Sanand GIDC roadside-Emcure
CATCH Foundation initiated a project to transform barren land near Sanand GIDC roadside-Emcure into a thriving Miyawaki dense forest. This environmental initiative was made possible with the support of Emcure Pharmaceuticals Limited under their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative. The CATCH Foundation team implemented the "कैच वन संरक्षण प्रणाली" (Catch Van Sanrakshan Pranali) to plant and maintain the Sanand GIDC roadside-Emcure area for a period of three years.

Project Impact
Growing trees is one of the best way to tackle climate change and make our surrounding healthier and better.
Temperature control
1 grown tree prevents 15,000 litre of water from washing away. Forest directly improves ground water recharge of city.
Carbon Captured
1 tree captures 25 kg of carbon in a year. Our dense forest with 1,290 trees can capture over 32,250 kg in a year.
Oxygen supply
1 tree captures 25 kg of carbon in a year. Our dense forest with 1,290 trees can capture over 32,250 kg in a year.

“After participating in the plantation drive, I am amazed to see the transformation in the landscape. What was once a barren land is now adorned with lush greenery and thriving trees. It's a testament to the power of collective action and the impact we can make on the environment. I feel proud to have been a part of this initiative.”
