CSR / CER Advisory in Mumbra, Thane.

CSR money in Mumbra can do something the ward badly needs: green the bare stretches of the Parsik hill above the settlements, with the consent of the Forest Department or the landowner and with the people living below involved from the start. Native trees, grass on steep ground and small check dams across gullies slow the rain that now runs straight down. Upkeep through the first dry seasons decides whether any of it lasts. We arrange permission, plant and water with local crews, and report survival honestly.

Mumbra is a TMC ward on a narrow strip of land between the Parsik hills and the creek, east of Kalwa, with the railway running along the water's edge and the Mumbra bypass cut into the hill above. It is among the most densely built parts of the city: mid-rise buildings packed into lanes, older settlements, and busy market streets near the station. The hill rises steeply behind, with the Mumbra Devi shrine near its top and houses on its lower slopes. Kausa, to the south, continues the same pattern, and new building is still going up at the ward's edges.
