A unique tree planting initiative to commemorate the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi Set a record in tree plantation #remarkablework

"If we are devoted towards the earth, the earth will reward us with a beautiful environment."

Our Unique Initiative: 

On 2nd October 2022, our CSR team at Vilayat paid tribute to Mahatma Gandhi in a special way. Tree plantation is a common initiative, but we wanted to do it differently. In collaboration with our employees, NGOs, and the Forest Department, we decided to set a record by planting 1500 trees within 15 minutes.

Our Objective:

To plant trees for the preservation and expansion of the environment under our project Grasim Forest.

Our Commitment:

We are committed to making this beautiful world or “NISARG” greener as we consider it to be our moral responsibility.

Our Target:

We aim to plant 70,000 to 80,000 trees during this year.

Current Status: 

We have planted 20,450 trees over a span of 22 days in the month of August using various traditional and Panchvati methods.

Our Support:

We will provide the trees with care and protection for the next three years.

Volunteers Involved: Approximately 300 volunteers consisting of:

• 150 school children
• 20 women
• 25 village panchayat members and other leaders
• 80 members from the community
• 25 of our employees

Institutions Involved:

• Primary School
• Village Panchayat
• VIKAS (CFD) – NGOs
• Forest Department 

Achievement:

On the occasion of the 153rd birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, we undertook a unique initiative — to plant 1500 trees within 15 minutes. Thanks to our teamwork and detailed planning, we successfully surpassed our target by planting 1740 trees in just 8.43 minutes. We owe this achievement to all volunteers who participated in this programme and helped us set a new record. We truly appreciate everyone who was a part of this noble initiative.

Appreciation from Regional Forest Officer, Government Forest Department, Bharuch:

“I have no words to express my gratitude. I truly appreciate the CSR Department for their excellent work. It is kind of them to plan to care for these planted trees over the next three years. I am glad to be a part of this programme and I wholeheartedly appreciate the CSR team led by Mr. Hemraj Patel for implementing such a great initiative by involving all the stakeholders in one place. My best wishes to the entire team. I wish them luck in breaking their own record in the near future.”

Pledge:

Soon after the tree plantation activity, all volunteers took a pledge to plant at least five saplings every year and to participate in a tree plantation campaign.

Impact:

• Plantation area would increase
• Decrease in temperature would be observed
• Decrease in carbon footprint would be observed
• Development of biodiversity
• Increase in water-holding capacity
• Availability of fruit and wood in the future
• Positive impact on ecology cycle

Overall benefit to the community
