Vedanta Aluminium Ltd (VAL), Lanjigarh celebrated the World Environment
Day by organising a massive plantation programme. President & COO Dr Mukesh
Kumar said one lakh saplings would be planted in and around the plant this year
as part of the company’s commitment towards improving the ecology of the area.
He said, “Our mission is to make a forest inside the plant instead of
building a plant inside the forest.” He reiterated the company’s objective to
make optimum use of natural resources through recycling and recovering of wealth
from wastes and making VAL-Lanjigarh the first alumina refinery across the globe
to have zero waste in addition to being a zero discharge plant.
For awareness on environment, competitions on slogan and painting were
organised among the employees of VAL and associated companies as well as among
schoolchildren. The daylong programme also included an awareness march held at
the VAL Township by all the families of the company’s employees and school kids
followed by plantation and prize giving ceremony to the winners of various
competitions.
