The Governing Council and “Public Eye” (newsletter of the Forum) have strongly believed that informed citizens make better citizens.
To this end, the Governing Council arranged a number of events and activities over the years.
Rain water harvesting :
A presentation was made by the Eureka Forbes Environment Group on saving water – how to reduce consumption, how to recycle and how to harvest the bountiful monsoon water. With cost-benefit calculations to help residents decide.
Regrettably, To this day, no building has made any headway.

“Batti Bandh!”
This was the brainchild of a group of four young men. Can citizens all together help save some power in a power starved State?. The Governing Council undertook a major campaign to recruit and motivate the buildings numbering about 100 on NSRoad to have “Batti Bandh” for the hour specified on a specified date.
This is now an annual event in the city and the Governing Council will remind and urge all residents to participate.
