Amritsar: Fully aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Advance India Projects Limited (AIPL), a pioneer in real estate development, continues a unique plantation drive ‘Trees of Joy’, in Punjab, under which a micro forest of 550 saplings of 35 Native Species of Punjab is being planted as per Miyawaki (Japanese method) at Amritsar's AIPL Dream City NXT located on NH-1, Delhi-Amritsar Highway, on land owned by Vishnurupa Developers Private Limited. This plantation is being carried out by AIPL in collaboration with ECO-SIKH an 80G approved charitable society that works to mitigate the threats of climate change and deterioration of the natural environment.
The drive, "Trees of Joy" started with a
plantation of 550 saplings held in presence of Mandeep Kaur Tangra, CEO,
SmartQuartz, and Dr. Inderjit Kaur, Patron-President, All India Pingalwara
Charitable Society ( Registered),
“We
are committed to increase the green cover in AIPL Dream City NXT. These
continuous plantation drives are aimed to highlight the fact that environmental
degradation is a serious challenge that can only be addressed collectively.
Like AIPL Dream City NXT, which is a sustainable green township, other urban
infrastructure developers must also come forward and get aggressive in
promoting a vibrant and green ecosystem,” Said Dalbir Bedi, Sales &
Leasing Head, AIPL, Punjab.
The
Miyawaki methodology creates dense forests and is based on the potential
natural vegetation of the area. The idea to plant Mini Forests is that
forests are nature's carbon sink. The trees in dense forests sequester carbon
from the surroundings and store
it in their bark, trunk, leaves, stems, roots, etc. A self-sustainable dense
native forest is the most
effective way to control the rising carbon footprint.
AIPL Dream City NXT, is a sustainable green
township with 5 acres of dedicated greens and approximately 10.3
acres of spread-out greens along the roads that provide shaded
driveways, create scenic avenues along with other features like continuous
central greens, pedestrian-focused streets to promote a healthy lifestyle.
Planning of the township has been done in a way to make
AIPL Dream City NXT, a unique ‘one-with-nature’ residential project. On-site
water management facilities are designed to increase the environmental
awareness of how waste can be used as a resource for creating a circular
economy and all organic waste can be transformed into bio-compost and used as
manure for the soft areas.
Water is another natural resource that has again been
planned meticulously in the landscape areas of the township. Planned as a
zero-runoff campus, all the rainwater falling in the township is channeled
through natural swales – which allow the water to percolate into the ground to
recharge the underground aquifers – this is further aided by rain gardens –
which allow excess water to fill up and gradually percolate.
The idea is to provide the new generation with amenities
for a healthy, and active lifestyle. With green shaded avenue planting on the
roads to ensure shade and prevent heat-island-effect, this ecological township
aspires to set the best standards in the real estate sector of
