Bhubaneswar: Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik launched the 'Ama Pokhari' (our pond) project on Thursday with the goal of revitalizing the state's urban water bodies.
The Chief Minister launched the project at the convention center in Lokseva Bhawan in Bhubaneswar, saying it will go a long way toward rejuvenating urban water bodies in a natural and sustainable manner to provide clean water and address scarcity.
The project's goal is to develop all of the water bodies in and around the state's urban areas. Several urban water bodies are being revitalized with the assistance of Mission Shakti Groups. According to sources, over Rs 120 crore is being invested in this initiative.
Under the project, around 2000 water bodies in 115 urban local bodies of the state will be renovated. The water bodies will also be developed for the entertainment of the citizens and their surroundings will get an aesthetic face-lift. The renovation and maintenance of the water bodies will be done in collaboration with women of Mission Shakti.
The project will be executed using natural and organic methodology to improve the climate of the coastal and surrounding areas.
This will helpful in development of Healthy Public Spaces for recreation and strengthen the ecological fabric of cities.
