Speaking on the occasion, Prasanna Kumar Motupalli, CMD, NLCIL, said that Vriksharopan Abhiyan was started in the year 2020 by the Ministry of Coal with an objective to restore ecological balance through sustainable measures. He took pride in the fact that NLCIL Mines, with an Eco-park and innovative sustainability initiatives were a role model to the country. He called upon all stakeholders to continue to uphold the best practices in sustainable Mining and living. A total of 3000 saplings were planted in Mine-IA alone. Similar tree plantation drive was carried out in Mine-I, Mine-II, Thermal Power Station-II, Thermal Power Station-II Expansion and Thermal Power Station-I Expansion besides township areas where 82,000 saplings were planted and distributed. In outside projects at Barsingsar, Talabira, NUPPL, NTPL and Pachwara South, 53,000 saplings were planted and further distributed today to the participants on the occasion of VriksharopanAbhiyan. In total, NLCIL has planted and distributed 1,35,000 saplings on July 25,. Earlier, G Kishan Reddy, Union Minister for Coal & Mines, launched a Mass Tree Plantation Drive across various locations of Coal& Lignite companies including NLCIL and its subsidiaries, through virtual mode, on July 25 from Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL), Dhanbad, Jharkhand. Also present on the occasion were Satish Chandra Dubey, Minister of State for Coal & Mines, Amrit Lal Meena, Secretary, Ministry of Coal and senior officials of the Ministry, as well as top Management and senior officials of Coal / Lignite PSUs.The drive was carried out as part of the ‘VriksharopanAbhiyan’ being observed across the country, at nearly 50 locations of the PSE’s of the Union Ministry of Coal. “Vriksharopan Abhiyan” is celebrated every year with with great zeal by the Coal/Lignite Public Sector Enterprises, functioning under the Ministry of Coal, Government of India, with the objective of enriching the bio-diversity in the mining areas and bringing awareness about the imperative of undertaking wide-spread and sustained greening activities. As part of Tree Plantation Drive, programmes have simultaneously been organised at more than 50 locations spread in Coal/Lignite bearing states. It is also worth noting that the saplings planted in the mass drives organised in the previous years on the occasion of “Vriksharopan Abhiyan” in Mines and township areas have been nurtured well as a result of which, the saplings have grown into clusters and groves of small trees. NLCIL, which boasts of a “green” township with about 3 crore trees, a unique aspect by itself, is committed to sustainable practices including reclamation of mined out areas and to increase the green cover.
