Bhopal, In observance of World Environment Day, BHEL Bhopal launched its “Environmental Awareness Month” under the theme “Ending Global Plastic Pollution” to reignite employees’ commitment to environmental sustainability.

The event began with Shri Pradeep Kumar Upadhyay, General Manager & Head of BHEL Bhopal, leading the “Environmental Protection Pledge” ceremony, which was administered to all General Managers, employees, and officers. He urged everyone to adopt eco-friendly habits, stressing that environmental consciousness should be practiced not only individually but also within families and communities.
