Asola (Delhi)

Asola is a village located in the South Delhi district of Delhi, India. It is known primarily for its proximity to the Asola Bhatti Wildlife Sanctuary, a significant green lung for the city. The village's economy is predominantly agrarian, although urbanization and encroachment from Delhi are increasingly impacting its traditional way of life.

Asola Bhatti Wildlife Sanctuary, adjacent to the village, provides a habitat for a variety of bird and animal species. The sanctuary is also important for groundwater recharge in the region.

The village faces challenges related to water scarcity, sanitation, and waste management, common issues in peri-urban areas surrounding Delhi. Efforts are underway to improve infrastructure and promote sustainable development in the area, often in conjunction with the conservation efforts within the wildlife sanctuary. The development and protection of the sanctuary has led to changes in the economic opportunities of the villagers, who often participate in conservation and eco-tourism activities.
