We have been recogniSed for our yeoman efforts to improve the sanitation condition in India be it print, screen, media like CNBC News channel and numerous publications. We recently won SANKALP 2010-India’s biggest Social Enterprise Award in the area of Health, Water & Sanitation. We have also been recognised by former president of USA Mr. Bill Clinton during Clinton Global Initiative in September 2010.
The product is recognized by superior services in addition to high quality of polyethylene and fixtures that are offered even to the simplest of toilets. Also the discipline in maintenance and also the branding and image that we carry are our forte.
An economical, hygienic and safe answer to the problem of lack of sanitation is, a Portable/Mobile Toilet with cleaning and proper waste management techniques for disposal. It not only solves the problem of health and hygiene but also can provide on the spot sanitation facility without any assistance of external constraints within the system. It generates employment to lower income groups.
We are the unique and premiere company in India working in this space.
However, we have created enterprises through in-house talent and also other persons with similar interests. This is on a very small scale but we plan to increase this through our enterprise model.
