The Redington Foundation has renovated one pond and installed 67 biogas plants at Kuruthanamedu village as part of its corporate social responsibility programme near Chennai in the Tiruvallur district of Tamil Nadu, India, close to the warehouse operations of ProConnect Supply Chain Solutions (a wholly owned subsidiary of Redington).

As reported by Bioenergy Insight, the project aims to increase the availability of water for irrigation and drinking purposes as well as to replenish the groundwater level in the area. It also promotes the use of biofuel as an alternative to fossil fuel. A non-governmental organisation that promotes rural development, Hand in Hand Inclusive Development and Services (HHIDS), has implemented the project.

“At Redington Foundation, we are committed to achieve positive impact at the grass-root level and improve the quality of life for people. Our project in the villages of Thandalacherri and Kuruthanamedu is a conscious step towards achieving this goal and we are hopeful that our efforts will enable the people with better accessibility to renewable energy, clean water, digital literacy and personal hygiene,” commented Ramesh Natarajan, CEO, Redington.
