Private GSM operator Uninor has announced to engage with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Swachh Bharat Abhiyan across India.
The company had already committed to the Mission by signing an MoU with Varanasi Municipal Corporation. Varanasi is Modi's parliamentary constituency.
"We target to distribute 500 dustbins in Varanasi and have also offered to ensure cleanliness at some public places like parks," Uninor Business Head of Uttar Pradesh (East) Circle Jinesh Hegde said here.
While, Uninor had launched this initiative in Varanasi last week, the engagement would span other cities in phases, he informed.
UP (E) circle is the largest telecom circle for Uninor in terms of both revenue and subscriber base, he informed. It has 9.7 million subscribers in the Circle, which has a population base of nearly 130 million.
The company today stands at 3rd and 4th places in UP (E) in terms of customer and revenue share with 12.3 percent and 9.1 percent share respectively, Hegde said.
Uninor has 4,800 base transceiver station (BTS) in UP (E), of which 800 were commissioned in 2014. The company completed 5 years of operation.
