Power Finance Corporation Limited (PFC), a Maharatna CPSE under the Ministry of Power, organised a cleanliness drive, “Swachhata Ke Liye Shramdaan,” at its office in New Delhi today, under the patronage of the Ministry of Power,

Government of India. The initiative was undertaken as part of the Government of India’s “Ek Ghanta, Ek Din, Ek Saath” movement, which calls upon citizens, government organisations and institutions to dedicate one hour of voluntary labour towards cleanliness and contribute to the vision of Swachh Bharat.

The cleanliness drive was led by Shri Ghanshyam Prasad, Chairperson, CEA, along with Shri Rajesh Kumar Agarwal, Director (Finance), PFC; Shri Piyush Singh, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Power; Shri Diwakar Nath Mishra, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Power; and Dr. D. Saibaba, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Power, along with senior officers from the Ministry of Power and PFC employees.

The programme commenced with the Swachhata Pledge, administered to all participants. Officers and employees collectively pledged to contribute towards cleanliness, maintain clean homes, workplaces and public spaces, refrain from littering, and encourage others to adopt responsible cleanliness practices.

The participants subsequently joined the Shramdaan activity, undertaking cleanliness and sanitation work in the office premises and surrounding areas. The initiative reflected the collective commitment of the Ministry of Power and its CPSEs towards promoting cleanliness, hygiene and responsible civic practices.

Speaking on the occasion, Shri Ghanshayam Prasad, Chairperson, CEA, appreciated the enthusiastic participation of officers and employees and emphasised that cleanliness should become a sustained way of life rather than a one-time activity. He encouraged all participants to carry the spirit of Shramdaan beyond the workplace and extend it to their homes and communities.

The “Ek Ghanta, Ek Din, Ek Saath” initiative reinforces the message that cleanliness is a shared responsibility and that collective participation can contribute meaningfully towards building a cleaner and healthier nation. The cleanliness drive organised by PFC under the patronage of the Ministry of Power is part of the Ministry’s broader efforts to promote the values of Swachhata, sustainability and collective responsibility across the power sector.

The Ministry of Power and its CPSEs will continue to undertake cleanliness drives, awareness campaigns and other initiatives in support of the Swachh Bharat Mission and the Government of India’s vision of a clean and sustainable India.

Milky Mist Dairy Food Limited has commissioned a new 10 MW solar power plant at Arasanoor, Tamil Nadu, taking its total renewable energy generation capacity to approximately 41 MW.

With the commissioning of the new facility, renewable energy sources now meet the company’s total power requirements across its operations. The new plant is in addition to an existing 15 MW solar facility at Arasanoor, taking the total solar capacity at the location to 25 MW.

Milky Mist has invested approximately ₹109.60 crore in the 25 MW solar capacity at Arasanoor. The company’s overall renewable energy portfolio comprises 25 MW of solar at Arasanoor, 9 MW at Kavilipalayam, 5 MW at Chithode and 2 MW of wind capacity at Kayathar.

The 25 MW Arasanoor facility is expected to generate around 2 million units of renewable electricity annually. The power will support the company’s integrated manufacturing facility at Perundurai and its milk chilling centres across multiple locations.

The additional renewable capacity is expected to reduce the company’s dependence on conventional power sources and help avoid approximately 16,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually.

Milky Mist has been investing in renewable energy since 2016. Its cumulative investment in renewable energy generation plants has reached nearly ₹197 crore, with the company reporting approximately 210 million units of electricity generated to date.

Beyond solar and wind, the company has also deployed steam turbine technology and a methane gas purification plant that generates around 15,000 units of electricity per day. Methane generated through its effluent treatment operations is purified and converted into compressed natural gas (CNG), while biomass is used for boiler operations.

T. Sathish Kumar, Chairman and Managing Director, Milky Mist Dairy Food Limited, said the company’s renewable energy investments are part of its long-term approach towards resource efficiency, energy self-sufficiency and more sustainable manufacturing practices.

The latest solar project further strengthens Milky Mist’s renewable energy portfolio and marks a significant step in its efforts to meet its operational electricity requirements through renewable sources.
