Environment protection
The Company�s commitment to the community reflects in its extensive efforts to save the environment around it by applying the Process Safety Management System (PSMS) and the Quality Management System ISO 9001, besides upgrading ISO 14001 to the 2004 version and developing a green belt by planting 350,000 saplings in 600 acres of land around the plant.
The Rural Girl Child Education Assistance Programme
Under this programme, two meritorious girl students, promoted to class X, selected from 50 schools in six districts (Anantapur, Krishna, Guntur, East Godavari, West Godavari and Nizamabad) of Andhra Pradesh will receive an educational aid of Rs 3000 each for books, uniforms, fees and other educational needs. The programme with a target of covering 780 students in 13 districts of AP during 2006-07 has already taken into its fold 600 female students from 300 government and zilla parishad schools. Besides this 120 students each from two districts of Maharashtra and Karnataka were also given this assistance.
Soil conservation
Acting on the seriously impaired soil condition, GFCL has embarked upon micronutrient soil mapping activities, starting with 10 districts of AP, to help farmers maximise crop yields. It also conducts a systematic farmer education programme to propagate the importance of balanced fertiliser usage.
Godavari Rythu Puraskaram
To bring out the enterprise and competitive spirit of farmers, encourage modern agricultural practices and higher crop yields at a lower cost, GFCL honours farmers in AP with ‘Godavari Rythu Puraskarams’. Awards containing cash prizes of Rs25,000 and Rs10,000 for the best and second best farmer respectively are given in each of the 17 districts. The award is for a crop grown in the district – for example, sugarcane in East Godavari and rice in West Godavari – for a total of 14 crops, based on 15 criteria. It also includes application of fertiliser as per soil, use of green manure, vermi compost, micronutrients, biofertilisers, adoption of best soil and water conservation methods, crop diversification, cultivation of new varieties, saving costs, and others. A committee of officials from the Department of Agriculture, the Agricultural University and GFCL select the winners.
