MH Vatavaran and HP Petroleum Walkathon 2021


MH Vatavaran, the Environment Society of Miranda House; in collaboration with Hindustan

Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) conducted a walkathon to raise awareness on the

use of petroleum products.




This collaboration takes place every year. Despite the COVID-19 related fear and

restrictions, the event was successfully conducted this year too, strictly adhering to physical

distancing, sanitization and mask wearing guidelines.



Besides student volunteers of Miranda House, the walk was also joined in by professors

who led the students to the Khyber Pass Petrol Pump. They were greeted warmly by the

walkathon coordinator, who talked about the importance of cleaner fuels.


HPCL has also set up electric charging ports, realizing that as ‘cleaner fuels’ is a moving goal,

the future is electric. Students were familiarized with tests conducted to see how clean a

fuel is and to find out whether it is adulterated. They were also imparted with the

knowledge of their rights as drivers of two-wheelers and motor vehicles, for instance, the

right to get the tire pressure checked for free. A the end,, a pledge was taken where the

participants promised to use petroleum products judiciously and get others to do so too.



Volunteers were provided with white caps, T-shirts and ‘Saksham’ banners,

which they carried on their walk back to Miranda House. The students also carried two

banners carrying the society logo of MH Vatavaran, along with some handmade ones.

It was an enriching experience for all the participants and a break from the pandemic

related monotony of online events.
