Water management
Fresh water is a limited and scarce resource that�s often taken for granted. Consider this, according to an MMRDA report, Mumbai�s present water demand, 3026 MLD (Million Litres Daily) is expected to rise to 7950 MLD by 2011, today the water supply being only 2500 MLD.
We, at Asian Paints, understand this and it�s our endeavor to create awareness on this alarming issue.
Asian Paints has built a Total Water Management (TWM) Centre, at its Bhandup manufacturing facility, which is a first of its kind in the entire country.
The TWM centre showcases live working models on water conservation and rainwater harvesting. Asian Paints provides expertise to citizens free of charge to implement Rainwater harvesting and total water management concepts. The water management schemes could be designed in phases, so investments are not significant. Also a payback period can be determined for investments.
So if you are interested in implementing rainwater harvesting and total water management solutions in your society, institution on your organization, do let us know. We would be glad to prove you all expertise at no cost. You can also visit the TWM centre to understand the various concepts of total water management.
Age Care is another focus area by Asian Paints in its CSR activities. T
The company had conducted various health camps for the aged. In India, the focus of such health camps has always been around the plants where the employees reside. Taking this into consideration, Asian Paints has started MMU (Mobile Medicare Unit) in Kasna, Patancheru & Ahmedabad. MMU has made it possible to reach the doorsteps of the needy and provide treatment for various diseases like hypertension, arthritis, diabetes etc. Also, the company had conducted camps on eye care, dental care, blood checkup among others.
Other initiatives : besides the area of water management and age care, the company also invests in providing infrastructure support to primary schools. In Ankleshwar � Gujarat, the company continues to support the �Shree Gattu Vidyalaya� school, which is established along with the Ankleshwar Industrial Development Society in 1983.
The school today boasts of around 2,500 students in primary as well as secondary sections and the plant has sustained its commitment of providing infrastructure support to this school, be it through donations of computers, tables and chairs, or through assistance in other maintenance work for the school.
In addition, the Ankleshwar plant has also taken up the cause of improving the health and hygiene situation of schools in nearby villages. An eye camp was organised in association with SEWA rural a renowed institution in eye treatment , during this camp 416 were examined , 72 patients were treated for cataract surgery , 13 for other eye ailments , 250 spectales were distributed to needly elderly citizens
In Sriperumbudur (South India), the plant is also treading on similar lines and has taken up the task of improving facilities in the neighbourhood primary schools. It presented the Pondur primary school with desks, tables & a PA system and even school bags for the student
