November 11 is considered as the National Education Day, the day when the birth anniversary of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad the first Minister of Education in India is celebrated because, he was sure that the education is the key to the progress and empowerment. This day is a reminder that learning does not stop in the classroom but it concerns the cultivation of awareness, values and responsibility to the society and the environment. Ekam Eco Solutions, an innovator in the field of sustainable sanitation, has been performing commendable roles in this mission, through enlightening institutions and communities on what sustainability, sanitation and hygiene entail. Ekam Eco solutions have attempted to close the gap between education and environmental responsibility.
Ekam has collaborated with schools, colleges, and universities through their different outreach programs, workshops and awareness campaign to promote sustainable sanitation practices in India. Zerodor Waterless Urinals, CARE Natural Cleaners, and other similar green sanitation technologies are examples of innovations that are eco-friendly and therefore practical solutions as well as educational examples to other companies. Introducing these technologies into the campuses, Ekam will assist institutions to prove the practical effectiveness of sustainability, which will decrease water usage and promote the transition to environmentally friendly behavior in students.

Beyond provision of products, the importance of the education as the prime engine of social transformation was also stressed in the activities of Ekam Eco Solutions. They motivate the students to see sanitation as a shared responsibility for health, environment and quality of life. The educational programs encourage children with innovative thinking abilities, to think boldly and critically to devise solutions for a better and cleaner Planet. Ekam Eco Solutions has tied up with some of the most reputed colleges of India like : Symbiosis International University (Pune), IIT Gandhinagar, IIT Delhi, BITS Pilani, Manipal Academy of Higher Education (Manipal), GITAM University and KL University, etc.
Through the resarch and interaction with these institutions, Ekam has been able to introduce and successfully implement innovative sanitation technologies like Zerodor Waterless Urinals, CARE Natural Cleaners and other eco-smart waste management systems. These solutions not only reduce water wastage but also serve as live educational models that encourage students and faculty to rethink traditional sanitation systems and embrace sustainable alternatives. Not only do these technologies conserve water, but they also act as live educational models to excite the student and faculty interests to evolve in time to rethink the present sanitation systems and evolve sustainable alternatives.

In addition to higher education institutions, Ekam Eco Solutions has actively engaged with schools to build awareness from a young age. Their outreach includes reputed institutions such as the DAV Group of Schools, Vidhya Metric Schools, Hindustan Group of Colleges (Chennai), St. Xavier’s School, and St. Mary’s School (Delhi). By conducting workshops, awareness drives, and sustainability sessions, Ekam has helped school children understand the significance of sanitation, hygiene, and environmental protection in everyday life. These initiatives have inspired students to become advocates of cleanliness and sustainability within their communities.

On this National Education Day, Ekam Eco Solutions stands as an example of how businesses can play a vital role in shaping a sustainable future through education. Their continuous engagement with educational institutions reflects a deep commitment to empowering youth with knowledge and practical skills that extend beyond the classroom. By integrating sanitation awareness into education, Ekam not only improves hygiene infrastructure but also cultivates environmentally responsible citizens.

Education and sustainability go hand in hand, and Ekam Eco Solutions embodies this harmony perfectly. As we celebrate National Education Day, let us recognize and appreciate such initiatives that merge learning with action - creating a generation that values cleanliness, sustainability, and innovation for a better tomorrow.
