COMMUNITY PARKS

By encouraging private participation, the Vijayawada Municipal Corporation has been successful in developing and maintaining various parks in the colonies. Initially for the development of the park, 30% contribution is paid to the VMC by the public and after the park is developed it is handed over to the park committee .The park committee includes the local residents of the colony and one official team of V.M.C, the joint account is opened & operated by the VMC official and park committee president .This really helped the V.M.C to minimize the cost and efficiently maintain the parks beautifully. The formation of the park committee is a tedious process of counting all the local people for a meeting under the chairmanship of local corporator. It is a collaborative exercise that promoters shared responsibility and beverages limited resources to create a larger pool of ideas & maintain the parks beautifully

In spite of their busy schedule, the people are coming forward to co-operate with V.M.C .The maintenance amounts are released by V.M.C for giving technical assistance to maintain the parks as given below.
