Induri Factory helps provide Safe Drinking Water to 11,000 villagers
In May 2011 with support from Induri Factory a water scheme was inaugurated in Induri
village. With a storage capacity of 1.5 lakhs litres, the new water scheme will
provide safe drinking water to over 11000 villagers. The development
of the new water scheme began in 2005-2006.
Induri village is situated on the banks of the Indrani River, which serves
all its water requirements. Water from the river is conserved in a water scheme
and pumped to the Induri village. The existing water scheme, however, was
unable to provide sufficient and safe drinking water to Induri village with its
growing needs and population. Hence a need was felt for a comprehensive
water scheme to meet the water requirements of the village.
While under the existing Rural Water Scheme, the government would fund 90%
of the upgradation, the residents of Induri village were expected to raise the
remaining 10%. Given Cadbury India’s long association of community development
in Induri village, we offered our support, funding over 50% of the remaining budget.
Recognizing the importance of safe drinking water for the village residents, we
also helped build a filtration system in the water scheme.

Migratory birds stop over at our Bangalore factory!
Water is a precious resource. As part of Cadbury India's efforts to continuously
increase water conservation our Bangalore factory has constructed a check dam to
store the rainwater. This dam not only acts as a major ground water replenishing
source for the bore wells in the factories and surrounding community, but is also
a stopover location for some of the migratory birds!
