Project Planning & Execution

No of Trees: 100

Plantation Location: Girvi Village, Phaltan Taluka, Satara, Maharashtra 415523

Plantation Date: 9th January 2025 

Name of Species: Mango

Species Selection & Its Benefits: 

The initiative prioritizes the planting of native tree species, ensuring high survival rates and fostering long-term ecological stability. By aligning tree selection with the farmer’s needs and local market demand, the project enhances environmental sustainability while providing a long-term source of income. The farmer's consent and active participation played a crucial role in selecting the tree species, ensuring seamless integration with existing agricultural practices.

For this initiative, a single farmer was supported with the plantation of 100 fruit trees, comprising Mango (Mangifera indica). Mango was selected for its strong market demand, long-term profitability, and ability to thrive in the region’s agro-climatic conditions. Its long productive lifespan ensures sustained income for the farmer, making it an ideal choice for economic stability. 

This thoughtful species selection was made with the farmer’s active participation and consent, ensuring compatibility with existing farming practices and enhancing ecological balance. This approach not only strengthens the farmer’s livelihood but also aligns with ALAN Electronic Systems Pvt. Ltd.’s broader commitment to environmental conservation and rural empowerment.

Planting Methodology and Its Advantages

Agroforestry: ALAN Electronic Systems Pvt. Ltd.’s tree plantation initiative is rooted in the agroforestry concept, a sustainable land management practice that not only benefits the environment but also provides additional income for farmers. By integrating trees with agricultural landscapes, farmers can generate revenue through fruit production, reduce dependency on chemical inputs, and diversify their income streams, ensuring financial resilience for rural communities. Agroforestry enhances soil fertility, improves water retention, and prevents erosion, contributing to long-term ecological stability. It supports biodiversity, promotes natural pest control, and creates favorable microclimates that enhance agricultural productivity by regulating temperature, reducing wind impact, and providing shade. 

As part of its ongoing commitment to global environmental stewardship, ALAN Electronic Systems Pvt. Ltd. recognizes agroforestry as a powerful strategy for carbon sequestration, ecological restoration, and sustainable land management. This approach reflects the organization’s deep-rooted commitment to healing the planet, promoting climate resilience, and empowering communities through nature-based solutions. By integrating tree plantations with agricultural landscapes, ALAN Electronic Systems Pvt. Ltd. actively supports a greener, healthier Earth for current and future generations.
