BENGALURU: Taking a cue from the Go Green initiative of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Rajasthan Royals has committted to planting one million saplings across the state of Rajasthan.
This initiative will be undertaken in association with government of Rajasthan and other NGOs that will work towards creating rural futures and develop the community as a whole.
The Rajasthan Royal Team will start planting saplings across the periphery of the Sawai Mansingh stadium, its home venue, followed by various locations across the state.
Further, they will spread awareness regarding green issues – carpooling, rainwater harvesting and waste management.
Ranjit Barthakur, Executive Chairman, Rajasthan Royals, speaking on the Go Green initiative of Royal Challengers Bangalore, said: “The relentless Go-Green approach of RCB has brought together great changes in common perceptions. This environment is ours. The pillar of social responsibility is directly entwined with environmental sustainability.
“We are thankful to Amrit Thomas and RCB for having chosen RR for their annual Go Green match.”
Barthakur added: “RR has been very participative and conscious towards ensuring that all efforts are aligned towards preserving Mother Nature in whatever possible way we can. We will work towards making our facilities pro-environment and for this we would like to ask all our stakeholders to pay detailed attention to energy efficient measures and sustainable operations to better manage waste, water and other sources of energy.
“Sports bring communities together. Rajasthan Royals as a socially responsible franchise aims to find avenues to build a healthy environment with the support of all relevant stakeholders and its fans and followers. A Go Green garden will soon be in the making to support the Go Green initiative of Royal Challengers Bangalore.”
