Enthusiastic children of Borugudde Govt. School assisted MRPL in kick-starting their ambitious Mass Tree Plantation Drive, where 8,000 trees are planned to be planted in the surroundings of MRPL during the year 2024-25. The event was held at Borugudde on 06.06.2024.
During the launch event, 200 saplings were planted at Borugudde Govt. School, and another 500 saplings were distributed to MRPL’s flagship retail outlet brand, “HiQ.”
The MRPL Environment Team informed that throughout the year, tree plantation activities will be conducted in and around MRPL, nearby schools, and neighboring villages. Approximately 2,000 plants belonging to threatened species will be planted in the marshy area near MRPL, assisted by the horticulture experts of Pilikula Nursery.
