Team Rotary News

The Rotary Club of New Bombay Seaside, RID 3142, with CSR grants from ATOS Global IT Solutions & Services, has equipped the Mathadi Hospital in Navi Mumbai with a 71kW rooftop solar power generation unit. “This new facility is projected to generate over 95,000 units of solar power annually, enabling the hospital to save around 12 lakh a year,” said club president Sunil Shah. The substantial savings generated from this initiative will be reinvested directly into modernising and enhancing the facilities at the hospital.

The total cost of these projects was 1.1 crore.
