Tata Power dispatches 50,000 Mahseer seeds to Nandurbar
Mumbai/ Kolkata, Nov 13 (IBNS): Tata Power, an integrated power company, has been undertaking several sustainable initiatives towards ecological development and conserving the ecosystem.
In continuation with its conservation efforts, Tata Power dispatched a consignment of 50,000 Mahseer seeds to Nandurbar, Maharashtra on the request of the Assistant Commissioner of Fisheries, Nandurbar.
This initiative is a part of Tata Power’s ‘Act for Mahseer’, a sustainable programme focused at conservation of the Mahseer, an endangered species of fish and was undertaken in 1975.
For almost six decades, the company has been committed to the ecological development and preservation of natural resources in Western Ghats. In line with its core pillars of sustainability ‘care for environment’ and ‘care for community’, Tata Power has pledged its commitment to conserving the Mahseer.
The consignments have been dispatched in two batches where the fish will be grown to the size of fingerlings in the hatchery and then released in Sardar Sarovar by the fisheries department.
Speaking on the initiative, Anil Sardana, MD and CEO and MD, Tata Power, said, “As part of Tata Power’s centenary initiatives, we have reinforced our commitment to Mahseer conservation, which was pioneered by Tata Power in 1975. Tata Power has established standard techniques of breeding the Mahseer species post in-depth research of breeding over several lakhs of fingerlings. Till date, the company has produced and distributed in various water bodies, seeds in excess of 10 million fingerlings of Mahseer all over India, and we continue to do so, like in the case of Nandurbar, in order to conserve ‘the tiger of the fresh water’.”
