@SecH_IIMK_PGP25@backwatersiimk People are not cut, positions are being cut because our hands are tied due to the taxes levied on us. Even the government was aware of the implications of their move. Nonetheless laying off our employees doesn't mean we do not care. @backwatersiimk#SectionWars21
You can’t build a great building on a weak foundation. You must have a solid foundation if you’re going to have a strong superstructure. With that #corebelief, and #ideation ‘Devprayag’ was formed.

@SecF_IIMK_PGP25 @backwatersiimk There is no reason to put bottled water in the 'Sin tax' category. If we watch the long term perspective then sugary items like chocolates, cold drinks also should come under Sin Goods. A sin tax is a type of Pigovian tax, so there is a fine line. @backwatersiimk#SectionWars21
@SecB_IIMK_PGP25@backwatersiimk You yourself admitted that the tax was a 'BURDEN', it was not Devprayag's intention of evading taxes.We've provided livelihood for locals for years.This unfair tax imposition by govt endangered the locals as it became a burden for them to earn wages
@backwatersiimk#SectionWars21
@SecE_IIMK_PGP25@backwatersiimk Locals dont owe us anything but we strive to create a better world for them.Devprayag has built hydroelectric plant to supply power to locals at subsidised rate.Laying off staff doesnt mean not caring for people.We're actively improving their lives.
@backwatersiimk#SectionWars21
@d_iimk@backwatersiimk Govt unfairly imposed heavy tax duty without consulting the industry.Govt was aware of such complications & still went ahead without thinking about the locals.People are not being cut-positions are cut.We had to layoff due to budgetary constraints.

@SecJ_IIMK_PGPF @backwatersiimk By simply quoting the 2-word solution doesn't suffice this complex problem. As per the Central ground water board, the overall stage of ground water development is about 58% in India, which clearly shows how other viable alternatives are needed @iimk_backwaters#SectionWars21
@SecJ_IIMK_PGPF @backwatersiimk "We put more carbon in the ground than we emit". Your statement is fallacious, as per the report Global CO2 emissions are set to jump by 1.5 gigatonnes in 2021and it would be the 2nd largest rise in emissions ever – led by a rebound in coal demand @iimk_backwaters#SectionWars21
@SecJ_IIMK_PGPF @backwatersiimk While talking about compostable bottled waters, adhere to the fact that an estimated 1,500 plastic bottles end up as waste in landfills or thrown in the ocean every second. Don't you think it is intoxicating the environment?@iimk_backwaters#SectionWars21
@SecF_IIMK_PGP25 @backwatersiimk Claiming that your product is better than tap water will do nothing to trick people. How is Devprayag better? By added chemicals from plastic or harmful substances like fluoride, arsenic and aluminium which are poison for human body #PlasticPoison#SectionWars21@backwatersiimk
@d_iimk@backwatersiimk I dont think you understand the rationale for tax. If you started commercialisation the air present in environment, then the govt is right to levy tax from your company. Please stop manipulating people with these tricks to stop paying export taxes. #SectionWars21@backwatersiimk
@SecC_IIMK_PGP25 Only thing you are bringing to people's doorstep is threat of endangering their lives.Bottled water is more injurious as it carries harmful additives.Bcz of presence of phthalates in plastic,drinking water from bottles can also lead to liver cancer #SectionWars21@backwatersiimk
@SecB_IIMK_PGP25@backwatersiimk Support your claim for 'Using recyclable bottles'. It's high time that people understand the principle of sustainable development and do their part in saving the environment. Good to see such initiatives by corporates with global reach #SectionWars21@backwatersiimk
@AhamBra29924728 You boast about giving back to local comm, then why did you fire local workers in order to pressure the government to reduce taxes.Firing your loyal staff is providing employment? Please, stop lying to people about your flawed vision #SectionWars21#CorporateLiar@backwatersiimk
REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE and REPLENISH. m energy efficient. Situated near a large water source we make efficient use of hydroelectric energy to reduce our carbon footprint on the environment. Let’s become #GreenPositive.#GoGreen #Devprayag#4R’s #SectionWars21@backwatersiimk
To reduce our carbon footprint and become a ‘carbon negative’ firm, we have started using biodegradable polymers. It is environmentally friendly and a better alternative than petroleum-based polymer. Our strategy is to implement 4 R’s of sustainability, i.e.....
