  • Pond and tank revival: 533 water bodies in Lalitpur are not in use. Desilting a one-acre pond costs about ₹9 lakh to ₹15 lakh. See pond rejuvenation.
  • Classrooms to upgrade schools where the next level is too far: 283 schools are beyond 3 km to class 6 or 5 km to class 9. A classroom costs about ₹17 lakh to ₹19 lakh for the structure; see school building cost.
