HUDCO's Swachhata Pakhwada
The Swachhata Pakhwada kick-started on 16th August 2018 by Dr. M Ravi Kanth, CMD, HUDCO by administering the swachhata pledge to all HUDCO employees.
HUDCO adopted a Government Primary School in Sarai Kale Khan, where CMD HUDCO planted a sapling and addressed the students for keeping their surroundings clean. HUDCO employees volunteered to clean the school premises and also presented a street play to the children on the same theme. Several activities were organized during the Pakhwada to highlight the importance of Swachhata in everyday life.
A painting competition for HUDCO employees was organized on the subject and a day was dedicated for cleaning the office premises by all employees. A Nukkad Natak by professionals was also organized by HUDCO at the India Habitat Centre to spread the message of Swachh Bharat Mission for all the organizations housed at the Habitat Centre.
