This is an ongoing project where a museum  is being built amidst the forest and we’ve conceptualised the research for the museum in collaboration with DFI in 2019. Now we’re creating the audio visual interactive content for the museum. The content is scientific, historical and anthropological. We’re tracing the seismic history of that entire belt since prehistoric times up until 2001 so that people understand the vulnerability of the area. The central theme is people’s resilience - despite natural disasters and the challenges they bring.

The manner in which Bhuj seems to be growing today, with Madhapar and Bhuj undergoing both expansion and transformation, 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. The different institutions that have been planned within the Smritivan Memorial such as the Library and Documentation Centre, the Arts & Conference Facilities, the Living Heritage & Interpretation Centre and The Orientation Centre, are all aimed towards the propagation of Kutch. A new cultural landscape would emerge because of these institutions.
