Renault Nissan Automotive India Private Limited (RNAIPL) plans to rejuvenate five additional water bodies in and around Oragadam on World Environment Day. These water bodies are in addition to the ten lakes and ponds in the Oragadam/ Kanchipuram area that RNAIPL had already committed to revitalise in 2023, bringing the total number of water bodies protected and enhanced by RNAIPL as part of its environmental commitment to 15.
As part of its latest commitment, RNAIPL will rejuvenate five more water bodies in the locality of Ezhichur, Kaduvanchery, Vanchuvanchery, Nariyampakkam villages during FY2024. These lakes will undergo comprehensive restoration measures aimed at improving water retention, enhancing biodiversity, and providing local communities with access to fresh drinking water. Keerthi Prakash, Managing Director, RNAIPL, said, “We believe in the power of collective action and initiatives like these can create a lasting positive impact on the ecosystem and the lives of people around us.”
RNAIPL has completed nine out of ten lakes and ponds in Oragadam, Kanchipuram district, to restore and rejuvenate them. The project, which is expected to be completed by 2024, has enhanced water resources and biodiversity for neighboring communities. The lake at Oragadam is also being beautified, with park benches installed to create a serene space for the community to enjoy.
