Where one of the major initiative being “The Ahimsa Vanam”.
Ahimsa Vanam, a serene forest garden that was designed to serve as a multifunctional landscape to improve urban resilience, was created by Kumaraguru Institutions under the auspices of Kumaraguru Microcosm to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi's birth. According to Mahatma, who was a fervent proponent of interdependent living and held a deep respect for environment, the Vanam aims to provide a place of reflection and inspiration for thousands of children and teachers. Ahimsa Vanam, a carefully cultivated forest that spans less than an acre of microcosmic space and supports 150 types of flora, including blooming and fruit trees, bushes, vines, and medicinal herbs, will eventually attract a variety of smaller birds.
