This is Viral Desai’s sixth National Award and third from the President of India.
This national honour is awarded to people and organisations working for energy conservation in various sectors of the country, in which Viral Desai's company Zenitex from the textile sector got the first place from across the country, which spread a feeling of happiness in the textile sector in Surat and across Gujarat, the company said in a press release.
In this regard, Viral Desai said, “Once again we got the first position in the field of textiles, which is cause for pride, for not only us, but the entire state of Gujarat. Finally, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Gujarat is the first to make a solid start in the direction of renewable energy and energy conservation.”
He further said, “India is going to be a role model for the whole world in terms of energy conservation and climate change in the coming years. So, it is a matter of great pride that we are getting an opportunity to contribute to this great cause in this era of Amrit Kaal.”
It is worth mentioning that Viral Desai has already received four awards for his commendable work in the field of environment and energy conservation, in which he stood first in the country thrice. Many international organisations have also honoured him with international honours. The 'Satyagraha Against Pollution and Climate Change' campaign launched by him received tremendous response at the national level.
