RANI JHEEL |
|
| |
|
|
| |
As Ranikhet is located at a higher altitude between 5500 ft to 7500 ft. No river is crossing this naturally beautiful small town even there is no such lake/ dam which can preserve rain water/spring water. It is said that there were 100 of spring water sources at Ranikhet but it is observed that during last one decade 50% of dam have been dried.
Keeping in view the above problem the Cantt. Board is developing a huge lake named Rani Jheel. It is beautifully located between two ridges of Ranikhet i.e. between Canossa Convent School and Kendriya Vidyalaya. |

The Cantonment Board have it’s own play ground known as NCC play ground. Long ago there was a sloppy hillock at the site and the same was developed/leveled by the NCC cadets and then mainly by Cantt.Board.
After the valuable efforts of NCC cadets the site came up into a shape of ground. Thus, this ground is known as NCC ground. At present the said ground is inadequate for the use as play ground/organizing sports competitions. |
