Initiatives In RajasthanKaladera community steps forward to appreciate Coca-Cola operations
In an
unprecedented move, the local residents of Kaladera and neighbouring villages
have come forward to appreciate the Citizenship activities undertaken by the company.
The local management of Coca-Cola bottling plant located at RIICO Industrial Area,
Kaladera, near the Indian desert State of Rajasthan’s capital Jaipur, has been
supporting a range of projects in line with the Company’s policy of strengthening
the local communities. These initiatives have benefited thousands of local residents
and include rainwater harvesting projects in Kaladera, construction of water tank
at Anoopura, rejuvenation of an old bawadi at Anoopura, a series of weekly ‘Mother
& Child’ health camps at Kaladera, donation of tri-cycles for the physically challenged
people of Govindgarh block, donation of sewing machines for young widows of the
area, merit-cum-means scholarships to girls in local schools and support to local
farmers.
The communities have spontaneously responded with an overwhelming
display of appreciation for these efforts and we are proud to be able to become
their “Partners in Progress.”
RIICO has acknowledged the initiatives taken by Coca-Cola India for the preservation
of water. The projects undertaken by Coca-Cola India are published in the
RIICO booklet which highlight the successful attempts made by the Company
Coca-Cola India in its endeavor to conserve water undertook Rain water harvesting
Projects in the RIICO industrial area. A network of four recharge shafts was
developed in the premises of the Kaladera plant in Jaipur and thirty-four
shafts in the surrounding ponds and lakes, for the purpose of Rain water harvesting.
The task included construction of natural storm water drains, field culverts
and depressions in compliance to artificial recharge of aquifers.In addition
to that, Coca-Cola India had also worked upon two more rainwater harvesting
systems in a Degree College and the other at the Government Girls Middle School
in Kaladera which includes water collection and water recharging structure.
The projects were implemented successfully as a result of which the water
table showed an increase of around six to eight feet in the water table and
the water was readily available for usage in the School and the Degree college.RIICO
appreciated the role played by Coca-Cola India in fulfilling its Social obligations
and encouraged the Corporate to undertake more of these projects in order
to preserve water by providing various incentives like giving concessionc
and tax reliefs etc.
