IIL Foundation Commits to Planting 10,000 Trees in Bhiwadi under Rajasthan’s Nagar Van Project
08 August 2025, New Delhi: Insecticides (India) Ltd. (IIL), through its CSR arm, IIL Foundation, has undertaken the responsibility of planting and maintaining 10,000 trees in Nagar Van, Bhiwadi. The initiative is part of the Van Mahotsav Hariyalo Rajasthan program, led by the Government of Rajasthan, and will follow the Miyawaki Dense Forest methodology for rapid afforestation.
The plantation drive was inaugurated by Mrs. Shivangi Swarnkar, District Incharge Secretary and Managing Director of RIICO, in the presence of Mr. Kishore Kumar, District Collector; Mr. Atul Prakash, CEO of BIDA; Mr. Prashant Kiran, Police Commissioner; and other senior government officials. Leadership from IIL was represented by Mr. Sanskar Aggarwal and team members including Dr. Mukesh, Mr. Koteshwara Rao, Mr. Ajay Bhavsar, and Mr. Shishir Chandra from the corporate office and Rajasthan manufacturing units.
Speaking on the initiative, Mr. Sanskar Aggarwal said, “As a company engaged in crop protection and nutrition, we recognise the need for restoring green cover, especially in industrial regions. This effort goes beyond tree planting — it contributes to building an oxygen bank and a long-term carbon sink that supports local environmental and public health goals.”
Dr. Mukesh Kumar, Vice President at IIL and project lead, added, “These trees will contribute to improving air quality, sequestering carbon, and strengthening local ecosystems.”
The project builds on IIL Foundation’s earlier efforts, including the establishment of a 4,000-plant mini forest at Chopanki in 2024. The site has since evolved into a community space used for walking, meditation, and yoga.
