Sustainability Story
In 1981, the Singh family acquired 180 acres of neglected scrubland with a commitment to restoring it to its original untouched state. Dera Amer wasn't driven by profit. Despite lucrative offers from developers, the Singh family remained steadfast in their dedication to protecting and preserving the local environment. Today, over 30 years later, Dera Amer stands as a sanctuary for both domestic and wild animals, offering a tranquil escape for visitors seeking a break from the city.
The devoted staff at Dera Amer hails from the neighbouring villages, with some having been part of the journey since its inception. Through their dedication, Dera Amer contributes both direct and indirect income to these local communities. Beyond the camp, the commitment extends to funding the nearby junior school and supplying computers, stationery and books. This not only enriches the education of the children but also ensures a brighter and more promising future for their families.
