With the signing of the MoU, M3M Foundation launched a plantation drive in Darbaripur hill, Gurugram.
Gurugram (India CSR): Today, whenever we discuss environment, there is a common concern across the globe around it: how to protect it from further damage? Now more than ever, our planet needs us to step up and take action towards cleaning up many of the messes we have made through irresponsibility. Water, air, and land are essential parts to maintain the ecosystem balance. And trees contribute directly to the environment by providing oxygen, improving air quality, climate amelioration, conserving water, preserving soil, and supporting wildlife. Keeping this in mind, M3M Foundation undertook a plantation drive at Darbaripur hill in Gurugram. Saplings, including Neem, Jamun, Banyan, Sahut and Peepal were planted.
A memorandum of understanding (MOU) was also signed with the Municipal Corporation Gurugram (MCG under the ‘Sankalp’ programme. As per the agreement, M3M Foundation will also renovate a pond located at Palda, and will plant various types of shrubs and trees to make Darbaripur hill area a Biodiversity Park.
