A 500 LPH capacity Water ATM was installed in Chotila, Rajkot, by Hinduja Foundation. This is part of the Jal Jeevan Initiative of the foundation and supported by Gulf Oil Lubricants India Ltd. (GOLIL). Waterlife, an organization dedicated to sustainable water solutions, implemented this project.
Designed to serve local residents, truck drivers, and travellers along the NH-47 highway, the facility features a water treatment plant with a 500 LPH processing capacity and multi-stage treatment to ensure safe, clean drinking water. It was inaugurated by Jayeshbhai, the Upsarpanch of Chanpa Village, in the presence of leadership representatives from Gulf Oil.
By making purified water accessible, the initiative aims to reduce the risks associated with waterborne diseases.
Rijvanbhai Ikbalbhai Agariya, owner of Trishual Enterprise and the land provider for the project, expressed that 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 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. The Hinduja Foundation, is also committed to social welfare programs in India, works to positively impact communities by meeting their essential needs and promoting sustainable development.
