Lincoln Bennet Rodrigues, Chairman & Founder, The Bennet & Bernard Company, commented on the efforts, “Being a strong proponent of creating a sustainable and self-reliant society, the Group has launched multiple projects in the last couple of years for the wellbeing and development of people in Goa and its surrounding areas. This association with TERI is another step forward towards establishing a self-sufficient community across Goa and extended territories.”
As a part of their social impact initiatives the Bennet and Bernard Group pledges to support and cultivate aquaculture to improve the livelihood of the people of Goa. In this collaboration, the Group will be providing capital, resource, logistical support, and other local support as required while TERI will bring the expertise and knowledge of conducting the entire program at the grassroots level and training the local hires.
Dr Fraddry D’souza, Area Convenor, Coastal Ecology & Marine Resources Centre – TERI, Goa, said, “Harnessing the local human and natural resources for the greater good of the society is the need of the hour. This pact with Bennet and Bernard is the perfect example of an alliance between the knowledge and application of technology with the organic habitat. We are hopeful that this collaboration will help in not only social but also economic development of the area.”
