The Environmental
Sanitation Institute (ESI) is a non-governmental organization based on the
Gandhian values of environmentalism that strives to provide a better quality of
life to rural peoples and the urban poor of India by improving their sanitation
situation. This building is also important by architectural point of view
and it is made by green building concept. Mr. Devendra and his team from ESI
brief us about the institute and its activities. Students were get
knowledge of different subjects like sanitation system, building services
& building planning and designing.

Kotarpur Water Works
provides services which focus on customer centricity rather than profit making
motive in such competitive market. The company deals in Water Treatment and
Water Supply in Ahmedabad. Kotarpur Plant treats 650 MLD water and max. 750 MLD
water accumulated form Narmada by gravity flow and from Sabarmati by pumping
water. The water treatment plant at Kotarpur provides up to 80% of water demand
of 1100 MLD consumption of Ahmadabad city and is largest water treatment plant
