Oxygen Bird Park (Amrit Mahotsav Park) is an eco-initiative developed by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) near Jamtha, along the Nagpur-Hyderabad National Highway-44. Covering a total area of 8.23 hectares, including 2.5 hectares dedicated to social forestry, the park is designed to serve both as a natural bird habitat and as a recreational space for locals and tourists. The project, which integrates environmental sustainability and recreational facilities, was formally approved in March 2023 with a development cost of Rs 14.31 crores.

A key aspect of the park is its focus on sustainability, showcased through its "Oxygen Park" feature. Fast-growing, oxygen-producing trees are planted to help reduce air pollution and promote a healthier environment, with the Social Forestry Division of Nagpur playing a crucial role in developing and maintaining these green spaces.
