The Peepal Research Centre
Shaping the Future of Sustainable Living
The Peepal Research Centre (PRC) envisions the future of sustainable living by seamlessly integrating cutting-edge agricultural innovation with immersive biophilic design, creating a transformative space where nature, education, and community converge. Designed as a self-sustaining facility, PRC blends landscape and science through integrated farming practices, making it a living model of climate-resilient agriculture. The centre fosters deep connections among farmers, children, and nature enthusiasts, serving as a dynamic hub for research, education, and community engagement. Supporting SankalpTaru’s mission to give back to Mother Earth, PRC will amplify ongoing reforestation and conservation efforts across states, while promoting sustainable land use, ecological restoration, and green innovation.

Rich in its symbolic content, the design expresses itself as the journey of the river which traverses through the mountains and culminates in the vast ocean, nourishing, celebrating, and being a witness to many a spectacle that arises out of the dialogue between man and nature. https://prc.sankalptaru.org/

The vision is to catch rainwater, to conserve the natural landform, water flow, and existing vegetation, to facilitate year-round ecological function, and to establish meaningful human interaction with nature. This approach ensures sustainable, climate-responsive, and eco-friendly landscape design.

Water follows land contours, collecting in natural depressions as surface or subsurface flow. As shown in the image, nature guides us—swales help channel rainwater to bio-ponds, enabling sustainable water management. This system supports rainwater harvesting, aiming to fill the pond within 3 years, boosting groundwater recharge and landscape resilience.

Seasonal water changes—like dry rivers with underground flow—create unique landscape design challenges. By adapting to visible and hidden water, the design stays functional, sustainable, and beautiful all year round.

The Phase 1 plantation plan focuses on developing a planned wilderness, ecologically resilient Sal forest patch using a 4-layering system. This approach is rooted in the natural succession of Shorea robusta (Sal), promoting biodiversity, long-term forest health, and climate adaptability.
