With this post we would like to seek your inputs on key issues observed with community parks and gardens in your area and city. Once we understand all the issues, we will review solutions needed separately to put together a whitepaper which can be circulated to all ULBs across India.
A EXPERIENCED GARDENER IS A MUST TO MAINTAIN THE PARK AND ATTRACT THE CITIZENS TO USE THE PARK. IF NEEDED A NOMINAL ENTRANCE FEE CAN BE CHARGED SO THAT THE HOUSEKEEPING IS GOOD AND USERS DO NOT LITTER. GOOD ORNAMENTAL PLANTS NEED LESS MAINTENANCE AND THERE IS NO THEFT OF FLOWERS. more
When the government bodies and the municipal corporations are little bothered and indifferent about cleanliness, the noble 'Swachch Bharat Mission" of our Prime Minister is unlikely to bother the common men. It has simply opened new avenues of corruptions in the name of the Mission. Huge money is out laid from the government treasure in the name of cleanliness, major portion of which is eaten up by those responsible to implement the schemes and make the mission a success. Parks and gardens as also other public places are in bad shape and littering of waste and polythene bags, empty packages & water bottles, cow dung, dog excrement etc. are common and at large. Spitting publicly is our birth right and our people do not hesitate to spit everywhere & anywhere including hospitals excepting those places where the rules are strictly implemented followed up. more

And not even a micro gram of these tiny, but deadly air particles called PM 2.5 and 10, have any business hanging around in our atmosphere. But the Indian reality is about a thousand times worse. There are virtually no places left in India, that can be considered ‘healthy and breathable’. Barring a few cities in South India, the air quality in most Indian cities do not even live up to our relaxed national pollution standards, let alone the WHO norms. Therefore Grow-trees to Greet with Trees should be the theme of the Nation. Atleast One park for every one kilometre should be kept must. more
