Tripura Lends Hand to Save Soil

We all have been enjoying the gifts from the Divine for ages and hardly bothered about preserving them because all these bounties were in plenty. Now the time has come when we need to save the soil and Tripura lends a helping hand in this global mission.

‘Save Soil’ Campaign – Gaining Momentum
Save Soil is a global movement that is gaining momentum. This talks about land degradation and ways to make the soil healthy. Launched by an Indian spiritual leader Sadhguru and presented on 5 April at the United Nations in Geneva by the Isha Foundation, this Save Soil movement is now supported by the WHO, UN SDG lab, and IUCN. This Global movement is to raise awareness about soil degradation and advocate for bringing the organic matter back to agricultural processes.

Tripura Constructions walks with the world and is always ready to save nature and the environment. This time, the mission is to Save Soil and Tripura is ready to lend a helping hand in this global movement.

Why Save the Soil
The topsoil of our planet including India is in ...
... danger now. Already forty percent of the world’s topsoil has been lost. According to the United Nations, approximately eighty to hundred harvests of soil are left, which means, we can have agriculture only for another forty-five to sixty years. After this, there won’t be any soil to produce food. Drastic sufferings will unfold on the planet if no precautionary measures are taken now.

Tripura Constructions is ready to lend a helping hand to save soil. It can do whatever best possible to repair this situation and bring positive results. It feels that there is a need for soil revitalization if we want to save soil from turning into deserts.

Need for Soil Revitalization
At this crucial moment, we need to revitalize the soil, which might take 15-25 years if we go at it in a hostile way. We need to have Organic Content to build healthy soil. Some fertilizers or a tractor cannot do this job when the soil is about to deplete. It is on the verge of turning into a desert. It needs some organic content which we can get from trees and leaves. The fallen leaves of trees and animal waste will preserve the topsoil. So now, we need to plant trees instead of chopping them down and also have a proper number of animals that are required for this purpose. The old Planning Commission of India has already set the national aspiration, according to which thirty-three percent of India should be under shade if we desire to preserve the soil.

Tripura Lends Hand to Save Soil
Tripura has already jumped on the bandwagon of saving the environment and now Tripura is all set to lend a helping hand in the mission of ‘Save Soil.’

One such accomplishment of Tripura, to save the environment, is its Vertical Gardens at Green Alpha of Tellapur. The green features at Green Alpha reduce the carbon footprints and help the planet. The first Hi-Rise Gated community with its vertical forest theme is Green Alpha of Tripura, at Tellapur. Vertical gardens help to save electricity and keep the atmosphere and the houses cool in summers and warm in winters. They serve as insulation to buildings. They keep the atmosphere pollution free, both noise and air pollution are taken care of. Planting Vertical gardens is a popular and modern concept that is utilized in Green Alpha by Tripura Constructions. These plants and trees improve both indoor and outdoor air quality by removing harmful volatile organic compounds and absorbing pollutants.

They are also aesthetically gratifying to the eyes and impart beauty to the environment. Vertical gardens also have an amazing environmental impact in saving and protecting them.

Tripura realises that it has a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in the community and it will lend its share in saving the environment and the soil. It has already taken operational initiative in the environmental and social categories. Now that the Global Movement is launched to Save Soil, Tripura Constructions is ready to lend a helping hand in this global mission.
