Mechanical engineer Gurunandan Rao refused to watch Bengaluru’s Lalbagh lake die.
Instead of costly tech, he turned to nature — planting native aquatic plants like colocasia (yes, patra leaves!) to absorb pollutants and restore clarity.
With aerators boosting oxygen levels by 86% and 30+ ponds revived, he’s proving one thing: cities don’t need miracles, just methods.
Would your city benefit from this? Tell us in the comments below, save this video & share.

HCM also announced:
✅ Launch of a portal where citizens can upload every stage of their planted sapling’s growth.
✅ Introduction of a real-time AI-based portal to monitor deforestation and green cover using satellite imagery.
✅ Distribution of arms and vehicles to forest guards to enhance their capacity and safety.

A heartwarming sight! A herd of elephants, including calves, safely crosses a railway track in Madukkarai, thanks to Tamil Nadu’s first AI-powered elephant protection system.
Launched in February 2024, this groundbreaking project has already generated over 5000 AI alerts, ensuring more than 2500 safe crossings without a single accident.
With thermal cameras, real-time alerts, and 24/7 monitoring by local tribal youth, this initiative by @TNForestDept & Indian Railways is transforming wildlife conservation.
