Rajib, works for a multinational company and is far apart in terms of his nature from his wife, Ananya, who is a receptionist at a private firm. On the other hand, Kuhi, their three-year-old daughter, and Pakhi, the domestic help of the house, share a relationship based on innocence and pure emotions. Pakhi takes good care of Kuhi when Rajib and Ananya are away at work during the day.The whole family plans a vacation to their hometown [[Golaghat]] in [[Assam]]. There, Kuhi gets to know Nalia Kai, the helper of the house, who introduces her to a new world – a world of trees, birds, greenery, paddy fields and the environment at large. There she realizes the difference between the concrete world of Mumbai and the natural environment of her father's hometown. She also fears that one day the people of Mumbai would not have air to breathe, as she learns that we get oxygen from trees. This compels her to question the scarcity of trees in Mumbai.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Shillong Times |date= 28 March 2015 |url= http://www.theshillongtimes.com/2015/03/29/trendsetting-film/ |access-date=29 March 2015}}</ref>

===Carbon offsets===
{{further|Carbon neutrality}}
CERE (Center for Environmental Research and Education) established in 2002 by Dr. (Ms.) Rashnesh N. Pardiwala, an ecologist from University of Edinburgh, and Mrs. Kitayun Rustom, an environmental educationalist, is a pioneer in the field of corporate sustainability and carbon management systems. They help organizations map their carbon footprint, meet international reporting standards, and implement low-cost carbon reduction strategies.

CERE is conducting an audit based on certain parameters to measure the emissions associated with producing this film. Based on the audit, CERE will assist the production team of Aisa Yeh Jahaan to take steps to offset the carbon emitted through the entire production process through a massive afforestation program. Essentially, CERE will be helping the producers of Aisa Yeh Jahaan 'remove' as much carbon dioxide (as trees absorb carbon dioxide) from the atmosphere as they have put in, making what is claimed to be the first carbon-neutral film production.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Centre for Environmental Research & Education (CERE) |url=http://www.cere-india.org/about-us.html |publisher=cere-india |access-date=1 April 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402104309/http://www.cere-india.org/about-us.html |archive-date=2 April 2015 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://bollyspice.com/103470/indias-1st-carbon-neutral-film-aisa-yeh-jahaan-wows-the-international-audience | title=India's 1st Carbon Neutral Film 'Aisa Yeh Jahaan' Wows the International Audience | date=27 May 2015 }}</ref>

Their aim is to plant 500 saplings out of which 330 saplings have been planted. CERE has planted 230 trees in Bhiwandi, Mumbai. They have made an MOU with the villagers stating that they won't destroy the plants at least till the year 2030.<ref>{{cite web|title=The film maker planted 500 saplings to ensure first carbon neutral Indian film |url=http://www.thenewsminute.com/lives/915|publisher= The News Minute|access-date=30 March 2015}}</ref>
