Pune: Tata Power Organizes Tree Plantation Drive for Senior Maharashtra Government Officials at Lonavala to Mark ‘Kartavya Kaal’
Lonavala, 8th July 2023: Tata Power, a prominent integrated power company in India, continues its unwavering commitment to a greener and more sustainable future. In line with this mission, the company recently organized a tree plantation drive for senior officials from the Maharashtra Government at its Walwan Dam site. The event, held at ‘Tata Amrutvan’, saw the planting of over 400 saplings and was graced by esteemed individuals such as Shri B Venugopal Reddy, Principal Secretary for Forest Department, Government of Maharashtra, Shri YLP Rao, PCCF & Head of Forest Force, Mr. Prabhakar Kale, Chief – Hydros at Tata Power, Mr. A. G. Patil, CEO – WREL, and other senior delegates.
Recognizing its responsibility in nature conservation, Tata Power commemorated the recently renamed Amrut Kaal as Kartavya Kaal, aligning with India’s vision to fulfill its duties over the next 25 years of Independence.
For more than five decades, Tata Power has taken great pride in implementing an extensive tree plantation program at Walvan. Alongside the Mahseer conservation project initiated in the 1970s, this initiative aims to bolster the region’s green cover and support the thriving local flora and fauna. The program’s objectives encompass the prevention of soil erosion, the generation of livelihood opportunities for nearby communities, and the collection and documentation of data for educational and research purposes. Last year, with a heightened focus on afforestation, Tata Power successfully planted over one million saplings across the Western Ghats region.
