Actor Nagarjuna adopts 1,080 acres to set up urban park in Chengicherla

Film actor Nagarjuna adopted 1,080 acres of forest land to set up an urban park in the name of his father and late actor and Dada Saheb Phalke awardee Akkineni Nageshwara Rao, and donated ₹2 crore for the ‘Haritha Nidhi’, an idea conceived by Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao.

At the foundation laying ceremony on February 17, marking the birthday celebrations of the Chief Minister, Mr. Nagarjuna participated along with TRS MP Joginiapalli Santosh Kumar and his family members, including actor-sons Naga Chaitanya and Akhil.

Mr. Nagarjuna said that he was inspired by Mr. Kumar’s Green India Challenge programme to create green cover in the State and country. He said during the final of the reality show Big Boss, which he hosts, he had discussed the adoption of forestland with Mr. Kumar and declared on the dais that he would adopt forestland.
