Ecological Balance

DSCL understands the need of maintaining right ecological balance and has therefore planted trees in and around all its facilities. Over 75,000 tree saplings have been planted at Bharuch, covering 33 percent of the green belt over the last 10 years.  Approximately 25% of 47 hectares at Bharuch have been reserved as a green belt for eco-development, marked by increased tree planting.  A continued focus helped the company achieve a tree survival rate of 95 per cent – over 4,60,000 in number – in the rocky terrain at Kota.

Additionally, the environment initiatives have been implemented in 35 locations across the Sugar units. It aims to set up plantation clusters called Panchvatis across the command area. Each Panchvati has saplings of Peepul, Bargad, Aonla, Bel and Sita Ashok in it. The Panchavatis are planted in community owned land of selected villages where volunteers take the responsibility of post plantation care.
