Bisleri has gone a long way in keeping India's history intact by collaborating with the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). They have signed a major deal under the 'Adopt a Heritage 2.0 Programme.' It is all about renovating historic water bodies, keeping them clean and beneficial for generations to come.

What does this partnership imply?

The agreement was signed on behalf of ASI, Ministry of Culture by Zulfeqar Ali, Director of ASI, and Angelo George, CEO of BisleriInternational. The MoU was then exchanged between Yadubir Singh Rawat, Director General of ASI, and George after signing. This partnership combines heritage conservation with sustainable water management, and hence it is a significant move for India's history and environment.

Which water bodies will be restored?

Under the initiative, Bisleri will assist in reviving four ancient water bodies:

Chand Baori at Abhaneri

Baori at Neemrana

Padma and Rani Talabs at Ranthambore Fort

Budha Budhi Pond at Kalinjar Fort

These bodies of water will undergo extensive cleaning, unclogging, and ecological restoration in order to restore their original beauty and significance. The operation will be phased in such a way as not to cause any disturbance to the historical landmarks. Educational sign boards will also be included to enable tourists and locals to appreciate the value of these sites.

Why is Bisleri doing this? 

Angelo George, CEO of Bisleri International said, "Bisleri is committed to creating a meaningful impact on society through sustainability-driven initiatives. This collaboration with the Archaeological Survey of India under the 'Adopt a Heritage 2.0 Programme' is a testament to our dedication to both environmental stewardship and heritage conservation. Bisleri is honored to adopt and rejuvenate the historic water bodies at these heritage sites. This initiative allows us to preserve India's rich cultural legacy while ensuring the sustainability of vital water resources for future generations."

Through reviving these water bodies, Bisleri seeks to preserve their cultural importance and ecological balance. It is part of the company's vision for sustainability, securing water resources for future generations.

For over 54 years, Bisleri International has been one of India’s leading premium beverage brands. Known for its trusted packaged drinking water, the company follows a strict purification process, ensuring safe and healthy drinking water for consumers.
