MA&UD Calls on Corporates to Partner in Hyderabad Lake Development
Hyderabad is a big city in India that has many lakes.
These lakes help the city in important ways, like keeping nature balanced and preventing floods.
The city also needs the lakes for water in the future.
A government department called MA&UD wants to clean up and beautify the lakes.
This work is called lake rejuvenation.
The department asked companies to help pay for this work using CSR money.
CSR money is special money that companies spend to help society.
The request was made at a meeting called CSR Round Table 2.0.
Government leaders told companies that helping with the smaller lakes is especially important.
If companies, citizens, and the government all work together, the lakes will stay healthy for everyone.
The Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MA&UD) department urged corporate organisations to support lake development and rejuvenation in Hyderabad through CSR funds.
The appeal was made at CSR Round Table 2.0, organised under the aegis of the MA&UD and Sports department.
Special Chief Secretary Jayesh Ranjan and HYDRAA Commissioner A.V. Ranganath urged corporate support for developing smaller lakes in the city.

HYDRAA has completed first- and second-phase lake development works, and the government has approved the third phase.
