Asita is one-of-its-kind Green Asset for the National Capital on the banks of the Yamuna inaugurated by the Hon’ble LG Shri Vinai Kumar Saxena on 7th September 2022. Asita project is spread over 197 hectares with more than 4000 trees conducive to the Yamuna flood plains and about 33.5 lakh riverine grasses. The project located at Eastern Bank of River Yamuna between Old Railway Bridge and ITO Barrage is a part of DDA's ongoing Restoration and Rejuvenation programme of the Yamuna floodplains. It will facilitate the restoration of the ecological character of the floodplains of the River and provide much needed breathable public green space to the people of East Delhi. The project is divided into four zones, namely – Ecological, Interactive, Public Recreational (Greenway) and Urban Streetscape Zones. This is also providing the people of East Delhi with the much-needed breathable public green space in the heart of the city. 

With the inspiration of Shri Saxena, Asita, on 05.03.2023, also hosted the Ambassadors/High Commissioner and other diplomats of various G-20 and other nations over nature trail and bird-watching.
