GTU - Rotary - Viswakarma
Ahmedabad, Gujarat
The CATCH Foundation embarked on a transformational journey at GTU Viswakarma, converting once-barren land into a flourishing **Miyawaki dense forest**. This project received vital support from the Rotary Club as part of their CSR initiative.
The CATCH Foundation team effectively employed the **'कैच वन संरक्षण प्रणाली'** to plant and sustain GTU Viswakarma over a span of 3 years. The resulting dense forest promises to bestow numerous environmental benefits upon the community, ushering in a positive wave of social change.

Project Impact
Growing trees is one of the best way to tackle climate change and make our surrounding healthier and better.
Carbon Captured
1 tree captures 25 kg of carbon in a year. Our dense forest with 3,000 trees can capture over 75,000 kg in a year.
Employment generated
On an avg. one forest site gives employment to 120 people for 3 years. Till now we have provided employment to X people with all sites.
Soil Displacement
1 grown tree prevents 15,000 litre of water from washing away. Forest directly improves ground water recharge of city.
Project Media
From people around the area
Global warming is a serious topic and very few organisation have been doing something sustainable about it. I am happy to be associated and contribute to the Catch Foundation's action plan. We have been positively taking proactive action to preserve nature and make sustainable change to our surrounds. I congratulate Catch Foundation in its efforts. Thank you providing the opportunity.
