Tata Projects step towards
corporate social responsibility
December 7, 2004
Keeping
the tradition of the Group to do service to the
society apart from the business, Tata Projects
has taken a step forward by donating and installing
a 1000 litres per hour “de-fluoridation unit”
at Gangadevapalli village in Warangal district
of Andhra Pradesh through The Federation Of Andhra
Pradesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FAPPCI)
in October 2004.
The Gangadevapalli village has been adjudged as
an ‘ideal’ village by the Andhra Pradesh Government
and same was adopted by FAPPCI. This Village has
a population of 1,200 with 230 dwelling units
and the ground water contains 2.8 – 3.2 mg/litre
fluoride level. While a Canadian NGO offered their
assistance for the borewell, water storage and
distribution network, the “de-fluoridation unit”
was installed by Tata Projects in the distribution
system to enable the villagers to collect the
potable drinking water to WHO standard. The unit
supplied by Tata Projects is working well and
the villagers are happy with the services rendered
by Tata.
The skid mounted de-fluoridation unit is an in-house
developmental project of Tata Projects which converts
water containing fluoride and arsenic into potable
water.
