ONGC Mahesana
The CATCH Foundation has embarked on the ONGC-Mehsana project to transform barren land in Santhal, Mehsana, into a flourishing Miyawaki dense forest. Supported by Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC) under their CSR initiative, the CATCH Foundation team implemented the कैच वन संरक्षण प्रणाली. Over a span of three years, they will plant and maintain this forest, which is expected to bring numerous environmental benefits to the local community and promote significant social change.

From people around the area
A few days ago, I visited the Chevron Dense Forest of CATCH Foundation. There I heard the sound of different birds and I was very happy to hear it. This dense forest was very beautiful and dense. Here, instead of the bustle of the city, the bustle of the birds was more and more attractive.
