ANAHAT: Hikal completed the ‘Rejuvenation of Konasandra Lake’ situated near their Jigani plant in Bengaluru in FY 2018-19. Hikal is now collaborating with SayTrees Environment Trust for the maintenance of this lake. It contributed towards the Green India Campaign, by participating in several tree plantation drives in Mahad and Mumbai (Maharashtra) and Panoli (Gujarat). Tree plantation is also done every year to commemorate World Environment Day on June 5th. There are many such projects under this initiative to make India a better place.
Creative Cafe: A facilitated brainstorming session on stated quality challenges at the sites. The site leadership team identified a group of participants to discuss and propose solutions to long-standing problems. The design enabled each participant to change tables after a while so that inputs are gathered from each one. All the actionable items under each problem statement were consolidated and put up to the Site Leadership Team to prioritize and implement.
