Several meetings were organised with stakeholders of flat and container glass segments including Govt. Departments i.e. Ministry of Commerce, MSME, etc. The Executive Committee of the AIGMF met on June 25, 2016 at Central Glass and Ceramic Research Institute (CSIR-CGCRI), Kolkata. A parallel session on Glass Packaging Supporting Swachh Bharat Abhiyan was organized with CSIR-CGCRI, which provided an opportunity to debate on use of glass packaging as responsible and safe packaging, which supports Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan (clean India campaign). As CSR initiative, AIGMF gifted 400 glass water bottles specially manufactured by Hindustan National Glass and Industries to CSIR-CGCRI and 100 glass bottles to Dr. Chintamoni Ghosh, Director, Drug Control, Health & Family Welfare Department, Govt. of West Bengal. The bottles carried a logo of Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan enabling people demand responsible and safe packaging. About 80 participants from CSIR-CGCRI, Glass Industry, Media, Govt., Scientists, etc., attended the event. A presentation on ‘Need of Glass Packaging for Health and Environmental Reasons’ was made by Sr. Vice President AIGMF, Mr. Arun Kumar Dukkipati, which highlighted that Glass is a very important material for daily life in the entire world. It is a natural material for packaging, particularly items like food and medicines consumed in abundance by humans. Dr. K Muraleedharan, Director CSIR-CGCRI applauded advanced production techniques used by the Industry to manufacture light weight glass bottles and jars with no loss
