1. Sanitary Napkins Vending Machine

A healthy lady raises a healthy family and hygiene is the first step towards it. Diffusion Engineers Limited installed sanitary napkin vending at 15 Zilla Parishad and other schools in rural Nagpur, which will help the girls of the schools to maintain personal hygiene and better waste disposal. The girls were also counselled on the occasion on how to use the machine and maintain hygiene. More than 3000 + girl students of these institutions are benefitted by this initiative.

2. Building Toilet Blocks

Diffusion is sensitive towards the Swatch Bharat Abhiyan and we believe that the awareness of hygiene and cleanliness can be brought through children. We have built 20+ toilet blocks in Zilla Parishad schools in rural Nagpur which will further distill down to their parents and homes and bring about awareness of cleanliness.

3. Preserving Environment & Water Harvesting

  • Diffusion Engineers Ltd maintains Pawanbhoomi ground cum park after obtaining formal permission from NIT. We have developed the ground by levelling the ground, planting trees and plants which will bear flowers and provide shade. New signboards have also been added. Maintenance is on at full swing and new benches for visitors have also been installed.
  • Diffusion Engineers Ltd has installed a rainwater-harvesting system at its Nimji Plant at Kalmeshwar. Under this system, injection wells are dug in 5 ft radius around the borewell. The water is collected in the silt trap nearby, which gets percolated to the borewell after filtration in the injection well. Each of the points can collect about 2,500-kilolitres of water while rooftop rainwater harvesting units can collect 325-kilolitres of water. This system will enable ample rainwater to be collected and improve the water table of the region.
  • Diffusion Engineers Ltd conducts regular tree plantation drives at all its plants to enable a better and healthy environment and help in increasing the oxygen levels.
