Smriti Van

Municipal Cremation Centre, Badagada, Bhubaneswar, Odisha 

Forest of Remembrance

Under the Main Project: Bhubaneswar is Calling for Help

Save Bhubaneswar Before It Heats Beyond Repair

Smriti Van – Forest of Remembrance is a unique urban forest initiative that transforms a place of remembrance into a living legacy of hope, healing, and environmental restoration.

Under this project, 1,800 native trees will be planted across a 20,000 sq. ft. area within the Municipal Cremation Centre, Badagada, Bhubaneswar, using the scientifically proven  Miyawaki Dense Forest Method.

More than a plantation project, Smriti Van is a tribute to loved ones and a gift to future generations. The dense urban forest will help improve air quality, reduce urban heat, enhance biodiversity, and create a peaceful green environment within the city.

Why This Project Matters

Bhubaneswar is facing rising temperatures, shrinking green cover, and increasing environmental stress. Smriti Van will help:

  • Reduce urban heat and pollution
  • Improve air quality and oxygen levels
  • Support biodiversity and ecological balance
  • Create a peaceful and green urban space
  • Strengthen climate resilience
  • Contribute towards Net Zero India by 2070

Plantation Model

  • Miyawaki Dense Forest Technique
  • Native and climate-resilient tree species
  • Scientific plantation and tree protection
  • 3-year maintenance and monitoring

Expected Impact

1,800 new native trees

Cleaner air and lower temperatures

Increased biodiversity

Improved environmental quality

Annual carbon absorption of approximately 36,000 Kg CO₂e

A living memorial for generations to come

Plant a Tree. Create a Legacy.

Every tree planted in Smriti Van becomes a symbol of remembrance, hope, and environmental stewardship.

Memories live in our hearts. Forests keep them alive for generations.

Remember. Restore. Rejuvenate.

Completion & Canopy Inspection

The designated restoration plot zone has formally reached final milestone metrics. Soil testing indicates highly stable moisture absorption rates, and comprehensive local drone imaging verifies successful coverage baseline setups across the entire project area.

Community Sapling Plantation Drive

Over 250 local community volunteers, environmental researchers, and local group sponsors gathered on-site to successfully ground and securely anchor native mangrove variety saplings across our secondary coastal flood grid lanes.
