According to KE spokesperson, “We strongly believe that a culture of safety and health should be promoted at gross root level. This safety drive is an example of the same. The response from partner schools, their management as well as the teachers has been very positive. KE will continue to recognize and fulfil its responsibility towards the society.”

K-Electric has adopted an unwavering commitment to excellence in health and safety. Fire and safety awareness campaigns on general public safety are conducted annually by the utility company.
