Telangana is seeing a rise in the repair of stepwells, which is helping to resurrect the region's lost legacy. Numerous stepwells around the State, notably the well-known Bansilalpet Stepwell in the centre of hyderabad, have been given new life in recent years.

An 1810 stepwell from the Nizam era has been restored by ghmc and NIMS under the direction of Secretary Urban Infrastructure and Development Arvind Kumar. The Kumandan Baoli in the Gudimalkapur region was hidden behind construction debris, but it is anticipated that it would soon be brought back to its former splendour.

In addition, another stepwell in the Adikmet region is now being rehabilitated. In a tweet, The Rainwater Project creator Kalapana Ramesh provided further information about this stepwell close to Osmania University. "450 tonnes of trash and silt were removed by 1,000 hours of labour in the 19-meter-deep Adikmet Stepwell."

Even before the institution was established, there was a stepwell from the 18th century that was named for the famed poet Mah Laqa Chanda Bai. She expressed gratitude to OU Vice Chancellor D Ravinder Yadav and stated that taking up the restoration will serve as an example for young people in the State.

Green Team Wanaparthy, Team Pink, and SAHE hyderabad are also assisting in the rehabilitation of this stepwell, with initial funding provided by Linkwell Telesystems. 360LIFE will continue to protect and advance it. Another historic stepwell in warangal will shortly begin to be de-vegetated and desilted. Kalpana Ramesh, Mayor Gundu Sudharani, and P Pravinya, the warangal District Collector, recently visited the Metlabavi in Shivanagar.

Along with these restoration projects, a group of nine architects from the hyderabad Designer Forum recently finished research describing the stepwells' former splendour throughout Telangana. Many more stepwells in the State are anticipated to be restored as a result of this study. The state government of telangana has started initiatives to restore a large number of historic buildings. Stepwells, which have been common since the Kakatiya era, have come to symbolise the State's efforts to protect the area's architectural history.
