Apartment ADDA is hosting an award ceremony The Rise High Awards for Management Committees across six categories for their outstanding initiatives – waste management, water management, initiatives outside the gate, domestic staff welfare, renewable energy and builder-association collaborations.
The Rise High Awards are Apartment ADDA’s effort to celebrate management committees and residents, who volunteer their time and collaborate with vendors, local government etc. to implement outstanding initiatives.
Such initiatives are result of deliberate planning, patient collaboration and diligent execution. Rise High Initiatives not only improve the community where the initiative is implemented, but also set an inspiring example for many other communities. This as a result sets the bar high with regard to the standards of our city, state and country as a whole.
Launched in 2014, the Rise High Awards are held every alternate year. It is the first and only Indian award that honors gated community initiatives. This is the 3rd Instalment of this Award. Citizen Matters is a media partner for the award ceremony.
There is also a series of workshops planned, namely, Neighborhoods of Tomorrow (NoT) for Apartment Management Commitees and Residents working on neighborhood initiatives, RWAs. Participants get a chance to discuss with fellow Management Committees, subject matter experts, city administration and find solutions to their neighborhood problems.
