CSR - Solid Waste Management
Over the last seven decades, Saurashtra Cement Limited has been persistent and relentless in their efforts towards conservation of the environment. Prevalent with the best interest and initiative at the heart of each of its endeavours, Hathi Cement-Sidhee Cement, time and again, have been actively engaged in supporting their local communities and fulfilling its commitments towards the steady progress of society at large.
Sustaining the commitment, Solid Waste Management Pilot Project was launched at Bokhira, Porbandar on 18th February, 2023 in association with Porbandar Chhaya Nagarpalika and in collaboration with International Urban and Regional Cooperation (IURC) programme and Saurashtra Cement Limited.
The launch event explained dry and wet waste segregation along with its benefits. The concept was introduced to the residents through interesting videos, story narration, dance and skit performances. Alternately, waste segregation demonstration activities were exhibited to help explain the welfare of the idea.
As per tradition, the event was initiated with an auspicious lighting of the lamp. To give an added thrust to this effort, the invitees addressed the audience sensitising them on the importance of waste management. They furthermore motivated and encouraged them to implement the daily practices of waste segregation and cleanliness. This project’s main focus was to bring about mass-scale behaviour change among the residents.
To push the campaign forward and to educate the residents through entertainment, over 100 students from Arya Kanya Gurukul and Saurashtra Cement Vidyamandir performed inspirational dances and street plays, educating the audience and promoting awareness with regards to waste management in a enjoyable and interesting manner.
In addition, videos were shown to explain the impact on the environment and the essential significance of waste segregation.
Performances by the students at the event
The launch program ended with the distribution of educational materials alongwith dry and wet dustbins.
We hope this activity brings about a significant change in the residents of Bokhira, creating awareness and encouraging responsible behaviour to bring into effect the transformation of Porbandar into a new clean and green city.
