E.F.I in association with the Krishna District administration has started work on restoring the Chinna Cheruvu. The name in Telugu translates to the ‘Small Pond’.

The Chinna Cheruvu located at Kanuru, a neighbourhood in Southern Vijayawada which is home to several lakes and ponds that have been neglected/abused over the years.
