Less than two years after the two-acre plot within the premises of Bhavan’s College at Andheri was transformed from a dumping ground into a beautiful botanical garden cum adventure centre known as Bhavan's Nature and Adventure Centre, the premises has now been recognised as an official partner of the United Nations Decade on Biodiversity, which serves to support biodiversity.

Earlier, garbage was piled up on the same plot and drug addicts frequented the area. A portion of the land had turned into a waterlogged marshy swamp infested by deadly snakes. Today, however, the garbage has been replaced by a botanical garden that attracts 40 species of butterflies, 55 species of birds and houses 300 varieties of plants.
