Sai Life Sciences completes restoration of historic Manchirevula stepwell

As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative, Sai Life Sciences, in collaboration with the Society for Advancement of Human Endeavours (SAHE), completed the restoration of the historic stepwell dating back to the 17th century at the Sri Venugopala Swamy temple premises, located in Manchirevula, Hyderabad. The Manchirevula Stepwell Restoration Project was undertaken with the dual purpose of preserving cultural heritage and addressing critical environmental challenges, particularly water scarcity.

With the capacity to collect 300,000 litres of water, the stepwell will in time, improve the water table levels for the surrounding areas and go a long way in supporting the local ecosystem.

In Telangana’s arid climate, where water has always been a precious resource, stepwells played a crucial role in collecting and storing rainwater during the monsoon season, ensuring a reliable water supply throughout the year. By restoring this stepwell, we are reviving an ancient water management system and contributing to the sustainable use of water in the region.

The restoration works involved meticulous structural and site development efforts. Now fully restored, the stepwell has been opened to the public, serving as both a cultural landmark and a sustainable water source for the local community. This restoration is part of Sai Life Sciences’ broader CSR vision to support environmental sustainability and community well-being, ensuring that both heritage and natural resources are preserved for future generations.

The Manchirevula Stepwell Restoration Project is a shining example of our belief in ‘Make it better together’, showcasing the collective effort of Sai Life Sciences and SAHE to create lasting impact for the community and environment.
