The O/o Pr.CCIT, Gujarat has launched a new community welfare initiative to provide relief from the scorching heat to commuters and pedestrians on Ashram Road. A makeshift manual cold-water dispensing unit is operational on the footpath of Aayakar Bhawan, Ashram Road, Ahmedabad.

This noble initiative was envisioned and suggested by Shri Satish Sharma, Pr. CCIT, Gujarat, Ahmedabad, reflecting a deep commitment to the well-being of the local community. It is a humble effort to "quench the thirst" of the hundreds of citizens who navigate the scorching heat daily. To ensure convenience for the public without hindering the flow of traffic, the station has been positioned for easy, unobstructed access.

In the peak of summer, a glass of water is more than just a drink—it is an act of care. We invite all passersby to avail themselves of this facility and stay hydrated as they go about their day.
