    Jharsuguda (Odisha) [India], May 26: Vedanta Aluminium, India’s largest producer of aluminium, marked World Bee Day by organising a vibrant community event in Laikera, Jharsuguda, bringing together more than 50 local farmers who are part of its Vedamrit Honey Cluster Development Project. It was an occasion to spread awareness on the indispensable role of bees in natural ecosystems, while recognising efforts to aid their preservation through sustainable beekeeping.

    The United Nations has designated May 20 as World Bee Day to underscore the crucial role played by bees in the natural pollination process, making them essential globally in ensuring food security and preserving biodiversity. It is also an occasion to recognise the increasing threats faced by bees, and identify community-led avenues for their continued preservation.

    The event organised by Vedanta was attended by officials from the Agriculture and Horticulture Departments, along with employees from Vedanta Jharsuguda and several community members. It featured expert-led training sessions on scientific methods of honey extraction, sustainable apiculture practices, and the positive ecological impact of beekeeping. Participating farmers also discussed opportunities around market linkages, improved storage facilities, and product diversification. As part of the occasion, farmers who achieved the highest revenue from honey production were also honoured with mementos and financial rewards.

    Speaking about the initiative, Sunil Gupta, COO, Vedanta Aluminium, said, “Beekeeping can be a powerful tool for supporting both ecological sustainability and rural prosperity. Through the Vedamrit Honey project, we are enabling farmers in rural Odisha to build resilient livelihoods while helping maintain ecological balance. It reflects our deep commitment to inclusive and sustainable development within the communities that we operate in.”

    One of the beneficiaries, Harsh Kumar Patel, a farmer from Laikera, shared, “Beekeeping has boosted my income and improved my farm’s productivity, enabling me to provide for my family through an additional source of livelihood. I am grateful to Vedanta for providing us with the knowledge and support to succeed.”

    Vedamrit Honey is a high-quality, all-natural honey crafted by skilled bee farmers of Laikera, operating under the Laikera HoneyFed Farmer Producer Organization (FPO). The initiative empowers local farmers by training them in modern beekeeping practices, providing them with  high-quality bee species, honeybee boxes, and comprehensive training in honey rearing.

    Through such initiatives, Vedanta continues to foster grassroots development, driving positive change in the lives of local communities while nurturing a sustainable future. Vedanta’s social interventions in the domains of education, healthcare, livelihood, skill development, grassroots sports, art & culture, with a focus on women and child development, reach out to nearly 80 villages in and around Jharsuguda, benefiting over 5 lakh people each year.

It is a leader in value-added aluminium products that find critical applications in core industries.
