I am Gurgaon

Amid all the videos of Gurugram being flooded by heavy rains, this video went viral for showing a simple solution to not just avoid water logging, but also to recharge the underground water table.

The land lay barren save for the invasive Vilayati Keekar that prevented native trees from growing. Thanks to Vijay's efforts, the range is today a self-sufficient ecosystem of over 200 plant species that needs no human intervention!

Efforts over the last three years, have resulted in the defunct bund being transformed into a linear park with tracks for walking and cycling, which connect the city’s residential neighbourhoods.

With the help of the government, citizens, and the corporate sector, an NGO named ‘I am Gurgaon’ has managed to revive a forest on 350 acres of land -- right in the middle of the city of Gurgaon.
