Fire Prevention and Sustainability
In the rugged terrains of Uttarakhand, the accumulation of dry pine needles, particularly Perul, significantly elevates the risk of wildfires. These fires not only threaten local communities but also wreak havoc on the region's biodiversity and ecological balance. The Chir Pine, known for its highly flammable needles (Perul), dominates the lower altitudes of the Himalayas and is a major contributor to the fire hazard. The situation is further exacerbated by factors such as human negligence, dry weather conditions, and the heatwave effect in districts like Champawat and Nainital. To mitigate this risk, we initiated a collaborative effort with the Forest Division, Nainital, to collect Perul. This endeavours not only aims to prevent wildfires but also provides employment opportunities, particularly for women, in these regions. Utilising Perul as fuel in our Power Boilers, we collected a record-breaking 330 Metric tonnes.



Other Initiatives
Responding to the severe cold weather in Thakurdwara, we acted by distributing 800 blankets to disadvantaged families, providing them with warmth and comfort through the winter months. Additionally, we initiated a programme to distribute eucalyptus cones to farmers, aimed at preventing soil erosion and promoting greenery, thus fostering social forestry initiatives. This dual-purpose endeavour not only supports farmers but also contributes to environmental conservation efforts, in line with our commitment to creating eco-social value.
Moreover, we provided financial assistance of ₹ 3.5 lakhs to Smt. Nirmala Devi, enabling her participation in the Para Lawn Ball event at the Para Asian Games held in China. This support, facilitated in response to a request from the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM), Haldwani, stresses on our perseverance to support individuals in their pursuit of excellence and inclusivity on the international stage.
Stakeholder Interaction and Grievance Redressal
We actively engage with stakeholders to understand community needs. Through meetings and complaint drop boxes, we engage with community groups, addressing their specific concerns and promoting transparency in our actions. Conducting 'Need' assessment surveys enables us to tailor our initiatives to effectively address specific requirements.

We appreciate the entire staff of Birla Vanya for the process of registration of our property on time and special thanks to the team as they did everything on time.
Customer Birla Vanya, Kalyan


I had a dream of owning a house in Mumbai as I stay in Bangkok; and Birla Niyaara will be making that dream come true after so many years. In this journey, your assigned broker and Birla Estates' sales executive gave me all details about the project and since I was not in Mumbai, they virtually showed the project to me and my family on a well organised zoom session.
After I decided to buy, I was helped with all the paperwork and documents by the relationship manager online. Finally, when I arrived in Mumbai for the registration purpose, the relationship manager was extremely helpful in showing me around the whole project and going with me for the registration process. All my doubts and queries were answered to my utmost satisfaction. I am really happy to be a part of the Birla Niyaara family.
Customer, Birla Niyaara, Worli, Mumbai
