<br>GTTPL conducts plantation drive across Goa THE GOAN I NETWORK PANAJI In line with its commitment to ensuring sustainable infra- structure development of the state, Goa Tamnar Transmis- sion Project Limited (GTTPL) implemented a plantation of i,000 fruit-bearing trees across the state. GTTPL conducted this pro- active plantation drive in col- laboration with the local com- munities across four locations - Nagao Church, land parcels including Comunidade land in Colvale and Navelim. The company reached out to the people to understand their needs and implement- ed the plantation drive in a manner that will support the locals with livelihood oppor- tunities. Speaking on the initiative, Ninad Pitale, Project Head, GTTPL said, The key high- light of this afforestation drive is the livelihood benefit it will generate for the locals in the form of an additional source of income. In this drive, we have planted more than i,000 fruit-bearing trees. Once these trees attain their full growth, they would be an invaluable source of not just clean air, but growth and prosperity for the communities. He added, GTTPL aims to make Goa self-sufficient in terms of energy requirements while conserving the states pristine environment. As a company, we have taken ut- most caution and care in the project planning to protect the biodiversity of the region, and these proactive afforesta- tion and plantation drives are a step in that direction. We in- tend to cover more regions in future as part of our afforesta- tion efforts. In addition to the planta- tion, GTTPL has provided a drip irrigation system at all the sites to ensure regular wa- ter supply to the plants and this facility would be provided till the upcoming monsoon. 111EGOANa Fri, 12 March 2021 4%, epaper.thegoan.net/c/590317 <br>GTTPL conducts plantation drive across Goa THE GOAN I NETWORK PANAJI In line with its commitment to ensuring sustainable infra- structure development of the state, Goa Tamnar Transmis- sion Project Limited (GTTPL) implemented a plantation of i,000 fruit-bearing trees across the state.
