area in the Protech residential apartments is a major attraction for home seekers. It offers a great place for rekindling bonding with friends and family in a poolside party event or dinner. You can learn more about Protech apartments here: www.protechgroup.in

Real estate is the 2nd largest employer in the nation and in this Protech blog, we will explore the implications of the current budget on the real state sector. In 2019-2020, the sector had to deal with a liquidity crunch. COVID-19 has further worsened the situation. The real estate marketers hope that budget 2021 will revitalize its shrinking market grasp and will lead to the revival of the sector as a whole.
Affordable housing, tax deduction on home loan interest, debt financing for REITs and InvITs, and a boost to infrastructure in Union Budget 2021-22 are expected to be the biggest gains for the real estate sector in India.
In total, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs has allocated Rs 54,581 crore in the Budget 2021.
Here are some of the key highlights of the Union Budget 2021-22.
Affordable Housing
Most of the under-constructed residential projects of the Protech group in Guwahati are registered under the PMAY program. It should come as a relief for prospective homebuyers that the Central government is keen to continue with its goal of offering affordable housing in the coming year as well.
While presenting the budget, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said,
“This government sees ‘housing for all’ and affordable housing as priority areas. In the July 2019 Budget, I provided an additional deduction of interest, amounting to Rs 1.5 lakh, for a loan taken to purchase an affordable house. I propose to extend the eligibility of this deduction by one more year, until March 31, 2022″.
An additional deduction of Rs 1.5 lakh was also announced for the loans taken up till March 31, 2022, for the purchase of an affordable house.
Tax holiday for the affordable housing project
The budget also mentioned a tax holiday for the affordable housing project till 31st March 2022. Looking at the current crunch of supply of goods and material to the real estate sector, this move is expected to revitalize the supply line. This move has been welcomed by real estate developers, especially by those developers who mainly focus on providing affordable housing.
Increase in safe harbor limit for the primary sale of residential units
In order to incentivize home buyers and real estate developers, it is proposed to increase the safe harbor limit from 10% to 20% for the specified primary sale of residential units. This will allow a homebuyer to avert the additional tax if the actual transaction value is below the circle rate by up to 20%.
Push to Infrastructure development
The budget laid emphasis on infrastructure development in Tier-2 cities. Assam will be awarded Rs 34,000 crores to develop 1,300 km of roads across the state. To fund the infrastructure projects, the government will be launching a Development Financial Institution and will provide Rs 20,000 crores to capitalize the institution, with an aim to create a lending portfolio of Rs 5 lakh crores, in the duration of the next three years.
There’s a lot to look forward to in this budget, especially the announcement of Two new technologies, namely ‘MetroLite’ and ‘MetroNeo’ will be deployed in tier-2 cities and the peripheral areas of tier-1 cities, to boost connectivity at a lesser cost and the same experience. We must highlight here that Guwahati is a tier-2 city.
Metro routes in Guwahati will boost the economy by connecting distanced city areas such as North-Guwahati, which is resource-rich with commercial areas such as AT road or GS road.
Flexibility to REITs and InvITs
In the budget, the finance minister announced that the debt financing of Real Estate Investment Trust (REITs) and Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs) will be enabled by making suitable amendments. Now it will become easier for such trusts to raise funds for acquiring infrastructure and real estate assets, thus, solving the cash flow issues in the sector.
Amenities for construction workers
Finance Minister proposed the launch of a portal that will collect relevant information on gig, building, and construction-workers among others. This will help formulate Health, Housing, skills, Insurance, Credit, and food schemes for migrant workers.
Further to promote the supply of affordable rental housing for migrant workers, the Finance Minister proposed to allow tax exemption for notified Affordable rental housing projects.
Conclusion:
Real estate will be among India’s strongest economic engines going forward. Any benefit the government extends to this sector will be felt manifold across the economy.
Protech Group hopes that these initiatives will allow buyers to get the complete benefit of affordable housing plans and gear up the real sector market for projects that can meet the aspiration of low-income and middle-income groups who are deemed as the lifeline of the economy.

The year 2020 has not been easy for anyone. Covid-19 pandemic has changed the world in myriad ways. The markets are touching an all-time low, the economy of the nations has become stagnant and millions of people lost their jobs across the industry. The real estate industry is not an exception. The Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted the real estate sector too, which was on a rising curve for the last few years.
Last year both the residential and commercial sectors recorded a low number of new launches, sales, purchases, or any kind of transactions. Lack of raw materials and labor is probably the main reason behind this slowdown.
Below we have mentioned some of the sectors under real estate and the Impact of covid 19 on them
Covid-19 Impact on the Housing Market
The pandemic affected both the demand and supply of real estate property in the market. But to revive the demands, the government has taken key measures. In the recent past, the center has announced higher tax breaks and lower interest rates in home loans to make purchases more lucrative, apart from setting up a Rs 25,000-crore stress fund for stuck projects.
Covid-19 Impact on Homebuyers
Along with the housing market, the covid-19 pandemic has also impacted the Homebuyers. The prospect/ property seekers are unable or unwilling to visit the location physically and that has resulted in postponing their purchase decision.
And lately, we have seen a large number of the workforce being laid off from their jobs that have also made property seekers unsure whether they should invest in property or not.
To encourage buyers, the government has lowered interest rates on home loans and RBI has announced several rate cuts, bringing the repo rate down to 4%.
In a survey conducted by Housing.com in collaboration with NARECCO, 53% of respondents said they have put their plans to buy a property on hold only for six months and plan to return to the market after that. Nearly 33% of respondents in the survey also said they would have to upgrade their homes, in order to work from home. In a renters’ survey, 47% of respondents said they would like to invest in property if it was rightly priced.
Covid-19 Impact on Builders/Construction Companies
Builders/ Construction companies are the ones who got impacted badly during the Covid-19 pandemic. On the one hand, lack of raw materials and labor delayed the completion of the projects and on the other hand, the buyers were not willing to invest their money. With 1000’s of unsold stock and further delays in the completion of ongoing projects, the overall cost for developing a project increased.
To boost the real estate market the government announced several measures in its Coronavirus-specific stimulus package and the EMI holiday for builders during the crucial period.
Covid-19 Impact on Warehousing
On the basis of some assumptions, after the pandemic, the E-commerce industry will see a significant rise. And based on this projection the warehousing sector would stand to gain immensely.
Most importantly this growth will not only be restricted to the big cities, but it will also spread all across the nation. And this could be very beneficial for the tier-2 and tier-3 cities.
Covid-19 Impact on Office Space
Covid-19 pandemic has impacted this sector very much. Due to the rise of the contamination risk, companies all over the world announced remote working for their employees. Although people are gradually joining back their work sector, a question still remains as to whether this remote work culture is going to replace the office spaces?
Conclusion
The year 2020 had a far-reaching impact on many sectors, especially due to the pandemic that brought the economies to a standstill. The real estate sector was not an exception either.
But as an experienced real-estate developer in Guwahati, Protech Group has held its grounds firmly and successfully launched two new residential projects- Protech Green and Protech Paradise in the year 2020.
Recently, we have also seen that the skilled people and professionals who migrated to other cities of India are shifting back to Assam, where they hope to build their career henceforth. This is also a positive sign which will spur the demand for residential properties in the future.
We- Protech Group have launched our new project Protech Prime at kahilipara. If you are looking to buy a 3BHK flat, in the heart of the city, visit www.protechgroup.in for further information.
