The Horticulture wing of the Delhi Jal Board participated in the 67th Annual Chrysanthemum Show held on 04.12.2015 and 05.12.2015 and won 9 trophies. The show was organised by the Young Women’s Christian Association (YWCA) of Delhi. DJB won the two most prestigious titles — King of the Show and Star of the Show. DJB won these awards after giving strong competition to other Government departments and PSUs such as NDMC, various departments of the Delhi Government, DDA, Northern Railway et al. It is an honour for the Delhi Jal Board to win such a large number of trophies in a single year.
As a part of the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, Green Delhi and Clean Delhi Abhiyan, the Horticulture wing of the Delhi Jal Board has planted a number of trees, shrubs, flowers and is maintaining lawns, parks et al. in various DJB offices, DJB installations, including DJB residential complexes. The plantation exercise helps in keeping the gardens, office premises clean and improve the environmental conditions of the nearby areas.
It also provides aesthetic value to DJB’s premises.
