Magadi 24X7, Learning From Nashik

 

The Earth is filled with nearly 71% of water, yet we can only consume 2% of that water. This mainly lies in the fact that most of this water is filled with saline. Worse, in a country like ours, where we see rapid urbanization, the need for water is even more. The rapidly urbanising Indian population is expected to reach a figure close to 600 million urban people by 2031, leaving a the country to face serious challenges for urban planners.

Indian cities have for long lived with intermittent water supply systems riddled with a variety of problems ranging from high levels of NRW to contamination issues. Vishvaraj Infrastructure Limited (VIL) has understood the importance of such a requirement and are working to provide 24 X 7 water. And with that we go to Magadi.

VIL Addresses Issues With The Environment In Mind

The environment and the need to protect it is a requirement for companies to adhere. Luckily, Vishvaraj Infrastructure Limited (VIL) has been leading the way, especially in areas or water, waste water and infrastructure.

In an interview with Construction Times, , Arun Lakhani, VIL’s chairman and director said “Our solutions are focused on larger issues and by addressing them like minimum ecological flow maintenance, the ecology of river self-rejuvenation helps us to be more effective in proposing solutions.”

Such issues are easily reflected by VIL’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative with its central focus on people in a Public—Private Partnership (PPP). In fact, every PPP project at Vishvaraj Infra is conceived to benefit the people and the environment.

Any CSR intiative done with the ecolofy and people in mind will be a success. In his own words, Arun Lakhani says “Without the active involvement of 'People' from conceptualisation to the final execution no PPP project can hope for long-term success.”

VIL provides global solutions that contribute to sustainable development in the water sector through innovation in the design, construction and operation of drinking water treatment plants, distribution system reforms, etc.
