The Clean & Green Udvada Trust (CGU) is set to unveil its latest environmentally-friendly initiative on 26th January 2025, marking a significant step toward sustainable energy solutions. The project involves the installation of three solar panels valued at ₹6.30 lakh and a microgrid worth ₹25 lakh, generously sponsored by Tata Power.
An Event to Remember
The unveiling ceremony will take place at Jhandha Chowk, with Dasturji Tehemton Burjorji Mirza presiding as the Chief Guest. The distinguished Vada Dasturji symbolically launched all four verticals by breaking a coconut, signifying the beginning of a transformative phase for Udvada’s sustainability.
The Trust’s co-founders and trustees, Zarine Bharda and Filly Bapuna, were also present to commemorate this milestone. Filly Bapuna delivered an inspiring speech, emphasizing the Trust’s relentless dedication to environmental preservation and sustainable progress.
Powering a Greener Tomorrow
These solar panels, designed to have a lifespan of 25 years, will significantly benefit the Gram Panchayat by ensuring uninterrupted street lighting and will also support the village’s composting machine, thereby reinforcing the community’s commitment to a greener, more eco-conscious future.
Acknowledging Key Contributors
The CGU Trust extends its heartfelt gratitude to Sarpanch Dharmendra Patel and Deputy Sarpanch Sarosh Irani, who expressed appreciation for the Trust’s annual contribution of ₹9 lakh toward waste management through a private contractor. They further encouraged CGU to expand solar installations to enhance community benefits.
A special acknowledgment was also given to Mr. Dinyar Edulji of Concast (India) Private Limited, whose unwavering support was instrumental in bringing this visionary project to life.
A Model for Future Generations
As part of its long-term vision, CGU is now seeking donors to sponsor a composting machine, which will further strengthen Udvada’s sustainability initiatives. Contributions toward this noble endeavor are warmly welcomed, and interested individuals are encouraged to reach out to the undersigned.
Conclusion
This landmark event reaffirms the Trust’s mission to establish Udvada as a model eco-friendly community, inspiring collective action and fostering hope for a sustainable future. Through innovative solutions and community-driven initiatives, CGU continues to pave the way for cleaner energy, reduced environmental impact, and a more sustainable tomorrow for Udvada and beyond.
