I come from a very small town in the west of Gujarat, India. So considering that it’s a small town, development takes a lot of time to get into place by the government. But one such development that has made a remarkable change in the appearance of the town is the renovation of Lakota Lake Garden. It was just a lake in the middle of the city town and it was surrounded by a circular path and there was a fort in the middle of the Lakota Lake which is also connected to the Rangmati River. Basically the redevelopment took place few years ago and it took two years for them to convert the whole area into a area with new perspective, new aspects such as there was garden buildup surrounding the circumference of the lake and also to emphasize on the recreational activity there were cafes on one side of the lake and the other side there were art museums where people can showcase their art and craft. Because my town is very famous for artists and they didn’t have any platform to showcase their art forms. So basically this redevelopment was done keeping in mind the value of artists. So one more feature that was added to this redevelopment was boating in the lake. Previously there were no proper gateways to enter into the lake but then they converted it to also grab some of the tourists because as I mentioned that it’s a small town so they need the development in a way that brings economic prosperity to the town.

I come from a very small town in the west of Gujarat, India. Considering that it's a small town, development takes a lot of time to get into place by the government. But one such development that has made a remarkable change in the appearance of the town is the renovation of Lakota Lake Garden. It was just a lake in the middle of the town, surrounded by a circular path, and there was a fort in the middle of Lakota Lake, which is also connected to the Rangmati River. The redevelopment took place a few years ago and took two years to convert the whole area into a space with a new perspective and new aspects. There is now a garden built around the circumference of the lake, and to emphasize recreational activity, there are cafes on one side of the lake, while on the other side, there are art museums where people can showcase their art and craft. My town is very famous for its artists, and they didn't have any platform to showcase their art forms. This redevelopment was done with the value of artists in mind. One more feature added to this redevelopment was boating in the lake. Previously, there were no proper gateways to enter the lake, but they converted it to attract tourists. As I mentioned, it's a small town, so they need development that brings economic prosperity to the area.
