NDMC Develops 'Bharat Van' Miyawaki Urban Forest in Delhi's Lodhi Colony
The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) is developing 'Bharat Van,' a one-acre urban forest in Lodhi Colony using the Miyawaki method, planting around 10,000 indigenous species suited to Delhi's climate. The project includes spaces for yoga and meditation and aims to create dense vegetation quickly to enhance biodiversity and support local wildlife. Guided by environmentalist R K Nair, this is described as New Delhi's first Miyawaki forest, following similar plantations across the city by various agencies.
