Project Planning & Execution

No of Trees: 648

Plantation Location: Rajpur, District Barwani, Madhya Pradesh 451447

Plantation Date: 22nd July 2025

Name of Species: Teak

Species Selection & Its Benefits: 

In this initiative, a native and agro-climatically suitable tree species was chosen to ensure high survival rates, ecological balance, and economic value. The selection took into account local soil conditions, climate, and the farmer’s preferences, enabling smooth integration into the existing agricultural system.

The farmers were supported with the plantation of Teak, a premium timber species renowned for its durability, strength, and resistance to pests and decay. Teak holds exceptional market value, making it a reliable source of long-term income while contributing to sustainable forestry practices.

This focused species choice enhances biodiversity, supports sustainable farming, and strengthens rural livelihoods, reflecting RPG Life Sciences’ commitment to environmental restoration.

Planting Methodology and Its Advantages

Agroforestry: To reinforce its enduring commitment to environmental sustainability, RPG Life Sciences launched a tree plantation initiative inspired by the principles of agroforestry, an ecologically sound approach that integrates trees into agricultural ecosystems. Through the strategic planting of native, fruit-bearing, and timber species, this green initiative enhances biodiversity, restores soil fertility, and contributes to carbon sequestration, while also supporting long-term community resilience. Aligned with the company’s Go Green Initiative, this effort reflects RPG Life Sciences’ vision of extending its healing touch beyond pharmaceuticals to the planet itself. It stands as a living testament to the company’s dedication to nurturing both human health and environmental well-being, cultivating a greener, more sustainable future for generations to come.

Advantages of Agroforestry

  • Increased Farmer Incomes: This approach helps increase farmers' income by as much as 3 times. Farmers benefit from diversified income sources, lifting economic resilience.

  • Sustainable Livelihoods: Farmers benefit from diversified income sources through the sale of fruits and other tree-based products, reducing dependence on a single crop.

  • Enhanced Biodiversity: Agroforestry creates a diverse ecosystem by integrating trees with crops, attracting pollinators, birds, and beneficial insects that support natural pest control.

  • Environmental Sustainability: This model reduces carbon emissions and promotes sustainable land management, aligning with SDG 13 (Climate Action) and SDG 15 (Life on Land).

  • Food Security & Nutritional Benefits: Fruit-bearing trees provide a direct source of food, improving local nutrition while supporting long-term agricultural productivity.

  • Carbon Sequestration & Climate Resilience: Trees absorb carbon dioxide, helping mitigate climate change while providing shade and windbreaks that reduce temperature extremes and improve microclimatic conditions.

  • Soil Health and Water Conservation: Tree roots prevent soil erosion, enhance water retention, and improve soil fertility by fixing nitrogen and adding organic matter. Agroforestry systems also support groundwater recharge, reduce runoff, and improve soil moisture retention, making them ideal for drought-prone regions.
