EDITOR’S SYNOPSIS
- ACC facilitates installation of solar-powered drinking water systems in four villages of Chhatatand GP.
- The initiative benefits over 100 families, improving health and reducing time spent collecting water.
- Promotes sustainable water access and cuts down on carbon emissions using solar technology.
ACC, the cement and building material company of the diversified Adani Portfolio, along with the Adani Foundation is enhancing rural health and well-being by easing clean drinking water accessibility. Through solar-powered drinking water systems across four villages under Chhatatand Gram Panchayat in Dhanbad, the Company and Adani Foundation have enabled consistent access to safe drinking water for over 100 families. The initiative addresses water scarcity, promotes renewable energy use, and improves the quality of life—especially for women and children—through low-cost, sustainable infrastructure.
Each village now has a 2 HP solar pump system with water storage tanks, ensuring uninterrupted access to safe drinking water. This initiative drastically reduces waterborne illnesses and the burden of water collection, especially on women and children, while also lowering operational costs due to solar power.
This initiative reflects ACC’s deep commitment to strengthening rural infrastructure through innovative and sustainable solutions. Beyond just providing clean water, it has restored dignity and ease to daily life—especially for women, who no longer need to walk long distances to fetch water. By integrating solar power into essential public utilities, ACC is helping build healthier, more resilient communities, one village at a time.
