Completed CSR Projects

Overall, it can be concluded that the project was extremely challenging but successful. The lake has changed since the plantation. Bird calls in the background have now calmed the entire lake atmosphere. Plants are growing well and flowering profusely, which suggests that the soil is fertile and the climate is ideal for the plantation. Domesticated animals have been replaced with aquatic bird nests in the lake. Around the lake, butterflies can be seen fluttering. The grass that was planted along the lake's edge has grown and begun to bloom, adding beauty to the lake. The lake's biodiversity has expanded, and the water quality is getting better.  Our efforts have been well received by the community, and they are really pleased with how the lake has changed. They have started taking morning and evening strolls around the lake. All we can do is hope that upon the project's completion, the local communities would take good care of the lake. We felt honoured to participate in the DCB award ceremony for the best corporate-NGO partnership.

   It was a year-long project for developing a butterfly habitat for Yusuf Meherally Centre at Tara for DCB Bank's CSR project. The project concluded on a greener note. The plantation helped to increase the floral diversity of the Yusuf Meharally Centre. The rich floral diversity led towards an increase in the faunal diversity such as birds, bees, and other insects groups besides butterflies. The total number of the plants has increased to 1356 from 1078, recorded priorly during the review done in March 2019. This increase is due to the regeneration of plants like Jamaican spike and miracle leaf. Altogether, there was just 2% mortality recorded. The healthy survival rate of the plants has enriched the habitat and makes it lushes green. Since the start of the project, there has been an increase in 10 butterfly species making 41 species in total. The garden was also visited by over more than 1750 students, teachers and citizens.
