Infosys Foundation, in collaboration with the Malligavad Foundation, recently inaugurated the rejuvenated Doddathoguru Lake near Electronic City.
Infosys Foundation said that through a grant of about ₹9 crore from it, the rejuvenation project has transformed the once-degraded lake into a thriving ecosystem that enhances groundwater recharge, improves biodiversity, and supports community well-being.
The rejuvenation efforts included de-weeding, desilting, bund creation, sewage diversion, and natural treatment through floating wetlands.
“Once a vital drinking water source, the lake had deteriorated due to sewage inflow and solid-waste accumulation, leading to contamination, flooding, and loss of ecological balance. Following the rejuvenation, the lake’s water-holding capacity has increased by nearly 500 million litres, helping mitigate urban flooding and restore the local ecosystem,” Infosys Foundation said in a statement.
In addition, community amenities such as a walking track, children’s play area, and an open-air gym have also been developed, turning the lake into a vibrant public space.
