It means I want a platform or an area approximately of a size 20'w x 50'L. The condition above this platform should be gravity free upto to a height of 100'+. I feel this will help save our planet earth to enjoy better future.

No. But similar effects to a gravity free platform can be achieved with the help of counteracting forces.
1) Scientist are studying the effects of magnetism in superconductors and they are able to create levitation of objects when counteracting the gravity with the modified magnetic field. The area where this levitation occur is very small (the size of an apple, I think) and is a very expensive instrument.
2) You can have a big and powerful fan that blows air that can lift you up. This is done for fun in some places and you can easily get the dimensions you want, but it is not really gravity free.
Anyway I don't see How levitation or a gravity free environment will save the earth...
The levitation with powerful magnets seems very promising. It is used in Japan in very fast trains.
The only place where you have gravity free on earth is at the center of the earth. Nevertheless, the pressure and heat are extreme, so it is impossible to go there.

Science is not sure how gravity 'works.' Graviton waves seem to have been detected, but what is 'waving' is not clear. Graviton particles have not been detected. What is true is that gravity is one of the most perfect phenomena in existence. Entire galaxies orbit each other under the pull of gravity, even though they are hundreds of thousands of light years apart. There is no known place in the universe that is without gravity.
There are places where the pull of gravity has been seemingly canceled out or is not apparent. These usually have to do with surrendering totally ot gravity's pull. This is done in free fall or in orbit.
In science fiction there is a machine wherein a huge inverted, pyramidal mass of heavy material is suspended by structure over a small area. The gravity of the pyramid cancels out the gravity of the planetoid, creating a gravity-neutral area beneath it. On Earth, such a construction is not possible because it would have to equal the Earth's gravity, yet be structurally sound. Maybe in the future we can build a magnetically controlled artificial black hole with enough mass to balance out the Earth, but it would be too dangerous to attempt it. That much gravity could disrupt the Earth's or the Moon's orbits.

We can create a weightless platform. Space station is an example.
We can not create gravity free platform.Gravity will be there every where. It is omnipotent. Cant get rid off gravity

There is no place free from gravity even 2 small spacecraft in space will have a small attraction for each other. A spacecraft in space has trouble of attracting ionized gas particles to the point u cant send radio commands to it.

You can achieve microgravity in a free-fall orbiting space platform, but it is not going to be truly free of gravity.

I'm sorry, could you explain how it will save our planet. If matter exists, gravity exists, period.
