The Kalpavruksha Program is an environmental stewardship and carbon reduction initiative by the Aanav Seva Foundation, developed as a direct, scientific response to rising CO₂ levels and urban air pollution in Pune, Maharashtra. Through this program, we establish green lungs inside urban centers by planting carbon-absorbing trees.
As part of our core campaign, we have successfully planted over 300 Bamboo trees in the Amenity and Biodiversity zones of the Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) campus. Bamboo was chosen strategically for its exceptional oxygen release rate, rapid growth, and superior carbon sequestration capacity. The project actively engages local student groups and community members in environmental education and ongoing tree care to guarantee high survival rates.
Fostering sustainable, scientific carbon offset models that restore ecological balance to Pune's air quality.
We choose high-oxygen bamboo trees that absorb maximum carbon and fit Pune's native environment.
We partner with local college students and volunteers who learn tree care and regularly monitor sapling growth.
We ensure a structured and sustainable intervention, mapping community needs to delivery systems, culminating in regular reviews.
Pinpointing university amenity and biodiversity zones in SPPU with native soil matching carbon absorption targets.
Procuring healthy, resilient bamboo saplings, preparing soil with organic manure, and organizing volunteer plantation drives.
Establishing watering schedules, building protective fencing, and enabling students to oversee weekly growth and soil aeration.
Bamboo is one of the fastest-growing woody plants on earth. It releases up to 35% more oxygen than equivalent trees, features exceptional carbon sequestration capacity, and helps prevent soil erosion in Pune's university zones.
We have successfully established a model ecological zone containing over 300 bamboo saplings in the amenity and biodiversity sectors of the Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) campus.
We actively partner with local university students, NSS coordinators, and residential green clubs. Volunteers are trained in basic arboriculture and run weekly watering and maintenance schedules to ensure maximum sapling survival rates.
