GNIDA Miyawaki forest corridor

Urban Forest

GNIDA Miyawaki Forest Development

The challenge: a barren industrial-edge site offered little shade, ecological value, or public inspiration. What changed: four acres were planted and managed as a dense native forest that is now a strong local example.

  • Greater Noida
  • 4 acres
  • Native forest approach
  • Native species were selected to establish a dense, layered ecosystem rather than a cosmetic plantation strip.
  • Monitoring tracks survival and ecological progress so the site can be managed with clear records.
  • The project now serves as a practical reference for similar city restoration work.

Landscape & Public Experience

National Railway Museum Landscape Development

The challenge: a high-footfall public campus needed greener circulation, more biodiversity, and a better visitor experience. What changed: the museum landscape became more welcoming, shaded, and ecologically diverse.

  • Delhi NCR
  • Public campus
  • Visitor-friendly landscape
  • Landscape design balanced heritage character with practical improvements to comfort and biodiversity.
  • Pollinator-friendly planting and shaded zones improved how people move through and pause in the site.
  • Volunteer participation and interpretation elements helped extend the project into public education.

Public Awareness

World Health Organization - Mercury Pollution Awareness Drive

The challenge: mercury risks are poorly understood in many homes and schools. What changed: targeted school and community sessions helped people recognize hazards and respond more safely.

  • Delhi NCR
  • Schools and RWAs
  • Environmental health education
  • Sessions reached schools, resident groups, and senior citizens through practical examples and guided discussion.
  • Teachers received tools that helped extend awareness beyond one-time events.
  • The program connected public health concerns with day-to-day environmental responsibility.

Community Engagement

Aranya Green Belt Project

The challenge: a barren site offered little ecological or community value. What changed: regular plantation, cleanup, and local participation turned it into a green belt that people continue to maintain.

  • Delhi NCR
  • Community stewardship
  • Green-belt revival
  • Corporate volunteers and civic partners helped establish the first phase of visible change.
  • Children and residents were involved so the site grew into a community-owned effort rather than a one-time activity.
  • Cleanliness, eco-art, and recurring activation helped the green belt stay active in public memory.

Bhandwari water body restoration and revitalization

Water Body Revival

Bhandwari Water Body – Restoration & Revitalization

The challenge: the water body had degraded and needed structural and ecological care to become useful again. What changed: restoration work stabilised the basin and improved its role as a neighbourhood ecological asset.

  • Delhi NCR
  • Lake restoration
  • Neighbourhood commons
  • Cleaning, desilting, and structural repairs addressed the immediate health of the site.
  • Planting around the edge supported biodiversity and improved how the water body sits within the local landscape.
  • The project now demonstrates a practical approach to urban water restoration.

School Transformation

Hara Vidyalaya Initiative

The challenge: many schools want environmental education to be practical, not abstract. What changed: Hara Vidyalaya introduced visible waste systems and student-led climate habits across 279+ schools.

  • 279+ Delhi NCR schools
  • Waste systems
  • Student eco-leadership
