A couple of years ago, Puttenahalli Lake, JP Nagar 7th Phase (near Brigade Millennium) was a garbage dump. Today it is filled up with a fair amount of fresh water with 200 trees around and is home to more than 50 species of birds, including European migratories. My wife and three others, along with the BBMP, were instrumental in bringing the lake back from the brink of extinction. They formed a registered trust PNLIT, that has been officially handed over the lake for nurturing. Expenses are being met through public donations. More information on the website www.puttenahallilake.in. If interested please take the time to visit http://www.sparktherise.com/projectdetail.php?pid=5087,see the project plan and show your support.

do support - tomorrow last day
Awesome work by Aarti and team - and, of course, behind every committed lady is her Yajamaanru, alvae! :))) I have already voted. I hope more Prajagalu follow suit - tomorrow is the last day.
I'll proudly say that we, in Koramangala, also made a significant mark on the lake revival front (check this). In-Shah-Allah, by next monsoon, we should have a beautiful lake here too, and we could invite some of your birds over.
YAJAMAANNRU - PLEASE CONVEY
YAJAMAANNRU - PLEASE CONVEY MY CONGRATULATIONS TO YOUR WIFE AND THE TEAM AT PNLIT.
USING THE CONTACTS PAGE ON THE WBSITE I HAVE EMAILED THE GROUP WITH THE PROPOSAL BELOW, PLEASE HELP TO ENSURE THIS REACHES THE APPROPRIATE PEOPLE THERE AND ALSO SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS AND INSIGHTS INTO THE IDEA.
Addressed Trust Members,
water sports too?
@ Clive - Great suggestion. Simultaneously, why not promote water sports too - of the non-motorised kind (without disturbing the birds)? In fact, IDS was visioning his currently 5 yr old son heading the Indian rowing team in the 2028 Olympics. He was hoping to get the Hebbal lake, close to his house, in proper shape for nurturing the sport. May be the Puttenahalli team can join the effort too.
