NMDC has specially appointed officers to monitor the environmental performances and guide the Projects for maintaining good environmental practices and to adopt newer, safe and cleaner technologies. They also started afforestation on a planned pattern in consultation with Divisional Forest Officer (Social forestry) of concerned areas with the objectives such as increasing the density around the project & township, stabilization of degraded lands & waste dumps for preventing soil erosion, rehabilitated of mined out areas, improving the condition of the catchment areas and stream courses and aesthetic look of the township areas.
