The Symbol
Kalpataru (कल्पतरु) is the symbol of nature's generosity — the wish-fulfilling tree that sustains life. In today's world, Kalpataru is not just a myth, it is a movement to protect, preserve, and regenerate our environment.
Literally, it means the tree that fulfills every need.
Environmentally, it represents air, water, soil, and biodiversity that nurture us every day.
For us, Kalpataru is a commitment to conserving resources, planting trees, and creating a greener future.
We believe that every small step towards nature creates a ripple of change. Through Kalpataru, our initiative for environmental conservation, we take purposeful actions to protect, preserve, and nurture the environment.

How It Began
Born from Protest
As we all know, our beloved Nagpur is not just the Orange City but also the geographical centre of India. But in June 2021, the heart of this city faced a grave threat.
The Government of Maharashtra announced the development of an Inter-Modal Station (IMS) at Ajni — a massive 446-acre project executed in four phases. This plan came with a devastating cost: the proposed felling of 40,000+ trees from Ajni Van, the green lungs of Nagpur.
This news shook us deeply. How could we allow the very soul of Nagpur — its trees, its air, its future — to be sacrificed in the name of development?
And so, on 13th June 2021, a group of determined citizens rose together with a single motto:
More than 10,000 voices signed a petition demanding a stay on the project — proving that when citizens stand together, even the mightiest plans can be questioned.
This movement gave birth to something greater — a collective of hope, courage, and environmental responsibility. This was the birth of the Kalpataru Wing: Born from protest, powered by unity, and rooted in the belief that true development must live in harmony with nature.
Our Journey
The Kalpataru Roadmap
Till now, we have worked tirelessly towards protecting and preserving the environment through impactful initiatives. We have collaborated with 20+ NGOs, 15+ colleges, and 8+ schools across Nagpur, successfully organizing 100+ plogging and cleanliness drives at different locations of the city.
With a strong commitment to afforestation, we have planted 1000+ trees across Nagpur, creating greener spaces for the future. We also actively raise our voices against deforestation, including protests against cutting 4,00,000+ trees in Ajni Van, as well as similar issues in Aarey Forest, Karnataka, and other green zones.
Alongside protests, we consistently file complaints against harmful practices and work with the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) to organize joint drives for safeguarding nature.
