NCL contributes for development of Hathinala Biodiversity Hotspot under CSR.
Sonebhadra: Contributing substantially towards protection of flora and fauna, NCL under its CSR ambit, has given Rs.8 lakhs for development of ‘Hathinala Biodiversity Hotspot’ in Sonebhadra district of Uttar Pradesh. The amount will help in electrification, water conservation, drinking water facilities and lighting arrangements in the biodiversity hotspot. General Manager(CSR), Shri S.K.Jha handed over the demand draft of Rs.8 lakhs to Divisional Forest Officer, Renukoot Forest Division, Shri.Tulsi Das on Thursday, 22nd of June.
Haathinala Biodiversity Hotspot is an area rich with endemic plants and animals. Given the hilly terrain, the region largely depends on monsoon and often faces shortage of water during rest of the year. The electrification will come as succour in this regard and will facilitate water conservation. Additionally, it will also enhance the levels of lighting arrangements and potable water facilities which in turn would boost tourism in the area.
It is noteworthy that NCL spent nearly Rs.77.33 crores in FY 2016-17 for various CSR activities. Under its CSR ambit, NCL also contributes to government exchequer from time to time. In FY 2016-17, the company contributed Rs.20 lakhs towards Ganga restoration mission, ‘Namami Gange’. NCL also contributed Rs.20 lakhs towards ‘Uttar Pradesh Sainik Punarvaas Nidhi’, a corpus dedicated to welfare of soldiers’ widows and dependents.
