Grundfos India partnered with Environmentalist Foundation of India (EFI) to restore the pond. While this pond was built to be one of the sources of water for people residing in the area and contributed to maintaining the water table, over the years it was neglected and eventually became a breeding ground for mosquitos and even turned into a garbage dump yard. The restoration work included the excavation of the water holding area to increase the capacity by 18–20 per cent, strengthening of the circumference embankment, fencing, and planting of native plant species around the pond. *** *Ujala Cygnus Group of Hospitals appoints Shashank Saini as head of Digital Health  Ujala Cygnus Group of Hospitals on Thursday said it has appointed Shashank Saini as head of Digital Health.
