As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility initiative, state-run firm Engineers India invested Rs 1 crore in setting up a reverse osmosis water treatment plant in Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu.
The plant would provide clean and filtered drinking water to 153,149 people in the temple town. On June 5, the plant was inaugurated by TKM Chinnaiah, Minister of Animal Husbandry, Tamil Nadu, in the presence of AK Purwaha, Chairman and Managing Director, EIL.
The project included construction of a RO Water Treatment Plant and associated facilities (skid-based unit) for Kanchipuram Municipality to produce 50 cube per hour of quality drinking water.
Water received will be transferred to the reverse osmosis skid, which comprises auto clean filter, chlorination, iron removal, dechlorination system, micron filtration and reverse osmosis units, says a press release issued by the company.
