The next level was remarkably challenging as it involved submitting the workings & justifications for the water saving projects submitted by AMPL.  The last and toughest of all was the one-to-one interaction with a jury of around 10+ members who were experts in eminent fields.

How did we qualify for the award - We started off with some hesitation as the application to apply for the competition was received lately from CCI. Hence the application was to be submitted in a very short period. Our team had done a couple of energy saving projects which also reflected in savings of considerable amount of energy. We also understood that CII would be the best of the platform to showcase our energy saving projects. We started compiling them with ample proof to sustain ourselves amongst the toughest of the jury. This was followed by a one-to-one interaction with a jury of around 10+ members who were experts in relevant fields. To answer their questions one by one was a challenge for us. Although we successfully answered to the queries raised by the jury we truly felt that we had very low chance to qualify for the award as there were brands like Reliance, HPCL, IOCL and many others in the list. But to our biggest surprise we were successful in gaining the award.

We wanted to bring this out on CII’s platform, so that we could make our management proud since they have been guiding us endlessly to achieve this goal. The award process involved two phases. The first phase involved submission of application which was a tough job itself & was screened by an eminent jury of CII. The project submitted by us was qualified for the next level.
