First prize for Chemplast's industrial garden at Karaikal
The "Industrial Garden" of Chemplast Sanmar at Karaikal was awarded the 2nd prize at the 18th Annual Vegetable and Fruit show organised by the Puducherry Government held at Karaikal in 2018. Chemplast was recommended for the recognition by a team of experts from the Jawaharlal Nehru Agricultural College, Karaikal, who visited the plant. They adjudged Chemplast Sanmar's spread of green around their plant as one of the best in the "Industrial Garden" category. The annual event recognises individuals, households, farmers and industries for their efforts at greening their surroundings.
The Karaikal plant of Chemplast, which has a green belt of over 16 acres, also houses over 3500 trees. The support and active participation of the local community, has helped in the process. Chemplast acknowledges the support of the local community and traditional know-how with the organisation's will and inclination towards the cause of environment, which has helped in the task of dealing with a difficult terrain. The casuarinas and Korean grass, a welcome sight at the plant, are testimony to these efforts.
