Ensuring Environmental Integrity

Our main focus is on Natural Resource Management & Environmental Conservation. Key programmes include land and water management activities, waste management, and preservation of biodiversity and mitigation of climate change impacts. The programmes are designed with a participatory approach along with inclusion of other partners who provide skills, knowledge, expertise and funds to enhance the effort and reach a larger number of people.

Waste Management  

  • Natural Resource Management
    Every intervention under this pillar is aimed at enhancing economic opportunities through optimal utilization of natural resources, while also reducing negative impact on the environment through waste management.
  • Biodiversity Conservation
    The Mithapur region is known for its natural heritage including coral reefs, lush mangrove stands, turtle nesting beaches, wetlands, bird nesting sites and the scrub forests. TCSRD has been involved in biodiversity conservation initiatives for more than a decade now - protecting and preserving the local flora and fauna.
  • Centre for Sustainable Conservation Action for the Protection of the Ecosystem of the Seas (C-SCAPES)
    To commemorate the 150 years of the Tata Group, C-SCAPES (Centre for Sustainable Conservation Action for the Protection of the Ecosystems of the Seas) was launched with the objective of it becoming a national centre of excellence. C-SCAPES focuses on coastal and marine biodiversity conservation, while at the same time also looks at sustainable livelihoods based on the coastal and marine ecosystem.

Mohan Manaji Hadiyal, 40, owns 12 acres of land and has been engaged in traditional farming for a very long time. Due to lack of knowledge and awareness regarding agriculture development practices his farm yield was low. In 2019, he took part in TCSRD’s awareness programme held in his village, which covered modern farming techniques. Through the programme he learned about different schemes and programmes introduced by the government, TCSRD and other institutions.
