Permaculture is a self-sustainable agricultural ecosystem that doesn’t need any input from human beings. Officials are planning to invite students from schools and colleges for field trips to this park and spread awareness on the concept of self-sufficient ecosystems. The theme park also displays a few waste disposal techniques with informative boards, documentaries, and working models on sustainable agriculture.
The park has rainwater harvesting to raise the groundwater table, an organic waste converter for converting wet waste into manure and an incinerator for scientific disposal of sanitary napkins and diapers.
The other features of the park include a shredder to reduce the volume of waste, a pyrolysis model to convert multi-layered plastic/dead plastic into diesel and a ‘Vayu Jal’ machine that converts humidity in the air into drinkable water.
