WeSchool takes a lead in Swachh Bharat Abhiyan by installing a biogas plant at its campus. Inspired by PM Modi’s call for Swachh Bharat, Welingkar Institute of Management Development and Research, (WeSchool), Matunga, took the lead by installing a biogas plant at its campus which was inaugurated by the hands of Padmavibhushan Dr. R. A. Mashelkar recently. He was joined by Padmabhushan Prof Dr J B Joshi, former Director, UDCT and Bharatkumar Raut, veteran journalist and former MP.

The Biogas unit installed at WeSchool will use the wet waste generated in the cafeteria of the campus to produce clean energy that can compensate a part of its energy consumption. The 6 cubic meter installation comes from a Cleantech company that had participated in the India Sweden Energy Accelerator (ISIA) at WeSchool last year, where Swedish as well as Indian corporates with interests in Green Energy had come together to form teams with MBA students who undertook an extensive study for 4 months that could enable the Swedish Innovative Companies to create business models to facilitate technology transfer and market entrance in India.

While talking about WeSchool's new initiative, Prof Dr Uday Salunkhe, Group Director said, "Institutions like WeSchool collaborate with all stakeholders for creating awareness, changing their mind-sets and empowering them for better governance, economic prosperity and sustainable environment. We expect that our young managers should become responsible citizens by moving from responsive to transformative contributors to the society. Together we can transform India and become contributors to change in the global context."
