The civic body also launched an ‘Educational Eco Walk’ for school children at Lodhi Garden in order to inculcate awareness and to bring the future generation close to the nature so that they could get an opportunity to learn more about flora-fauna in this garden, recycling of water, cultural heritages and monuments etc.
