of the Gujarat government
Mumbai, August 26, 2009
Tata Chemicals Society for Rural Development (TCSRD) completed
building of parapet wall around the 1000 wells in the Gir
forest as a part of the lion conservation project of the Gujarat
government. TCL had committed to make the 1000 wells safe
in a phased manner under this project. The project was accomplished
in August 2009.
The initiatives were part of TCSRD’s overall objective
to foster development that is sustainable and integrated.
Be it helping with natural resource management, livelihood
support or the building of a health and education infrastructure,
TCSRD has aimed at improving the lot of the rural citizens
of Okhamandal and Babrala.
Said, B Sudhakar, chief human resources officer, “Over
the years TCSRD has been contributing towards sustainable
development of communities and environment in the Okhamandal
region. Conservation of bio-diversity has been one of the
focus areas of TCSRD and Conservation of Asiatic Lions project
in the GIR sanctuary aptly provided us the opportunity to
contribute towards saving this endangered species along with
the Gujarat government. We are proud to be part of this project
and being true to our credo ‘The Human Touch of Chemistry’,
will continue to focus on sustainable development in the geographies
we operate in, as always.”
