Bengaluru: The BBMP is calling on citizens, organisations, and community groups to engage in its initiative to maintain urban spaces by adopting parks, circles, and dividers throughout the city.
This programme, part of the Namma Bengaluru Nanna Koduge initiative, also involves corporate social responsibility (CSR) partnerships.
Under the scheme, individuals, institutions, and companies can select and develop specific areas, contributing to enhanced urban infrastructure.
Through the "Community Involvement for Park Conservation Policy (CIPC-2024) Under Adoption", the BBMP allows adopters to maintain these spaces for 11 months.
Interested parties are encouraged to apply by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Deputy Director of the Horticulture Department via the BBMP’s official website (https://www.bbmp.gov.in) by November 15.
While a similar call was made in June, only six citizen groups have adopted parks within the city so far. The BBMP area currently includes approximately 1,280 parks.
