## Answers

### Answer by Stuti Gupta

> **Kandla Special Economic Zone (KASEZ), the nation's earliest exporting zone, has become India's 'first green industrial city,' receiving a platinum certification under the IGBC Green Cities Rating for city centers in the area of the industrial town.**

## Initiatives that assisted Kasez in achieving this Status

- **Green Coverage:** In comparison to the 25,000 trees in KASEZ in 2019, the 1000-odd acres have 3.5 lakh trees. The majority of these trees were planted after 2019 utilizing the Miyawaki forestation [**technique**](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/93922/why-c-sharp-programmers-use-properties-technique-in-c-sharp-programming).
- **Bird and tree species:** On a patch of property that was formerly a salt pan with practically little flora, KASEZ managed to develop 68 types of trees and attract 28 sorts of birds, which were also inspected and numbered.
- **Salt Pan Expansion Stopped:** The SEZ hindered the development of salt pan beyond Kandla. The **planting** of trees aided in the reduction of salt and the improvement of topsoil quality. The water became a little salty improving the trees' growth. Water collection technologies were also utilized.

- **Use of Plastic Waste:** KASEZ used plastic garbage to line the artificial water bodies built inside the region to avoid water seepage and mixing with the salty water.
- **Energy Conservation:** The SEZ's solar energy and LED lighting projects were also among the elements that led to the IGBC certification.
