The park was developed over several years, transforming a barren land into a thriving forest. The development involved extensive tree plantation, landscaping, and the creation of water bodies. The park has since become a popular destination for locals and tourists, serving as a testament to the importance of environmental stewardship and the legacy of Rajiv Gandhi.
