There are multiple facets to environment conservation. The environment in which we work has been of utmost importance to us. We live by our values and create innovative and eco-friendly products at the same time focusing on sustainable resource management. Astral Foundation is committed to implementing relevant measures to mitigate the risks of climate change associated with our business.
We believe that when we think of saving nature, we are saving ourselves. We work in partnership with communities to preserve ecosystems. We supported The Rotary club Ahmedabad Metro Charitable Trust through contribution to the ‘I Save Water Campaign’ project. By focusing on the development of the natural environment, we envision a sustainable future for India.
Project Aquarius is the flagship project of Astral Foundation. Under this project, Astral has donated solar-powered pumps that provide drinking water for animals and people living in arid regions of forests throughout India. We initiated this project along with the earth brigade foundation for the Kanha national park in Madhya Pradesh. As part of this project, three new solar pump sets with a capacity of two horsepower have been installed at Baisanghat barrier, Karonda Kachar, and Ghuri Ghat. Additionally, repairs and expansions of pipelines at Jhoolar, Adwar, and Ghorella in Kanha Tiger Reserve will replenish existing waterholes that have dried up in forests. Furthermore, we are exploring methods for creating and deepening ponds to capture rainwater. This provides additional support and goes a long way in wildlife conservation.
