In support of the Prime Minister’s Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM) and the UN SDGs, Hindustan Unilever Ltd. (HUL) in association with Invest India, Startup India, and AGNIi are launching the Grand Water Saving Challenge.
Run by Toilet Board Coalition (TBC), the Challenge aims to address the need for an efficient flush system in public toilets to ensure optimum usage of water while ensuring a clean and hygienic toilet. The World Economic Forum’s Healthy Cities and Communities initiative which catalyzed this Innovation Challenge aims to improve people’s well-being holistically by enabling them to live longer and fuller lives in their local environments.
The Grand Water Saving Challenge is a national hackathon inviting Technologists, Inventors, and start-ups from the field of Water and Sanitation to participate. Winners of the challenge will receive a cash prize of Rs. 5 Lakh in addition to an opportunity to install and pilot the invention at a Suvidha centre, developed by HUL.
