The event was graced by the Honorable Minister for Environment and Climate Change, Thiru. Siva V.

Promoting Sustainability in Education

Advanced Technology for a Greener Future
The facility, capable of recycling up to 10,000 liters of wastewater daily, transforms greywater and other effluents into reusable water for non-potable purposes like gardening and toilet flushing. This initiative reflects HECS’s dedication to pioneering sustainable solutions for water management.
A Collaborative Effort for a Positive Impact
Minister Thiru. Siva V. Meyyanathan lauded the initiative, noting that widespread adoption of such technologies across schools could significantly reduce environmental pollution. The Minister’s presence underscored the government’s commitment to supporting eco-friendly projects that benefit society and the environment.
