 The Chowgule Group
has been in the forefront for the protection of the environmental.
Indeed environmental conservation is an integral part
of their mining activity in Goa.
Chowgules have pioneered the development of 'Green
Belts' in mined out areas and along embankments of tailing
ponds in operation mines at Goa. This has awakened the
consciousness among all connected with mining, to preserve
environment around mining areas. During every monsoon,
large scale plantation of trees is undertaken. Towards
this objective, they have developed their own nurseries
at mine sites. More than one lakh seedlings, representing
25 species are raised every year. These species of saplings
can grow in diverse soil conditions and add to the scenic
beauty of the surroundings, thus rapidly changing the
landscape of barren mining areas.
A Group build on foundations of ceaseless endeavor and
foresight, besides speeding up the pace of industrialisation,
has created employment opportunities, respects environment
and most importantly, discharges social responsibility.
