Multiple teams across AG staff are responsible for the upkeep, services, repairs & maintenance of our building and flats. Some of the key activities undertaken by them in the last quarter were as follows:
1. Compost generation:
Compost is generated with the help of both OWC machines (for kitchen wet waste) and natural decomposition (for garden waste). We fully consume our wet waste despite falling in the bulk generator category and this is an achievement by itself. Generating 1000 kg of OWC (Organic Waste Converter) compost from 11,000 kg of wet waste every month is an achievement for us. This sustainable practice not only helps in managing waste effectively but also contributes to environmental conservation and promotes a greener lifestyle. Some of the benefits of using OWC compost in the gardens are improved Soil Health; Enhanced Plant Growth; Sustainable Waste Management; Cost Savings; Environmental Benefits; Community Engagement; Beautiful Gardens
2. Waste out of best 100 plastic bottles used in the garden:
We used waste plastic bottles to create a protective barrier for soil fencing. The idea was to use a creative and eco-friendly way to repurpose materials at Ashok Gardens. “Waste out of best” initiative! Your creative use of plastic bottles not only serves a practical purpose but also contributes to a more sustainable and visually appealing environment for all to enjoy.
3. Dry waste of 12000 kgs recycled:
We are segregating and recycling 12,000 kgs of dry waste every month. This practice demonstrates a strong commitment to sustainable waste management and environmental conservation.
4. Fire & Safety trainings:
We conducted and implemented monthly fire and safety training for facility staff in the last months. The training is a crucial step in ensuring the safety and well-being of everyone in the premises.
5. Rewards & Recognition Event for Staff:
The half-yearly Rewards & Recognition event was organised in January for the AG staff. Organizing a Rewards & Recognition Event for the staff at Ashok Gardens is a wonderful initiative to motivate and appreciate the hard work and dedication of the team members. These events significantly boost morale, foster a positive work environment, and encourage staff retention.
6. Staff Events and Celebrations:
The AG staff celebrated sports events in the first week of March including team events like Cricket, Throwball and some fun games. Women’s Day was also celebrated with full fervour by the female staff. It creates team building and motivation amongst staff members without compromising on any of their routine and important tasks.
7. Main Gate Painted:
To enhance the aesthetic appeal of the entry-level at Ashok Gardens, we completed the painting of the main gate. Since the main gate is the first impression for residents and visitors.
8. Frosted film installation on Glass:
Installing frosted film on all glass doors was completed since some doors and glasses required the same and at some places, replacement of the film was required. It provides Enhanced privacy, Aesthetic appeal, Light diffusion and easy maintenance.
9. Vinyl flooring installed in lifts:
We recently installed vinyl flooring in all the resident elevators. The new flooring offers both aesthetic appeal and easy maintenance. It has more durability and resistance to wear & tear and can withstand heavy foot traffic while being easy to clean and maintain.
10. The Banquet Hall counter repaired:
We recently repaired the banquet hall counter as it had worn off. This was an important maintenance task that improved the functionality and aesthetics of the space. The banquet hall likely serves as a central gathering place for events, celebrations, and community activities at Ashok Gardens.
11. Rat Guards installed in all shafts:
The Facility team has completed the installation of rat guards in all plumbing shafts at Ashok Gardens as a proactive step towards pest control and avoiding rate menace.
