Mahaveer Group leads way in reviving Giddenahalli Lake

Bengaluru, August 25, 2019: Mahaveer Group, the city’s leading real estate developer, along with the villagers of Kallubalu Panchayat and local residents today offered to the public, a newly revived Giddenahalli Lake in Bengaluru’s Anekal Taluk, after spending six months on the project.

The lake, which was not maintained for years and was brimming with sewage and froth, has now been restored to its original state. It was completely left unattended with no water source flowing to the lake and hence was on the verge of becoming extinct. Realising the dire situation, Mahaveer Group undertook an initiative to rejuvenate the lake and within six months ensured that the lake has returned to its natural self, attracting both flora and fauna around the region.

The revival process involved removing the silt, increasing the storage capacity of the lake, fencing the lake, and placing pavers to create walkway for morning and evening walks for residents in the area. The company also ensured to divert the rain water stream in the area to the lake which in turn has now increased the water bed level around the area.

“Recent floods in Kodagu and Kerala have showed us the impact environmental degradation can have on climate change. We at the Mahaveer Group have always ensured that our business activities do not, in any way, impact ecology. In fact, we do every bit from our end to ensure that real estate constructions never come in the way. We have been practicing rainwater harvesting diligently in our projects which motivated us to take up this green cause”, said Praveen Kumbala, Managing Director, Mahaveer Group.
