#HariChandana introduced several out-of-the-box ideas during her district administration tenures to address civic and social issues through creative problem-solving.

Pet Park: Hari Chandana established India’s first pet park in Hyderabad to promote animal welfare by creating a recreational public space for pets and their caregivers/owners.

Loo Cafes: Chandana pioneered a self-sustaining revenue model via Loo Cafes to counter open defecation. These promote #public #health while providing secure community toilets.

Community Fridges: Food wastage inspired Chandana to institute community refrigerators under the banner “Feed the Need” where leftover food could be shared. #FeedTheNeed

Chandana’s innovations as district administrator manifest compassionate governance focused on citizens’ unmet needs. She presents a model of how intrinsic empathy can shape a responsive administration.
