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.

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.

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
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.
