In a significant push to enhance civic awareness and environmental responsibility, the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) is preparing to roll out the “Swachhata Park 2.0” initiative an expanded version of its celebrated cleanliness themed learning park located at Nisarg Udyan in Sector 14, Koparkhairane.
Built on a former dumping ground and inaugurated in October 2018, Swachhata Park has transformed into a green educational hub with over 1.5 lakh indigenous trees and creative installations made from electronic waste.
Now, with the 2.0 vision, NMMC is set to make the park more immersive, interactive, and digitally empowered.
"The upgrades are designed not just to sustain awareness, but to turn the park into a self-sustaining model through rental-based exhibition halls and compost sales. Swachhata Park 2.0 will serve as an advanced learning center for students, a tourist attraction, and a live demonstration site for urban waste solutions,” said an NMMC spokesperson
Key components of the upgrade include:
Digital Information Boards to display waste segregation tips, plant species data, and sustainability best practices.
A “Do You Know Navi Mumbai” wall series, curated in collaboration with JJ School of Art, showcasing city facts through creative mural art.
Working Models of Processing Plants, visually explaining how wet, dry, C&D (construction and demolition), domestic hazardous, and sanitary waste are treated from source to end point.
A phase-wise visual journey of how the site evolved from a dumpsite into the current eco-park, illustrated through wall art.
