Panaji Smart City has developed a Broadwalk in the midst of mangroves in the city under #AMRUT. This has become quite popular with citizens and visitors to give them beautiful ecological experience.

So far, 1,601 parks/ green spaces have been completed with expenditure of ₹893 crores and cover around 3,100 acres across 500 mission cities.

Further another 773 projects worth ₹605 crores adding area of around 2,240 acres green spaces in cities are under implementation.
130 more projects worth ₹73 crore are at NIT/DPR stages. Thanks to #AMRIT for this initiative to improve quality of life for the citizens.

I have personally visited many of such parks developed under #AMRUT during my field visits in different cities. In my interaction with local citizens I have been delighted to assess their happiness.

Such all ability facilities have not only made available pleasant green spaces close to community to provide them social connect, exercise, relaxation, yoga, child play etc but also help in conserving precious water.
