Our Programs
Access for Water
Akash Ganga Center for Collaborative, Entrepreneurial and Sustainable Solutions for Water: A BITS Center for Excellence
Sustainable Innovations collaborated with US-based GIS Corps and India-based Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS) to use satellite images for designing the pipe network, measuring the rooftop area and numbering the reservoirs. This methodology significantly cut down costs, time and labor spent on the program.
Our Partner
