ITC to scale up watershed development programme

05 Jun 2015 Evaluate

ITC, one of India's leading multi-business conglomerate, is planning to scale-up its Integrated Watershed Development Programme.  The programme has already brought soil and moisture conservation to half a million acres in the country. The Company targets to double the area to nearly 1 million acres by 2018.

As a result of the measures undertaken, both within its operations and through its Integrated Watershed Development programme beyond the fence, ITC has been a water positive company for the past 13 years. Exemplary water conservation initiatives implemented at its facilities have enabled the company to reduce its water intake progressively over years, despite a significant increase in its production volumes.

ITC's Integrated Watershed Development Programme is part of the Company's Rural development programme that aims at empowering rural communities and augmenting natural resources. The programme has benefited over 1,60,000 households. ITC has also entered into PPPs with state governments and NABARD in five states targeting the coverage of nearly 400,000 acres by 2018. Nearly 50% of this target has already been achieved by 31st March, 2015.

ITC has business a interests in cigarettes, hotels, paperboards and specialty papers, packaging, agri-business, packaged foods and confectionery, information technology, branded apparel, personal care, stationery, safety matches and other FMCG products.
