Karwar: Hey, enthusiastic birders and experts out there! As part of the Environment Stewardship Program initiative, the Kaiga Generating Station is organising the 8th edition of “KAIGA BIRD MARATHON” on January 21, 2018 and will cover the areas surrounding Kaiga.
Over the last seven years, the bird surveys conducted have been a huge success with the participation of more than a 100 enthusiastic birders and experts from all over south India. The 7th Kaiga Bird Marathon held in January of this year increased the Bird count to 276.
The Environment Stewardship Program (ESP) is a voluntary initiative with a mission to preserve the environment and was launched by the NPCIL. The specific focus of the programme is the environment around the nuclear plant site. The program, which is beyond the regulatory and statutory fulfilments, focuses on the scientific studies on bio-diversity, improvement of habitat and conservation of nature within and around the exclusion zones of Indian Nuclear Power Plant.
NPCIL as a responsible corporate citizen believes that these efforts will help in promoting habitat conservation and spread awareness about the importance of a healthy environment to make the world a better place to live in.
