Bangalore The HSR ward
The HSR Neighbourhood improvement plan was started with the idea of the local councilor to make the ward a sustainable ward
The neighbourhood Improvement Plan was initiated through engagement with the stakeholders of HSR ward.
Everyone was encouraged to put up their ideas as what they aspired their
neighbourhood to be.
The proposal for a junction improvement plan in was one of the immediate outcomes of the stakeholder engagement
Members of the local corporation along with the councilor and EMBARQ working together
to implement the junction improvement plan on an experimental basis.

The master list of recommendations was put together after multiple stakeholder engagements. The program has now grown in many fronts and began to be called
“ Namma neighbourhood, Namme HSR” ( Our neighbourhood, Our HSR)
The program was launched at an event in the ward, with members from various stakeholder groups ( both government and non-government) participating
The collaboration between EMBARQ and the corporation continued with the
councilor Latha Narasimhamurthy talking about role of governance in making
initiatives like the neighbourhood improvement plan at the ‘Connect Karo’
conference
The Neighbourhood improvement plan wins the Ashoka and UL challenge: “Safer Roads, Safer India: Game changing Innovations that Save Lives’.
Featured here is the team that made it possible.
