 Coca-Cola wins Bhagidari Award- Fourth time in a row
Coca-Cola India won the Delhi Government's Bhagidari Award for the
4th consecutive year for its efforts in Water Conservation and Community
Development. The award was presented on the second day of the two day
Bhagidari Utsav at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi on February 3, 2007 by the
Hon'ble Chief Minister of Delhi, Smt. Ms. Sheila Dikshit. We took this
opportunity to also present the Water Calendar 2007 to the Hon'ble CM.
The Bhagidari Utsav is an annual event to celebrate the success of
'Bhagidari' - A public-private-community partnership program launched
by the Delhi government a few years ago.
Among the highlights of the Utsav was an exhibition cum display by some
of the partners of the Delhi government, where each partner showcased its
initiatives to make Delhi a 'better' place. In recognition of Coca-Cola's efforts in Water Conservation and PET Recycling,
we were given two stalls to outline our initiatives in these areas. Ms. Dikshit was one of the first to visit our PET Recycling
stall and after being briefed on our PET Recycling program, she urged the Company to spread the awareness on PET
Recycling not just amongst the visitors to the Bhagidari Utsav but also among people at large.
Our Water Conservation stall was visited both by the Hon'ble Chief Minister Ms. Sheila Dikshit as well as by the Hon'ble
Mr. A. K. Walia, Minister for Finance, Planning, P.W.D & Urban Development, Delhi Government, who were briefed about
the various programs undertaken by the Company to spread awareness and to conserve water. The dignitaries were very
appreciative of our efforts. We had showcased a device called 'Drip Gauge' for the first time in the country at the stall.
Drip Gauge is a simple but effective tool to sensitize people to save water. A 3-D Rain Water Harvesting (RWH) model
demonstrating the utility, functioning and commissioning of Rain Water Harvesting projects at individual households &
residential colonies was also on display. In addition, people were apprised of simple methods to Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
and Recharge water in their daily lives.
Our stalls evoked tremendous response from all stakeholders and nearly 3000 people visited our stalls during the event.
Of these, nearly 2500 participated in the two quiz contests that we ran at the stalls. Several Resident Welfare Associations
and NGOs also approached us seeking our guidance and help for RWH and PET Recycling programs in their colonies. |
