MCL observes 'Swachhta Pakhwara' with series of awareness events

Swachhta Pakhwara-2024: MCL's Commitment to Cleanliness and Green Initiatives

New Delhi: Mahanadi Coalfields Limited (MCL) is currently observing 'Swachhta Pakhwara-2024,' a fortnight-long cleanliness drive running until June 30. This initiative, part of the broader Swachh Bharat Mission, encompasses a series of awareness programs across the company's operational areas to promote cleanliness and environmental consciousness.

The campaign was inaugurated by MCL's Chairman-cum-Managing Director (CMD), Uday Anant Kaole, who administered the ‘Swachhta Pledge’ to all employees, emphasizing the importance of cleanliness and sustainability. Prominent officials attending the event included MCL's Director (Personnel) Keshav Rao, Chief Vigilance Officer (CVO) PK Patel, Director (Technical/Operations) JK Borah, Director (Finance) AK Behura, Director (Technical/Projects & Planning) AS Bapat, and General Managers/Heads of various departments.

To further disseminate the message of cleanliness, the CMD flagged off the 'Swachhta Rath,' a specially designed tableau. This mobile unit, adorned with creative print and musical messages, will tour peripheral villages and marketplaces, encouraging people to maintain clean surroundings and reduce the use of single-use plastics.

CMD Uday Anant Kaole remarked, “MCL remains committed to contributing to the national objective of a clean and green India. We encourage all stakeholders to actively participate in 'Swachhta Pakhwara-2024' to make this initiative a grand success.”
