NAREDCO has also responded well to the goal of planting 6 crore trees in Maharashtra and has implemented tree plantation campaigns with 1.5 lakh last year. I am happy that Fetri is now known not only in Maharashtra but also in the whole of India as an ideal village and we need to utilize scientific farming to move on and we will definitely help. Today, the Fetri is a model village and later it can be a model agricultural village and people from all over the country will come to see the fields and the same tourism will generate income." - Mrs. Amruta Fadnavis, Ambassador of Green Skyline “NAREDCO has coveted inclination towards maintaining the green fabric of Maharashtra.
