Banai: The 77th Van Mahotsav 2026 was celebrated with great fervor at MGM Minerals Ltd. under the Koira Range. The event was held in the esteemed presence of Shri Jashabant Sethi, DFO, Banai.
This event scripted success in marking a significant milestone in the region’s environmental conservation efforts. Together, the dignitaries and the MGM team reaffirmed their commitment to a greener, healthier, and more sustainable future through a massive tree plantation drive, which included the development of a dedicated mango orchard.
This initiative highlights how the MGM Group is on an overdrive to fulfill the visionary commitment of Shri Pankaj Lochan Mohanty, CMD of MGM Group. Shri Mohanty has long championed a clear vision for Green Steel and comprehensive nature care, ensuring that industrial progress goes hand in hand with ecological stewardship.
Under his leadership, the group is aggressively expanding its green drive by adopting zero-discharge strategies, implementing advanced dust suppression, and investing heavily in environmental sustainability across its operational sites.
As part of this ongoing mission, MGM Group is actively amplifying the state-wide ecological goals set by the State Government led by Chief Minister Shri Mohan Charan Majhi. The administration has placed a massive emphasis on community-driven afforestation, aligning perfectly with MGM’s corporate philosophy.
It is truly commendable to see dedicated administrative officers making a tangible difference on the ground. Shri Jashabant Sethi’s efforts as a Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) highlight a crucial approach to modern governance—balancing necessary industrial and mining development with rigorous environmental conservation.
MGM Group invites everyone to join in celebrating the 77th Van Mahotsav through the Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam 3.0 campaign. Every sapling planted today is a promise for tomorrow, safeguarding the environment for future generations. Backed by the robust environmental policies of the state government, MGM Group is striving hard to make this campaign a massive success, proving that dedication to nature can yield a lasting, sustainable legacy
