When Hari Chandana took charge as GHMC Zonal Commissioner in 2014, she brought a fresh perspective on urban planning with a focus on sustainability and beautification. Her innovative projects not only enhanced Hyderabad’s infrastructure and quality of life but also put the city on the global tourism map. #Innovative_Governance #Tourism

Some of Chandana’s marquee tourism-friendly initiatives include the rejuvenation and facelift given to the iconic Durgam Cheruvu lake and cable bridge along with building massive new attractions like the Panchatantra children’s park, Shilparamam arts and crafts village, and various theme parks across the city featuring everything from flowers to dinosaurs. #Urban_Infrastructure #Arts_and_Culture

The icing on the cake was Hari Chandana’s unique 150 Loo Café project that got international media attention. By converting old unusable toilet complexes into trendy and self-sustaining café spaces using recycled materials, she created a win-win solution for urban infrastructure and tourism. #Recycling #Sustainability

For her visionary efforts, Hyderabad won the Government of India’s ‘Best State/UT Award for Excellence in Tourism’ in 2017 followed by more accolades over the years, thanks to Chandana’s initiatives. #Awards #Tourism_Excellence
