Torrent Group’s philanthropic arm, UNM Foundation on Sunday, dedicated to the citizens of Ahmedabad, newly-restored Sardar Baug developed. The garden will be managed under the Foundation’s PRATITI initiative.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah inaugurated the garden in presence of Torrent chairman Sudhir Mehta and vice chairman Jinal Mehta.
Nestled within the grandeur of the erstwhile 15th-century royal citadel, the newly restored Sardar Baug is the 11th Public Garden in Ahmedabad under UNM Foundation’s PRATITI initiative that enhances the city’s green spaces. Sardar Baug has historical significance as many Sabhas involving eminent freedom fighters were held at Sardar Baug in the pre-independence period.
Once a thriving paradise of fruit orchards, flowering plants, and intricate water courts, the garden had suffered deterioration over the past several decades. Today, it flourishes again with a meticulous restoration and conservation effort by PRATITI that restored both – its historical significance and environmental ingenuity.
The newly restored Sardar Baug has a total area of 26,010 square meters and is located opposite to the old Rupali Cinema, Lal Darwaja, in the Jamalpur Ward of Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC)’s Central Zone.
This revamped Garden is made in consideration with bringing back the aesthetic and spiritual essence of the city while taking care of the user’s diverse needs.
