Over 1000 Bamboo Plantation Drive at Mumbai Port- Green cover

In a significant step towards environmental sustainability, the DIRECTORATE GENERAL OF SHIPPING and the Mumbai Port Authority (MbPA) have jointly launched a large-scale bamboo plantation drive.

Inaugurated on September 18, 2024, the initiative aligns with the Maritime India Vision 2030 and aims to contribute to the government's "Panchamrit" commitments for environmental, economic, and social sustainability.

The plantation drive was marked by the presence of MbPA Chairperson  Rajiv Jalota (IAS). The event also saw participation from environmentalists, industry leaders, and students. DGS Shyam Jagannathan (IAS) extended his best wishes for the success of the drive.

Speaking at the inauguration, Rajiv Jalota emphasized the importance of green initiatives in port operations. "Bamboo, with its rapid growth and environmental benefits, is an ideal choice for our plantation drive. This initiative will not only enhance the green cover around the port but also contribute to carbon sequestration and biodiversity conservation."
