Jindal Stainless Foundation (JSF), the Corporate Social Responsibility arm of Jindal Stainless, along with Prabhaav Foundation, has taken up multiple sustainable initiatives to restore, develop, maintain, and preserve the iconic OP Jindal Memorial Park in Hisar, Haryana. The development has led the park to fulfill Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11.7 set by the United Nations (UN). SDG 11.7 aims to provide universal access to safe, inclusive, and accessible green and public spaces, in particular for women and children, older persons and persons with disabilities by 2030.
Chairperson, JSF, Ms Deepika Jindal, who unveiled a book on the efforts undertaken at the park in Hisar today said, “For us, practicing sustainability is not a corporate obligation, but a social responsibility. There is an alarming need for everyone to be conscious towards the environment and take active steps to preserve it. Jindal Stainless Foundation takes great pride in restoring a society-friendly park that not only welcomes everyone, but also helps restore the environment. I am thankful to our implementation partner Prabhaav Foundation, who have helped us bring a positive impact on the soil of Hisar. We further plan to develop a herbal garden, meditation centre, jogging track, and carry forth our green initiatives to convert this into a ‘zero waste park’.”
Set up in the fond memory of Founder, Jindal Group conglomerate, Late Shri OP Jindal, the OP Jindal Memorial park sports a combination of traditional and modern ideas – plantations, water conservation, composting, landscaping, mural art, stainless steel installations, and other art installations. JSF has upgraded various facilities and introduced new ones at the OP Jindal Park like solar lamps, boundary walls, street access, ramps, sanitation, and green cover. Steered by co-founders Ms Parul Kumar and Ms Vandana Lakhanpal, Prabhaav Foundation is the implementation partner for this project and is maintaining the park along with JSF.
