“Roshini” for Rashtrapati Bhavan

NEW DELHI: President Pratibha Patil, who completed a year in office on Friday, inaugurated a new “Roshini Project” at the President’s Estate here in Rashtrapati Bhavan.

The project is an initiative aimed at making the President’s Estate a green and environment-friendly place in which good practices of conservation and efficient use of resources are encouraged and which can become a model for other townships in the country to emulate.

Urging the residents to make the project a success, Ms. Patil said environment was a subject of great discussion around the world and “Roshini” was a timely project contributing to improvement of the environment. “Every individual has the responsibility to pass on a better world to the next generation,” she added.

The programmes of water conservation, waste-water recycling, promotion of eco-friendly products, protection of environment and protection of the flora and fauna are all aimed at not only making the quality of life for the residents of the President’s Estate more meaningful and better but also to showcase these to the visitors to the Estate, added the President.
