PEOPLE OUR ASSET & PRIDE |
Each of our tea estates or group is a
completely self-contained community, with its own bazaars, places of
worship, schools, residential lines and hospitals. The complete
workforce is housed on the estates and we provide all amenities. The
plantation workers at our estate are probably the best paid unskilled
agricultural worker in the country, enjoying all the amenities that a
normal industrial worker has and even more, such as provident fund,
gratuity, free housing, crèches, free medical aid and schooling
for the children up to primary level. Worker welfare is a high priority,
which, given the circumstances of distance from urban amenities, is a
necessity. A small township, solely dependent on the tea industry for
its existence, is situated in the center of the district and looks after
the other needs of the population. In addition, recreation clubs are
provided for relaxation after a hard days work. We understand that
happy people make an efficient work force. |
The forest surrounding our estates
teems with wild life. The flora and fauna have been the subject of
studies by people from all over the world. With its mixture of animals
ranging from elephants to the larger cats, including tigers, and from
stag to mouse deer, and not to speak of the varieties of bird and insect
life, this is a veritable paradise. The endangered lion-tailed macaque
has its home here and ranges the jungle in peace. It is not surprising
that managers who worked here from 1929 onwards took pains to preserve
the area in its original condition. Even the planted tea fields were
left with jungle belts between them, unlike other areas under tea. Complementing our commitment for preserving nature, we have made the best use of our resources in safe-guarding the flora and fauna of our virgin forestlands. The Mundanthurai / Kalakkad wildlife reserves have the unique distinction of providing sanctuary to rare and endangered lion-tailed Macaque (Macaca silenus). It is also a protective land for Elephants and Tigers under Project Tiger, besides many other animals |
