After illuminating thousands of houses in Madhya Pradesh, home appliances major Bajaj Electricals would now join hands with the state government in tiger conservation campaign.

“We have strategic partnership with Securiton, a group company of Securitas of Switzerland and we will rope in state-of-the-art gadgets manufactured by our partner for countering the poaching menace,” Bajaj said.
“We have specially designed lights which are generally not visible to the person standing opposite to the light but the expert sitting in the control room could clearly see the person (poacher) even in darkness with help of this light,” the JMD claimed.
We also have modern security alarm systems and tracking devices, which could be handy in protecting tigers against poachers’ menace, he added. All these gadgets are part of Integrated Building Management Systems (IBMS), adopted by the company for the security and energy consciousness of commercial establishments.
Bajaj personally is an ardent wildlife fan and has been associated to activities of reputed organisations like WWF, Beauty without Cruelty, Friends of Ridley and environment watchdog Greenpeace.
He said that the company was in consultation with the state government for contributing in the conservation of the India’s iconic animal tiger, which is a national asset and should be protected.
