Pochanpur in Southwest Delhi is expanding rapidly — and with it come rising pollution levels, heat stress, and a growing disconnect from nature. In this scenario, even small green patches make a powerful difference.
🌿 1. Better Air Quality (AQI)
Micro-forests and green pockets help reduce particulate pollution.
- Trap dust and PM2.5
- Improve local oxygen levels
- Enhance AQI by 20–30% in the immediate zone
☀️ 2. Reduced Urban Heat Island Effect
Dense greenery cools the neighborhood naturally.
- Lowers surrounding temperatures by 2–4°C
- Provides shade and reduces heat absorption from concrete
👧👦 3. Student Mental Wellbeing
Green spaces in schools give children calm, focus, and emotional balance.
- Improved concentration
- Reduced stress and irritability
- Healthier breaks with less screen-time
🌱 4. Community Building & Local Biodiversity
Green patches bring people together and revive local ecology.
- Students, RWAs, and residents join hands
- Birds, butterflies, and pollinators return
- A shared sense of ownership emerges
✨ Rise Foundation’s Call to Action
Rise Foundation is creating Miyawaki forests and green patches across Delhi to fight poor AQI, heat islands, and ecological decline.
Connect with us to develop a green patch in your school, institution, colony, or community. Together, we can regenerate Pochanpur and beyond.
