The Mitsubishi Electric Group companies contributed money towards setting up the facilities which is being carried out in association with NGO Uthaan. The Composting Plant and the cold drinking water facility were inaugurated by Mr. Iwao Oda, Managing Director, Mitsubishi Elevator India Pvt. Ltd. and Mr. Makoto Kitai Managing Director, Mitsubishi Electric India.

Speaking on the occasion, Iwao Oda, Managing Director, Mitsubishi Elevator India said, “We are proud to be a part of this green initiative where bio-degradable waste is recycled and used. Mitsubishi Elevator India has always supported causes that benefit the environment.”

The school kitchen produces a significant amount of biodegradable waste every month. But in the absence of a composting plant, the waste had to be thrown away, school sources said. Mitsubishi Electric Group Companies in India which has always been known to support green causes stepped in to provide for the necessary funding and aid required to contribute to the composting plant set-up.

Makoto Kitai, Managing Director, Mitsubishi Electric India, added “We saw the composting plant as a step in the right direction towards the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan initiative since it is a great way to recycle the kitchen waste and put it to good use. There should be more initiatives like these.”
