ADC is developing Amaravati with a strong focus on eco-tourism and sustainable infrastructure. The Gravity Canal is being transformed into a tourist attraction, while reservoirs in Neerukonda and Penumaka are under construction to support water management and recreational activities. ADC's Translocation Nursery preserves large trees and medicinal plants displaced by construction and will serve as a community space. World Bank representatives visited these projects, acknowledging the efforts as innovative and impactful for the city's development and environmental sustainability.
Amaravati Development Corporation (ADC) Chairperson and Managing Director Smt. D. Lakshmiparthasarathy recently briefed the World Bank technical team on the ongoing projects in Amaravati, emphasizing eco-tourism as a central focus in the city's development plans. The World Bank representatives, including Yohannes and Scott, visited several key sites, including the Gravity Canal, Neerukonda, Penumaka, and ADC's Translocation Nursery. Advertisement
The CMD highlighted that the 7.8 km-long Gravity Canal is being developed into a major tourist attraction, with 5.9 km of work already completed. She explained that the canal is designed to channel floodwater from the capital area and groundwater from Lam to Kondaveeti stream into the Krishna River. The entire drainage area is being shaped with guidance from international experts, incorporating features like boating and avenue plantations to enhance eco-tourism experiences.
The delegation also toured the ADC Translocation Nursery in Anantavaram, where large trees obstructing construction have been relocated and preserved. The nursery is conserving various plant species, including those with medicinal value. The CMD noted that the site will offer residents, state government staff, and IT employees a space for morning exercise in the future. The World Bank team described the translocation initiative as highly impressive.
During the visit to Neerukonda, the team learned about a 0.4 TMC reservoir under construction on 440 acres. The CMD indicated that around 30 percent of the work has been completed, and the reservoir is expected to be fully functional by next March. The Penumaka Reservoir, spanning 190 acres, is being developed with a 0.1 TMC capacity primarily for tourism purposes. At the Kondaveeti Vagu Flood Pumping Station in Undavalli, ADC officials outlined plans for floodwater lifting and irrigation.
ADC Chief Engineers B. Narasimha Murthy, CH. Dhananjaya, Executive Engineer K. Basaveshwara Rao, along with representatives from MVR Infra and RVR Engineering, were present during the visit, providing technical details and support.
