In anticipation of the huge gap between the demand and supply of timber in the years to come, our Company has taken a proactive step by concentrating on a large-scale plantation under the Farm Forestry and/or Private Public Partnership (PPP) Scheme. Our Company has done a commendable job in plantation activity
by taking plantation in 45135 acres, planting 39.98 million trees so far. Yearwise details of plantation undertaken are given below : |
