Making Cubbon Park self-reliant for water, the Horticulture Department has recently inaugurated its ambitious Cubbon Park Rejuvenation (CPR) programme. The event, coinciding with World Water Day celebrations, introduced various water conservation infrastructures around the park. As part of the CPR programme, the repair work of six wells and building of 73 recharge pits were taken up under two phases since 2017. Even though the work was completed in 2020, the inauguration was delayed due to the pandemic. The project was executed by the Horticulture Department in association with organizations, such as Friends of Lakes, Biome Environmental Solutions, and India Cares Foundation.
