Eco-Friendly
Projects
BDA has done pioneering work in addressing environmental
issues and familiarizing use of recycled water. The first major
initiative to make non- potable recycled water available in a
big way has been initiated by BDA within the City.
The tertiary treatment plant
at Lalbagh is now in a position to meet the non-potable water
requirement to an extent of nearly 15 lakh litres per day with
its fully automated dispensing units. These very customer-friendly
contraptions in position have attracted the attention of both
users and environmentalists alike. This is a giant step in promoting
use of recycled water and conserving potable water.
Encouraged by this success, BDA
has ventured another tertiary treatment plant in the biggest lung
space in Bangalore City viz., Cubbon Park and the work is progressing
round the clock. The Park extending over 300 acres of land had
no dedicated water source. The Plant is at the completion stage
and has a capacity of recycling 15 lakhs litres sewage per day.
Both these recycling plants treat raw sewage and the final product
is clearer than the bottled potable water.
Customer satisfaction in use
of non- potable water is something that is to be seen to be believed.
The Green tech Foundation of
India have conferred the Silver Trophy during November 2004, recognizing
the efforts made by Bangalore Development Authority in promoting
recycled water and conserving potable water, is a testimony to
the pioneering achievement.
The
most major break - through BDA is witnessing is in its customer
relations.
With a view to entrusting the
elements of transparency and greater accountability and answerability
among staff, computerisation and digitisation of data has been
initiated on a war footing. This process involves acquisition
and lan wan training of the staff networking, remote access, visact
etc., as a customer centric, BDA is introduced complete and planned
redressal system with fully integrated online complaint management
system (OCMS) and Interactive voice response system (IVRS)
A pilot multi purpose kiosks
(e-Pragathi), is ready for launch. This facility provides access
to all information, complete registration, complete monitoring,
checking of the status of complaints. In addition, it is also
equipped to down load, digitised maps, information updates, allotment
forms and host of other material relating to the activities of
BDA. This will enable Bangaloreans to access everything they need
or require from BDA at their door steps instead of them making
it to the Authority all the way. This is among the most ambitious
customer friendly planned by any Development Authority of the
Country and of the State. Kiosks will be the first in its kind
in Asia which remove iron curtains and makes everything transparent.
The new web site of BDA planned will be another window. TOP |
