Meeting with the Commercial Manager, KSTDC(Hotels)

Here's updating you all with a morning well-spent !

Thejaswi and me reached Khanija Bhavan at around 10:30 this morning and met Mr. M. Subramaniam, a very approachable person:

Minutes of the Meeting:

1) Waste management ? - initially he was reluctant and tried to brush it off saying it was not their concern since they do not own the place, but then he was honest enough to accept that they were the cause for most of the plastics around and he'll definitely work with us to get that sorted out -one of his ideas being that "We'll transfer food contents in plastic covers to Paper bags before selling to customers, as per the process followed at Bannerghatta"'

2) He suggested we present our thoughts about resolving the issue and what we expect from them, over mails and keep him updated about our activities.

3) He mentioned the make-over of Muthyalmaduvu - A project that will be started in a month or so. Said they would definitely keep in mind spreading awareness about cleanliness and place dust-bins along the path. [Shared info about the architect who would be involved too, not sure if this is of any importance ? ]

Well, he did give us a very rosy picture of what will be done and that he would be glad to help us out, but this can happen only if we are able to approach him as a more professional group. Maybe we should again have a meeting with him and think of ways to get him to actually back us up and since he seems to be open to our objective it shouldn't be really difficult.
