~ 1,942 cattle diagnosed and vaccinated benefitting over 300 families~
Coastal Gujarat Power Ltd (CGPL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Power, recently organised Brucellosis Control Programme, with partner agencies Abhiyan and National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) in Mundra and Mandavi Block to improve livestock management practices and control Brucellosis. The programme diagnosed and vaccinated 1,942 cattle (cows and buffaloes) along with benefitting over 300 families.
Bovine Brucellosis is a chronic infectious disease that causes cattle ailments including reduced milking cycle. Partnership with NDDB and Abhiyan based on the convergence model led to launch of project Samriddhi which was implemented in four stages - a) Create awareness and training b) Testing for disease c) Disinfection & d) Vaccination and tagging of female calf. Due to the efforts under this initiative, there has been improvement in the milking cycle of the milching cattle population.
“Tata Power undertook Samriddhi Initiative to help community adopt improved livestock management practices as it is one of their key livelihood option. Such programmes enable us to reinforce our commitment towards the communities engaged in raising livestock in our areas of operation. We are thankful to Abhiyan and NDDB for their collaborative effort,” said, Mr Praveer Sinha, CEO&MD, Tata Power.
Coastal Gujarat Power Limited (CGPL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tata Power Ltd, has implemented the 4000 MW (800 x 5 units) UMPP near the port city of Mundra in the state of Gujarat in India. This UMPP is India's first 800 MW unit thermal power plant using supercritical technology and is arguably the most energy-efficient, coal-based thermal power plant in the country. As per the bidding norms, the Project was designed to be run on imported coal. The Project is expected to benefit close to 16 million domestic consumers apart from supplying cost-competitive power to industry and agriculture. The Project will supply power to five states namely Gujarat, Rajasthan and Maharashtra in Western India and to Haryana and Punjab in Northern India, which are currently facing a shortage of electricity. It will provide a competitive source of power and help meet these states' growing demand for electricity. Reliable power from the project will help improve the competitiveness of the manufacturing and services industries, which often rely on expensive standby diesel generation to meet their power needs. Competitively priced power will also improve access to electricity in rural and urban areas while reducing the subsidy burden on the state Governments.
