allycaralgoa

Sanquelim, Goa | June 5, 2025 — In a powerful step towards sustainable development and environmental stewardship, Molbio Diagnostics, a leader in healthcare innovation, has donated 10 electric garbage collection vehicles to the Sankhalim Municipal Council in Goa. This green initiative, launched in partnership with the Goa CSR Authority, reflects Molbio’s growing commitment to cleaner communities and climate-conscious solutions.

The formal handover ceremony took place today in the presence of Dr. Pramod P. Sawant, Chief Minister of Goa, underlining the state’s strong focus on embracing sustainable technologies in municipal services.

⚡ A Green Push for Goa’s Municipal Waste Management

The electric vehicles, designed for solid waste collection, will now serve across the Sankhali constituency, streamlining daily waste collection with zero emissions and low operational costs. By reducing reliance on diesel-fueled transport, the move is expected to save several lakhs annually in fuel expenses while simultaneously cutting down the carbon footprint of waste management operations.

This contribution is part of Goa’s larger vision under the Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan and ties into the Chief Minister’s sustainability agenda, which emphasizes non-polluting technologies and efficient civic systems.

🌿 Driving Sustainable Impact

Speaking at the event, Amol Lone, President & CFO of Molbio Diagnostics Ltd., emphasized the dual impact of the initiative:

“At Molbio, we believe innovation should serve both people and the planet. Clean surroundings have a direct impact on quality of life, and these electric vehicles are a small but meaningful step toward healthy living and a more sustainable future. We’re glad to play our part in shaping that future.”

The initiative aligns closely with Molbio’s CSR mission, which focuses on blending healthcare, technology, and environmental action to improve lives while protecting natural ecosystems.

🤝 Public-Private Synergy

The collaboration between Molbio Diagnostics and the Goa CSR Authority showcases the positive outcomes that result when private enterprises and public institutions align their resources and goals. The donated vehicles are expected to greatly enhance the Sankhalim Municipal Council’s capacity to:

  • Collect domestic waste more efficiently
  • Reduce emissions from daily municipal operations
  • Lower maintenance and fuel costs
  • Improve the overall cleanliness and hygiene of local neighborhoods

This marks a significant milestone in Goa’s green infrastructure journey, and further cements Molbio’s status as a socially responsible business leader.
