Smriti Van Meuseum, Bhuj
As it is lush green Campus and Kutchh being a water Scarcity area, the “SmritiVan” reflects the ancient methodology for collection of water in terms of checkdams (vaav), which will then be utilized to give water to all Flaura and Fauna developed within the campus.
The Bhujiyo Dungar presents itself as an opportunity to protect the natural habitat. It provides the city an opportunity to enjoy a vast expanse of open land which in the coming years would be a scarcity.
It will also have a memory of the people died in the massive earthquake happened in 2001. The meuseum authority has also planned to plant a tree in the ame of each person who lost his/her life in the earthquake.
The different institutions that have been planned within the Smrutivan Memorial such as the Library and Documentation Center, the Arts & Conference Facilities, the Living Heritage & Interpretation Centre and The Orientation Center, are all aimed towards the propagation of Kachchh. A new cultural landscape would emerge because of these institutions.
