The area is to be equipped with rainwater harvesting system, solar water pump, composting and water recycling models. A 70-acre lake will also be revived to recharge the groundwater, according to officials of the forest department. To avoid pollution, bicycles and e-rickshaws will be provided to visitors.
A nature interpretation centre, forestry museum and a herbal garden were also inaugurated on Saturday to raise awareness among people about the Aravalli forest range and its importance.
“This camp will provide people an opportunity to experience nature, realise the importance of wildlife conservation and natural resource management,” Khattar said.
He also added that the site will be named Chandra Shekhar Smriti Ban. The ashram dates back to 1983, when Chandra Shekhar had set it up. The Bhondsi village panchayat had then gifted 33 acres to the Kendra. The site also houses a farmhouse that belonged to the former PM.
