What was once an almost-dumpyard in Shakurpur has been transformed into a greener, cleaner space through collective action. In collaboration with the Hon’ble Lieutenant Governor of Delhi, Vrikshit Foundation led a comprehensive cleanup and plantation initiative at the site. Our volunteers worked to remove accumulated waste and clear the area, creating a healthier foundation for its revival. This was followed by plantation activities to gradually transform the neglected space into a green, forest-like landscape. With the support of the Delhi Government, MCD, volunteers, and the local community, the project turned a neglected dumping spot into a space with the potential to grow into a thriving urban green zone. The transformation is a reminder that even the most neglected spaces can be revived when communities, institutions, and citizens come together with a shared vision for a cleaner and greener Delhi.

A documented timeline of the precision, collaboration, and dedication that defined this project's success.
What was meant to be a public park had gradually turned into an open dumping ground, covered with piles of waste and surrounded by stray cattle. The accumulated garbage created foul smell and unhygienic conditions, making the space unpleasant, unsafe, and almost unusable for the local community.
The space has now been transformed into a cleaner, greener, and more welcoming public park. After clearing the accumulated waste, we revitalised the area through plantation, adding new greenery and giving the once-neglected space a fresh lease of life. What was once an unhygienic dumping ground is now becoming a healthier and more pleasant space for the local community.
