Xiaomi says the Lake Blue variant of Redmi Note 4 has been launched as a part of its ‘Wake the Lake’ project in India. The company has teamed up with United Way, a Bengaluru-based NGO working on restoring lakes and Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP). Kempabudhi kerre was inaugurated by Kempegowda, the founder of Bengaluru. The company is working with BBMP to restore a number of aspects of the lake including plantation of saplings, setting solar lights, outdoor fitness center, play area for children, setting up toilet facilities.
The sale of each device will go towards supporting initiatives under the government’s Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. The new Lake Blue variant comes with same specifications as the 4GB RAM variant of the Redmi Note 4.
Manu Kumar Jain, Vice President at Xiaomi and Managing Director at Xiaomi India said on the launch of the new Redmi Note 4 color variant: “We are a company who believes in giving back to the community. Water bodies have been the source of water for ages for people of Bengaluru but over the past decade, these water bodies have been facing a serious threat. To show our concern for the cause we are taking up the maintenance of Kempabudhi kerre, to support BBMP in bringing it back to its initial days of glory as a project under Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. To commemorate this cause, we are launching Redmi Note 4 Lake blue edition which would further contribute to this cause.”
