South Eastern Coalfields Limited (SECL), a subsidiary of Coal India Limited, has unveiled a striking life‑size model of the S‑400 missile launcher and a robotic soldier made entirely from industrial scrap. During Special Campaign 5.0 (Swachhta Hi Seva), the Central Excavation Workshop in Gevra crafted the display in just ten days, using nearly 800 kg of discarded metal—chassis, steel pipes, and iron parts.
The project highlights SECL’s “Kabad Se Kalakriti” initiative, which turns waste into artwork. By showing how recycled materials can build symbols of India’s defense strength, the team promotes the country’s commitment to innovation and environmental stewardship.
SECL’s display is part of a broader effort to link the “Waste to Wealth” theme with the national Swachh Bharat Abhiyan campaign. Employees across SECL headquarters and field sites now participate in open‑air competitions that encourage families to repurpose scrap into art. These projects raise awareness of waste management, resource efficiency, and the circular economy.
Every year, SECL celebrates Kabad Se Kalakriti by creating memorable artworks from scrap. In earlier campaigns, the Jamuna Kotma area built several statues, and the Korba region once displayed a Gandhi statue made entirely from industrial waste—each gaining national attention.
The S‑400 model and robotic soldier serve as a bold reminder that India can protect its borders and protect the planet, all while inspiring pride in employees and visitors alike.
