THE CHINI FOREST 

In the heart of New Town, Kolkata, a green space is taking shape, bringing people and nature closer together. CHINI Forest, an initiative of THE CHINI TRUST in collaboration with Earth Restore, began with a simple vision: to create an urban green space that nurtures the environment and the well-being of the community.

​

With 1,200 flowering plants, CHINI Forest is growing into an oxygen corridor, offering a little more room for nature to thrive amid the city. The journey brings together organisations, civil society groups, corporates and community members, each contributing to a shared vision of a greener tomorrow.

​

For THE CHINI TRUST, this is what creating ecosystems of change looks like: small, collective steps that can grow into something meaningful.

A forest is also a shared space, where nature, people and well-being grow together.

The Gentle Giant
The Gentle Giant Initiative for Ecosystems 

In loving memory of her late husband, Arijit Ghosh, a man known for his quiet strength and towering presence Ms. Pallavi Salvi has initiated and is generously supporting the Gentle Giant Initiative, a heartfelt tribute rooted in nature and remembrance.

 

With the support of The CHINI Trust, this initiative is now part of one of the Trust’s core missions: creating and replicating ecosystems for inclusive change.

The Gentle Giant Initiative for Ecosystems supports the creation of community-led, nature-based spaces that foster healing, connection, and sustainability. It stands as a living legacy, both deeply personal and powerfully universal.

​

Just like the tallest bamboo in Green Verge, Kolkata planted and lovingly tended by Ms. Salvi in her late husband’s memory, this initiative rises with quiet strength, enriching the land and the lives it touches.
