Lucknow Turns Kuda Chauraha Dump Yard into Rashtriya Prerna Sthal
From Kuda Chauraha Dump Yard to a Green Cultural Landmark

Lucknow | 21, July 2025 : Lucknow has turned a huge garbage dump into a place of pride. What was once called Kuda Chauraha is now the beautiful Rashtriya Prerna Sthal. This project shows how smart planning and teamwork can change a city’s face.
From Garbage to Green
Three years ago, the site was just a massive landfill. Tons of waste covered the ground. The area smelled bad and hurt local health.
Today, the same place is a clean, green cultural park. Visitors come to see gardens, pathways, and big statues of national leaders.
A Grand Memorial for Great Leaders
The new Rashtriya Prerna Sthal is more than a park. It is a tribute to India’s leaders. The site has tall bronze statues of Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Shyama Prasad Mukherjee, and Deendayal Upadhyay.
Each statue stands 63 feet high. The site is shaped like a giant lotus. It also has a large open-air theatre, a rally ground, and a modern museum.
Museum and More for Visitors
The museum will tell the stories of India’s leaders. It will have 3D shows, light and sound displays, and holographic theatres. Visitors can learn history in a fun way. There will also be places for yoga, seminars, and cultural events.
Eco-Friendly Design
The project used eco-friendly methods. Thousands of tons of garbage were cleared safely. Workers planted trees and built paths. The whole area now offers fresh air and green cover.
Boost for Lucknow’s Image
Turning Kuda Chauraha into Rashtriya Prerna Sthal is a big win for Lucknow. The project has lifted land value. Locals get a clean area to walk, relax, and join events.
It will also draw tourists, students, and visitors from all over India.
A Model for Other Cities
Many cities in India struggle with waste dumps. Lucknow’s story shows that old dumps can become new landmarks. Good planning, funding, and people’s support can make this happen.
Final Thoughts
Once a dump yard, today a site of pride — Rashtriya Prerna Sthal proves change is possible. From Kuda Chauraha to an inspiration site, Lucknow has set an example for the nation.
