Reportedly, Kanpur Municipal Corporation and IIT-K have planned to renovate 5 parks across the city through collaborative efforts. These include Kargil Park, Tulsi Upvan and Parshuram Vatika, amongst others. Amidst the issues addressed by the proposed plans, the proper disposal of green waste accumulated in the parks will be a priority as it disturbs the beauty of the park and becomes a causes air pollution during its disposal. IIT Kanpur will intervene to convert this biodegradable waste into manure and natural fertilizers.

While the interventions have provided a new space for recreational activities, they have also been aimed at bettering the ecosystem. Through this, one can easily observe the multifaceted objectives of the projects which become important in today's time when sustainable development is a priority.
