A Step Towards a Clean & Green Hyderabad 🌿
On 20th September, the spirit of community, conservation, and sustainability came alive at Kotha Cheruvu, Kokapet Lake, as over 120 passionate volunteers gathered to celebrate World Cleanup Day. Despite the constant drizzle, the enthusiasm remained undeterred — symbolizing the community’s unwavering commitment to creating a cleaner and greener Hyderabad
🌳 Plantation Drive for a Sustainable Future
Following the cleanup, a plantation drive was organized along the lake bund. Volunteers, families, and residents planted saplings to strengthen the ecosystem around the lake. Each plant symbolized a promise — a promise to nurture the environment, restore biodiversity, and create a sustainable urban green space for future generations.
The school students also joined in planting saplings, learning firsthand the importance of protecting green spaces and building an eco-conscious community. The lush green saplings now stand as living reminders of the day when the community came together to make a difference..
💧 Lake Restoration and Community Participation
The Kotha Cheruvu restoration project is a shining example of how community involvement can bring back life to neglected urban lakes. Volunteers from local schools, corporate teams, and resident communities came together, armed with gloves, bags, and a strong sense of purpose — to clean the surroundings and protect this precious natural resource.
Their collective effort not only helped in clearing waste but also raised awareness about the importance of keeping our lakes pollution-free and ecologically balanced.
