After initial spending of ₹80 lakh, the project was delayed due to allegations of scam. The project was delayed for several years and the estimated cost increased from ₹3 crore to ₹7.8 crore. The project was restarted in 2016. The lake was renamed after Swami Vivekanand and opened to the public on 4 August 2019 by Deputy Chief Minister Nitinbhai Patel.
