• Handed over rainwater-percolation pits to the Karnataka Forest Department
• Project covers 6 parks in Jayanagar and the Kadugodi Tree Park in Whitefield
• Also donating water ATMs benefitting around 5,000 people in Kolar district

BENGALURU, India, April 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — ExxonMobil Services & Technology Private Limited today handed over 100 groundwater-recharge pits to the Karnataka Forest Department, in the presence of GS Charan, Assistant Conservator of Forests, Bengaluru South Sub Division.

Created in six parks in the Jayanagar area and the Kadugodi Tree Park, Whitefield, these percolation pits (12×4 ft. each) will help clean rainwater to seep through the soil and replenish groundwater. The handover took place at the sprawling Kadugodi Tree Park developed by the Karnataka Forest Department and recently rejuvenated as part of Bengaluru Mission 2022.

ExxonMobil’s contribution is part of United Way Bengaluru’s (UWBe) ambitious ‘One Billion Drops’ initiative, which aims to collect 1 billion litres of rainwater annually to enhance groundwater recharge in city parks.

Studies show that a robust rainwater harvesting system can help address more that 70% of Bengaluru’s water demand. Hence, the Bengaluru administration has a strong focus on rainwater harvesting not only to create an additional supply source for activities other than drinking, cooking and bathing, but also to avoid water-logging during heavy rains.

“We have a significant presence in Bengaluru and want to play a part in solving the challenges our city faces. So we are working to improve water-harvesting capacity in Bengaluru’s lung spaces. We hope that our contribution will make a difference to Bengaluru Mission 2022 that aims to rejuvenate and revitalize the city,” said Monte Dobson, Lead Country Manager for ExxonMobil in India.

“United Way Bengaluru feels gratified to be a part of this water-conservation campaign that addresses key sustainable development goals, including clean water and sanitation, climate action, protecting life on land, and partnership for the goals. We believe in mobilizing the caring power of communities and ExxonMobil has been an equal contributor in supporting our mission,” said Rajesh Krishnan, Executive Director, UWBe.

As part of its corporate social responsibility program, ExxonMobil is also helping to address water scarcity in the Malur taluk of Kolar district, where lack of clean drinking water has emerged as a major concern for rural communities. The company is funding installation of four water ATMs that will benefit around 5,000 people spread across Devarahalli, Kadirenahalli, Kondanahalli, and Varadapura villages.

Dobson added that ExxonMobil aims to expand support to projects focused on improving the water situation in and around Bengaluru.

Commenting on the A&H Breakthrough Challenge, Antano Solar John, CEO & Co-founder of Antano & Harini said, “The 7-Day A&H Breakthrough Challenge was our way of giving back to the society and having a celebration. We recently covered a first significant milestone towards creating 1 million Excellence Installations Specialists across the globe and raising funds worth USD 150 million. At Antano & Harini, we believe that a revolution is coming in the field of personal evolution, which will make it stand at par with the advancements in other fields such as medical science, IT, travel, aviation and more. The predictive intelligence of excellence installations to design and fast-track personal evolution will make evolving excellence a birthright for everyone.”

Elucidating upon the same thought, Harini Ramachandran, Co-creator of Excellence Installation Technology, said, “It is a delight to think of the possibilities when evolving excellence becomes a birthright for everyone. Through excellence installations, we have created a reliable and rock-solid way for people to design and Fastrack their personal evolution. While most of our programs are one-on-one, the A&H Breakthrough Challenge was our way to welcome the masses and help them experience the power of “excellence installations led personal breakthroughs“.

This enables and equips them to naturally incorporate the new behaviours, traits, and mindsets, into their everyday life.

Commenting on their experience of the A&H Breakthrough Challenge, a participant commented, “I am a fashion designer and own a store in Mumbai. My sales had drastically fallen down for the entire 45 Days from March onwards. Today I made thumping sales. Thank you, to the entire team of the A&H Breakthrough Challenge. This selfless act can be done only by this organization.”

Another participant shared, “I took the A&H Breakthrough Challenge and felt the change. It was nothing short of a miracle. All my life, I have struggled with many things such as procrastination, negative thinking, depression, etc. The A&H method seems to be the magic key that can break down traits, habits, behaviours one might have that are counter-productive, self-sabotaging and stops one from attaining what they desire. I would further like to pursue other programs to become a change agent for my family, friends, employees, and most importantly, my countrymen because I am from a poor country (Nepal), where people really have counter-productive habits and beliefs that hold them back.”

Antano and Harini founded the trillion-dollar Excellence Installations industry to alter the course of human history.

With 50,000+ unique and scientifically-validated breakthroughs, Antano & Harini is the Worlds Largest One-on-One Mentoring Platform, assisting people in launching their legacy in 2-3 years rather than 10-15-20 years.

We have one chance; that is to cut emissions, go into clean, green renewable energies, limit waste, look into circular economy. We are deeply convinced that this is our new growth model.”

Underscoring the need to join forces to combat climate change, HE Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, asserted the need to work together to create a green, sustainable and equitable future during her interaction with youth at TERI GRAM on the first day of her visit to India.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen interacting with youth

Climate change and biodiversity loss are at the top of the political agenda of the European Union (EU) and India. Observing that the young should raise their voice for climate action, the President said, “Youth are the advocates to fight climate change as well as to fight for the planet. But they are also the ones who develop solutions.” 

“Young people have fully understood the urgency of the climate crisis. And they are doing something about it. From living more sustainable lifestyles to making their voices heard on the street and advocating for greener policies, young people are at the heart of the solution. So make your voices heard,” the President added.

Highlighting the long-standing partnership between EU and India, the President commended India’s ambitious renewable energy goals announced at COP26. “There is a lot of untapped potential between the European Union and India, we have a lot in common. And joining forces, we can do so much together for the benefit of our people but also for the benefit of our climate and our planet.”

“We share the idea that we need to look into solar energy, wind energy, biomass, hydropower, green hydrogen, and geo thermal. These are the ingredients for success for the economy, for the benefit of the people, and the protection of our climate and environment. Protecting the climate and environment has a lot to do with innovation. With innovation the world takes the right direction in cutting emissions and protecting the environment and for that we need clean innovative technologies,” she said.

Observing that women leadership is crucial for inclusive and environmentally sensitive decision-making, Dr Vibha Dhawan, Director General, TERI, said in her welcome address, “Engaging with young people on matters concerning security, climate change and public policy is important to promote youth leadership along with global citizenship for our common future. We are extremely honoured and delighted that this intergenerational dialogue is taking place involving a prominent woman leader and our future generation.”
After the discussion with the youth, the President planted a sapling at the TERI Gram campus and visited the TERI-Deakin Nano-Biotechnology Centre. TERI and the EU have a long history of joint projects supporting the green transition. The EU through its Research and Innovation Programme ‘Horizon 2020’ has funded several projects (investing close to Euro 20 million) with TERI’s participation, focused on climate change (e.g. ENGAGE & CD-LINKS) and water (e.g. PAVITRA GANGA).

Youth programme in India

The youth participating in the discussion were selected from a large group of participants in the annual Youth Climate Conclave, which is organised annually under the Strategic Partnership for Implementation of the Paris Agreement (SPIPA) project by TERI, GIZ India, CEEW and the EU Delegation to India. The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MOEFCC) is the nodal Ministry for the initiative. The Youth Climate Conclave seeks to engage in a positive and proactive way with the youth in science-based discussions about the most relevant climate change issues. A few Indian Erasmus students also participated in the discussion. For last two years, India has been the top recipient of the prestigious Erasmus Mundus scholarships. There are over 6,000 Indian Erasmus Mundus scholars who have studied in Europe under this programme.
Cooperation between TERI and the EU

The cooperation between TERI and the EU goes long back, with many joint projects funded under the EU Framework Research and Innovation Programme across diverse areas, such as climate action, resource efficiency and circular economy, smart and sustainable urbanisation.

A recurring yearly event in the EU’s cooperation with TERI is the EU’s participation in TERI’s flagship event World Sustainable Development Summit (WSDS). In addition, TERI and EU delegation to India have jointly organised three Youth Climate Conclaves, in close cooperation with the Indian Ministry of Environment Forestry and Climate Change.

The Nanobiotechnology Centre

The Nanobiotechnology Centre and associated Research Groups (working on Nanotechnology-based Agri products and Mycorrhiza Research) of the Sustainable Agriculture Programme at TERI have been involved in a number of bilateral and multilateral projects in the past 10 years. The centre is a member of EU Nanonetwork as well as the International Initiative for Safe and Sustainable Nanoproducts (INISS-Nano). Through the centre’s DTDRNA-network across continents program, the centre is involved in capacity building in Nanoscience, partnering with Portugal, Spain and Austria on this network. The EU and TERI have collaborated in several projects in the last decade under the EU Research and Innovation Framework Programme and recently under the newly launched Horizon Europe Programme (2021-2027).
