With an objective to make people aware of the importance of water and how we, as responsible human beings, can conserve it for future generations, Jusco organised an awareness rally on Thursday. Ashish Mathur, managing director, JUSCO and Raghunath Pandey, president, JSU, flagged-off the awareness drive from Sir Dorabji Tata Park.
Speaking during the function, both Mathur and Pandey stated that water is a fast depleting natural resource and one should work towards conserving and recycling water from existing sources. JUSCO is working on a comprehensive plan for recycling waste water and at the same time is also creating awareness among consumers to encourage water conservation. It is the responsibility of each and every individual to conserve water and spread the message across society.
To reiterate the message of conservation of water a wonderful and impactful Nukkad Natak prepared by the Water Management Team of JUSCO was showcased before the flag-off.
After the flag-off, teams comprising members from the Water Division went around to different locations in town and organised an awareness drive. The team visited Sonari Joggers Park, Bhetia Park, Nildih Park, Sidhgora Park, Agrico Park, Golmuri Park, Ghorabhanda, Jugsalai and other parts of Jamshedpur , and distributed awareness pamphlets amongst residents.
On this day, Tata Steel and JUSCO organised a whole day session to reinstate the importance of water and what initiatives each was taking in their own respective areas of operation to conserve, reduce, reuse, recycle and recharge water. The session was inaugurated at Beldih Club by unveiling of the “Save the Drop”, mascot by Avneesh Gupta, vice president (shared services), Tata Steel and Ashish Mathur.
Throughout the day, eminent speakers from JUSCO and Tata Steel presented their insights and videos on Water along with Panel discussions on opportunities and risks for the industry in context to water scarcity and water and community empowerment. The session concluded with a Model Display by school children, a small quiz for the audience and awards to the winners of the quiz and essay competitions held throughout the week.
