Also fire safety programmes, first aid training and crisis management programmes are conducted to equip our employees to handle any uneventful situation in all shifts inside the premises.

In the year 2005, we installed ENERCON WINDMILL of capacity 330KW in the outskirts of Tharapuram in a field of area 1acre. Our WINDMILL generates 4.75 lakh units /year. Apart from this, we also outsource WIND POWER for running the plant. In total, WIND POWER contributes to 66% of the total power consumed in our plant.
Since we are aware that renewable source of energy is the best way of sourcing power, we plan and propose to go for solar Power in the year 2024-25
RAINWATER HARVESTING
We have a well which is 46 ft deep. Actually it was a salty water well whose TDS was 2010 as on 05.05.2013.We erected the 6" dia pipes connecting all weathering course and drained every single drop of rainwater collected in terrace into well, we were surprised to see gradual decrease in TDS level of the well water which was recorded as 921 as on 30.10.2020.We Continuously keep track on the condition of well water which we found to have TDS level 145 and PH level 6.6 as on 2.1.24 Now that the rain water drained in the well has changed the quality of water, we save on the expenses spent on cleaning Humidification plants, Humifog, Yarn Conditioning Plants and RO plants. In addition to that our well water level has also started increasing. Now, we don't outsource water for any of our needs.
RECYCLING SEWAGE WATER
With the view of going green even in sewage water / drainage water system, we started using bioenzyme in all our Septic tanks from 2017. These bioenzymes decomposed all sewage waste and purified the sewage water which was also tested and found to be pure enough to water our plants. So we continued this practice and also used only herbal cleaning agents for cleaning our toilets. But after Corona pandemic, the supplier stopped supplying the bioenzyme and hence we could not continue with it.
SOLAR STREET LIGHTS
Moreover, as a beginning stage of going for solar power, we begun with 52 nos of Solar Street Lights that we installed in the year 2014. We don't use power at all for lighting up the walkable area in mill premises and that saves atleast 120 units of power in a day.
