inWhere there is dust in the interiors of homes, dwellers are prone to be victims of allergies – even dreaded ones that would need continuous treatment. Where competition has gone tougher and where ‘survival of the fittest’ syndrome holds ground, you will certainly not take risks of having a weak immune system or becoming victims of allergies and stay home. This is where use of a vacuum cleaner makes sense.
If you are looking for variety with each model exhibiting the best in terms of quality and technology, Euroclean from the house of Eureka Forbes is what you can bank upon. And Eureka Forbes vacuum cleaner price is not high on the pockets. You can get one starting from around Rs. 2501 or more and may go up and above Rs. 25,000 depending on the model you choose. Dry cleaning, wet cleaning, steam wash, spa clean, electronic items cleaning, vehicle wash, grease cleaning – these and more cleaning purposes are served by the Euroclean.
More complex the cleaning process, more sophisticated the features incorporated, and more multi-purpose the cleaning purpose, higher is the Eureka Forbes vacuum cleaner price. Automatic vacuum cleaning can also happen; it is the Euroclean Robocleanz that facilitates such functioning.

By Mudar Patherya (Article published in daily newspaper “Mumbai Mirror”)–
How Eureka Forbes brought about a change with their Community Fulfilment Initiatives, formed to provide responsible drinking water solutions for rural Indians.
Honestly, when was the last time you ventured into the back of beyond without mineral water? The usual fears we face: drinking water will be infested with bacteria or organic chemical traces inherited from pesticides and effluents.
You and I are not alone. There are 96 million Indians (more than the size of a number of countries) without access to safe water. Over 186,000 children die annually from diarrhoea caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation, about 70 million Indians in 20 states and 600 districts are at risk from excess fluoride and around 10 million Indians are at risk from excess arsenic in our ground water. The numbers are so large that we have stopped worrying. The one company that resolved to be the difference was Eureka Forbes. Partly because the subject of clean water was its business. Partly because it cared.
Over the years, Eureka Forbes started a division called ‘Community Fulfillment Initiatives’ with the objective to provide ‘responsible drinking water solutions’ and encouraging ‘water entrepreneurship’ for rural Indians. The core idea was an old one – provide clean drinking water to those who don’t get it. The twist was the entrepreneurial bit; the company created a local entrepreneurial interest so that the providers were from the same community of beneficiaries.
This is how: Eureka Forbes encouraged rural communities to buy a 500 LPH/RO/Automated with an automated dispensing unit plant for Rs 6 lakh with the objective of starting a commercial service vending purified drinking water to villagers with a payback of around four years. This is how the system worked: Eureka Forbes’ water scientists and field experts tested water conditions before setting up a water purification plant (Eureka Forbes has developed seven technologies around 17 different Indian water conditions). The plant provides water 24×7 without depending on the whims of the operator.
What Eureka Forbes provided was a unique automated dispensing unit that worked around a pre-paid card. Against a periodic top-up, neighbourhood residents could go to the machine and access clean drinking water. Soon the word spread that at this unique ‘water shop’, it was as easy to access water as withdrawing money from an ATM machine – no water spluttering to a stop, no water changing colour, no water tasting different. All they need to do is use a unique Water Card, its use tracked remotely by Eureka Forbes.
Whereas most companies in Eureka Forbes’ place would have made one-time local investments to provide free drinking water and leave it to others to take the game ahead, the company did the reverse. It created a scalable model that was fair to its commercial interests, the community’s consumption interest and the government’s social interest.
Whereas most agencies would have said ‘How can we put a price on something as fundamental as water?’, Eureka Forbes created a dispensing shop, pricing water at 10-50 paise per litre, justified around the idea that rural families with an average monthly income of Rs 4,000 spend Rs 200 on medicines anyway to treat diseases caused by impure drinking water. Suddenly, preventive treatment acquired a new ally.
Whereas most agencies would have said ‘We have given you reasonably safe water and that should be good enough,’ Eureka Forbes benchmarked its delivery in line with the demanding WHO standards; it plugged loops related to money and water leakages by plant operators and water mafias operating in India’s rural areas. Whereas most companies would have provided infrastructure and left, Eureka Forbes focused on creating cross-sector partnership between gram panchayats, state governments, NGOs and local communities to promote a collaborative entrepreneurship model, providing villagers with the opportunity to run the plants, sell water and generate a business while working closely with city-based water distributors and the government (State and Central).
The result is that Eureka Forbes now has water shops across Maharashtra, Gujarat, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal. Some of the results are amazing. In Manikyapuram (Andhra Pradesh), the community water plants have helped moderate the long-standing incidence of anaemia, weak teeth, sore joints and birth defects in children who for years had been exposed to water with high total dissolved solids including fluoride. In the slum communities of Agra, this model has empowered a women’s slum group to start a water-based business enterprise. In Unnao (Uttar Pradesh) the water shops have helped counter life-endangering fluorosis (derived from groundwater fluoride) that led to bone deformities in children, labourers, pregnant women and lactating mothers.
Why this is model is fascinating is because it has addressed a basic human need, linked that need to income generation, created entrepreneurs, addressed customers from within the community and generated hidden savings (lower health care costs). This then could be a model waiting to attract financiers for onward replication across the country.

inMost of you guys must be already availing the benefits of reverse osmosis water purification systems by Eureka Forbes. I don’t think so if there is any other company other than Eureka Forbes that is so popular in Indian homes and commercial spaces in the field of reverse osmosis water purification. I have seen the Aquaguard in many a places. I do use an Aquaguard purification system by Eureka Forbes at my home. It is the Aquaguard Total SENSA, which happens to be the world’s first water purification system with Blu-G technology.
