 We continued to enhance our social and farm forestry initiatives and added nearly 9975 hectares of plantations during 2008-09.
The total social and farm forestry plantations as at March 31, 2009, covered an area of over 90,000 hectares.
Apart from providing sustainable source of raw materials for our Paperboards business and providing over 40 million person days of employment to marginal sections of society, these plantations sequestered 3695 kilotonnes of CO2, thereby consolidating our 'Carbon Positive' status – now for the 4th year in a row.
