Guwahati: REC Foundation, the CSR arm of REC Ltd., has signed a memorandum of agreement with the Kaziranga Tiger Conservation Foundation to support sustainability measures in Kaziranga National Park and Tiger Reserve.
As part of the agreement, REC Foundation will extend a corporate social responsibility grant of ₹5.43 crore for the installation of solar power plants and reverse osmosis drinking water systems across anti-poaching camps in the park.
