Introduction
Tree Mittra, a unique flagship volunteering initiative, is a virtual plantation drive by TATA Power under the Green theme that aims at encouraging employees and their families to adopt a tree, plant it, and nurture its survival. A unique approach under our Green Community.
We at Tata Power believe that the time has come now to give back to our planet all that we have devoured to ensure that our future generations continue to live and thrive on this beautiful planet as healthy individuals in complete harmony with nature and wildlife.
A plantation drive to increase the green cover
Our ever - growing story
The world we live in is not the one that was created. The world is evolving continuously. Human beings have molded the world and its natural existence to perhaps transform it into one where every man can flourish and live comfortably, even if it has been at the cost of nature and destroying the eco system of the planet.
In the last 40 years, TATA Power has planted saplings of fast-growing tree species native to the Western Ghats on hill slopes of the lake catchments. The afforestation program was intensified in 1991 and continues till date.
Success of Tree Mittra
This initiative's success has become imperative to the ecological improvement of the lakes and for the conservation of the flora, fauna, and aquatic diversity therein.
The species selected for plantation are mostly indigenous forest species grown in the region and are also slowly decreasing in numbers and need to be planted on a large scale to ensure conservation.
Tree Mittra came into being from this practice to scale up the cause of afforestation and protect local biodiversity.
Our journey so far
The TATA Power Tree Mittra initiative has already covered miles across the country. With over 5,000 trees planted across Maharashtra, this noble initiative is picking up pace across the country, having already reached the states of Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Odisha, Gujarat, and Karnataka.
In the coming days we hope that this non-profitable environmental charity program will reach out to many more people who will play a vital role in increasing the number of plantations done across India and help us achieve remarkable milestones.
Planting the roots that leads to a sustainable tomorrow
Why plant a tree?
Trees help reduce the harmful effects of climate change by extracting the chemicals and carbon in the air that are harmful for living beings and thus cleansing the environment.
They also play a vital role in reducing landslides, floods, and earthquakes by intercepting the water in the soil caused by excessive rain and floods.
The fruits we eat that give us essential nutrients and the herbs we consume are mostly grown on trees. Most medicines are also made with the help of tree extracts.
