A few months ago, as part of efforts to revive step wells, Hyderabad Design Forum (HDF) had submitted a list of 100 step wells in Hyderabad to Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MAUD) that can be restored. The State government later decided to shortlist the wells that will be facelifted and take-up works in a phase wise manner. The Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) along with other private organisations also played an important role in the revival of step wells, officials said.
