Hyderabad is set to witness the transformation of the River Musi into a 55-km long pollution-free waterway, even as the Detailed Project Report (DPR) for its rejuvenation is yet to be finalized. Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy announced on Friday that the project work had already commenced, aiming to enhance the city’s resilience against flooding and pollution.
Speaking at the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) National Council Meeting, the Chief Minister highlighted his government’s commitment to making Hyderabad a flood-free city. He also noted that Hyderabad is the first city in India to implement a climate change strategy action plan, reflecting the administration’s proactive approach to urban sustainability.
In addition to discussing environmental initiatives, the Chief Minister briefed CII representatives about the proposed Young India Skills University. He announced that a corpus fund is being established to ensure the university’s Board can independently manage resources and prioritize projects without relying on government assistance.

The Chief Minister emphasized that these developments underscore the State government’s vision for Hyderabad’s sustainable and progressive future.
These initiatives are expected to boost Hyderabad’s standing as a model city, balancing urban development with environmental preservation and youth empowerment.
