Bharuch, Gujarat —  On the occasion of World Environment Day, the Adani Foundation launched a significant tree plantation program across Luwara village in the Dahej area and Koliapada village in the Netrang area of Bharuch district.

The tree plantation drive was more than just a symbolic gesture; it marked the beginning of an impressive year-long program by the Adani Foundation, Dahej. Various indigenous tree species were planted, strategically chosen to enhance local biodiversity and ecological balance. The core objective is to cultivate widespread awareness about environmental protection and encourage a lifestyle that actively contributes to its restoration.
