Bengaluru’s Doddathoguru Lake Revived: Infosys Foundation & Malligavad Foundation Collaboration Creates Thriving Ecosystem
Bengaluru, November 21, 2025 – Doddathoguru Lake near Electronic City has been transformed from a degraded water body into a flourishing ecosystem, thanks to a collaborative effort between the Infosys Foundation and the Malligavad Foundation. The project, funded by a ₹9 crore grant from the Infosys Foundation, was officially inaugurated recently.
The rejuvenation involved a comprehensive strategy, including de-weeding, desilting, bund creation, sewage diversion, and natural water treatment using floating wetlands. As a result, the lake’s water-holding capacity has increased by approximately 500 million litres, significantly mitigating urban flooding and revitalizing the local environment.
“This lake was once a critical source of drinking water, but had deteriorated due to pollution,” stated a release from the Infosys Foundation. “The rejuvenation has restored ecological balance.”
Beyond environmental benefits, the project has also created a vibrant public space for the community. New amenities include a walking track, a children’s play area, and an open-air gym, making the lake a valuable recreational resource for residents. The joint effort demonstrates a commitment to both environmental sustainability and community well-being in the rapidly growing tech hub.
