The 'Mahakal Van Mela' is being organised on the theme 'Prosperous forests, happy people' and will be held from February 11 to February 16.

This is the first time that a Van Mela is being organised in the holy city of Ujjain.

Collectors of non-timber forest produce, Van Dhan Kendras, primary minor forest produce cooperative societies, traders, and representatives of herbal and Ayurvedic industries participated in the event.

Apart from the exhibition, the event also includes several activities for visitors. The fair will feature buyer-seller meets, free medical consultations by Ayurvedic doctors and traditional healers, informative cultural programmes, and the availability of traditional food items.

The Chief Minister also presented certificates of appreciation to Divisional Forest Officers (DFOs), the Managing Director of District Union South Panna, and a Forest Guard from District Union South Panna.

The maternal and child nutrition project is the most important part of this for me. If we want a healthy future for MP, we must start with our mothers and children. Good to see this alongside infrastructure development. More power to such initiatives!

Laptops for students under 'Project Swadhyay' is excellent. But I hope they are also ensuring good internet connectivity in rural areas of the district. A laptop without reliable internet is like a car without fuel. The focus on digital empowerment is the right step.

Mahakal Van Mela in Ujjain is a brilliant idea! It connects our ancient heritage with sustainable forestry and supports local tribal communities. 'Prosperous forests, happy people' is a perfect theme. Will definitely try to visit with my family.

Rs 1,133 crore is a huge amount. While development is welcome, there must be absolute transparency in tendering and spending. We have seen many projects announced with fanfare but delayed for years. Hope this one is different and completed on time.

Appreciating the DFOs and Forest Guard is a nice gesture. These frontline workers often go unrecognized. The focus on non-timber forest produce and Ayurveda can create great local livelihoods. Hope the buyer-seller meets lead to actual contracts for the collectors.
