Project Sarbulandi, under which this plant has been inaugurated, is the representation of KE’s efforts to do just that.”

As such, KE strives to go beyond power provision, to empowering communities that will enable the people to benefit in various ways, ranging from clean-up drives, infrastructure development, family melas to medical camps.

This water filtration plant is a representation of broader efforts to engage and grow with the wider community.”
