The construction of the one-kilometre-long geo-tube is expected to be completed by October to prevent erosion along the coastal stretch of Pedda Mynavarani Lanka (P.M. Lanka) on Narsapuram coast in West Godavari district.

The geo-tube, being funded by Deloitte India, would be the second one on the Andhra Pradesh coast. The first geo-tube was installed along the Uppada coast, which is one of the coastal stretches that is witnessing an alarming rate of erosion over the past decade. 

Deloitte India is offering ₹13.50 crore for the project under Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in response to a request by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, who adopted P.M. Lanka village. The geo-tube is one of the major projects pursued by Ms. Sitharaman in her adopted village which comprises farmers and fisherfolk..

The Ocean Engineering Department of the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, has conducted the feasibility study of the geo-tube, which is being built under the aegis of the Chief Engineer of the Godavari Delta System of the Water Resource Department. 

On July 5 (Saturday), Anirudh Sravan Pulipaka, Personal Secretary to Ms. Nirmala Sitharaman, and West Godavari District Collector Chadalavada Nagarani inspected the geo-tube works. 

In an official release, District Collector Ch. Nagarani said, “The construction of the geo-tube is in full swing and it is expected to be completed by October”.

Once commissioned, Deloitte India will maintain the geo-tube before handing it over to the Water Resources Department.
