Biodiversity
Park for Dehu

Biodiversity Park is not a conventional city park or a botanical garden but eco-restoration programme. It is planned on ecosystem principles where introduced, selected plant species are encouraged to develop into healthy ecosystem that in due course of time create opportunities for the other biotic components to move in.

INDRAYANI - proposed River Cleaning Project

The river Indrayani has inspired great saints of Maharashtra like Dnyaneshwar, Eknat, Namdev, Tukaram
Their teachings are the backbone of Maharashtra’s culture
In present condition river is highly degraded & needs attention
We believe the restoration of this river will help reviving Maharashtra’s cultural heritage
OCF was instrumental in cleaning of a small river near Pavas and on the similar line with public participation we intend the restoration of river Indrayini
