Janani | An urban lakeside retreat will help people to breath fresh air of relaxation after a long stressful day and will keep urban dwellers close to nature.
Project description
Project idea
The idea of this project is for the people living in this ward to have a weekend getaway like space in the ward itself. A place where people of all age groups can co-exist and learn a way of living, with nature.
Need for the project
The Doddanekundi ward has 5 lakes and few parks and playgrounds. People enjoy working out in the open at the early hours of the day. People also love going to the park after a hectic day of work for relaxation. It is to provide to the people of this ward space where they can connect with nature and give them a place like Cubbon Park. As there is no such retreat in east Bangalore. This place can help people enjoy nature at its fullest.
Objective of the project
To give the people of this ward a place where they can teach, learn, enjoy and have different activities in the open with nature around. A place where people of different age groups can take part in different activities.
