Hinduja Foundation, as part of its Jal Jeevan Initiative, supported by Gulf Oil Lubricants India Ltd. (GOLIL), inaugurated a 500 LPH capacity Water ATM with a multi-stage treatment system in Chotila, Rajkot, located along the NH-47 highway. The initiative, carried out by Waterlife, was officially launched by Jayeshbhai, the Upsarpanch of Chanpa Village, with leadership representatives from Gulf Oil Lubricants Ltd. in attendance. The site features a water treatment plant with a 500 LPH processing capacity and multi-stage treatment to ensure the provision of safe, clean drinking water.
Designed to serve local residents, truck drivers, and travellers along the busy highway, the Water ATM will provide purified water to communities in need. Waterlife, an organization dedicated to sustainable water solutions, implemented this project to address the challenge of accessing safe drinking water, particularly in rural areas where clean water sources are often limited or unreliable. By making purified water easily accessible, the initiative aims to reduce the risks associated with waterborne diseases, improving health and well-being for the community.
Rijvanbhai Ikbalbhai Agariya, owner of Trishual Enterprise and the land provider for the project, expressed his pride in supporting this initiative, believing it will have a lasting, positive impact on the local community. Leela Ben, a local female leader, highlighted the crucial role of such initiatives in improving the lives of women and children, who are disproportionately impacted by water scarcity and poor water quality.
The Water ATM is part of a larger effort by the Hinduja Foundation and Gulf Oil Lubricants India Ltd. to address critical issues like health, education, and access to essential resources. Gulf Oil, through its other CSR initiatives, has been actively supporting truckers by providing access to safe and clean drinking water, making this Water ATM in Chotila a natural extension of its commitment to community well-being. The Hinduja Foundation, a philanthropic organization committed to social welfare programs in India, works to positively impact communities by meeting their essential needs and promoting sustainable development. Both entities remain dedicated to supporting initiatives that uplift communities, with the Water ATM serving as an example of how corporate social responsibility can effectively address real-world challenges.
