MP CM Mohan Yadav experiences forest tourism arrangements in Gujarat's Gir National Park

Madhya Pradesh CM Mohan Yadav visits Gir National Park and Rann Utsav, drawing inspiration for MP's forest tourism and tent city development plans.

"Drawing from the experiences gained... efforts will be made to further enrich... forest areas and tourist destinations in Madhya Pradesh to global standards. - CM Mohan Yadav"

Bhopal/Gandhinagar, Feb 3 Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, during his visit to the neighbouring Gujarat, participated in multiple events, including a religious event, on the occasion of 92nd birth anniversary of Mahant Swami Maharaj in Vadodara.

Chief Minister Yadav visited the Gir National Park in Gujarat and described its excellent management, strong commitment to forest conservation, and well-organised tourism arrangements as highly commendable.

He shared that during his visit to Gir National Park, he had the opportunity to closely observe forest tourism arrangements.

He said that forest development in Gujarat has witnessed high standards of progress from the time Prime Minister Narendra Modi served as Chief Minister of the state and continues to do so.

"Drawing from the experiences gained and by studying the best practices observed at Gir, continuous efforts will be made to further enrich, enhance the appeal of, and develop forest areas and tourist destinations in Madhya Pradesh to global standards," he added.

While addressing a religious event in Vadodara, the Chief Minister said that the land of Gujarat has played a vital role in connecting India and several other nations with the values of religion, spirituality, Sanatan traditions, human welfare and service.

Chief Minister Yadav added that the construction of traditional Hindu temples, including Swaminarayan Akshardham in Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi and the US, along with more than 600 temples worldwide, is a remarkable achievement.

Before these, the Chief Minister attended the 'Rann Utsav' of the Rann of Kutch, and said that during the Simhastha-2028 in Ujjain, a tent city will be developed on the lines of the 'Rann Utsav'.

"Plans are underway to develop tent cities at other high-footfall tourist destinations across Madhya Pradesh. These initiatives will generate local employment opportunities and also benefit farmers," he said.

Chief Minister Yadav also added that Smriti Van in Bhuj, dedicated to preserving the memories of earthquake victims, stands as a powerful symbol of compassion and collective resolve.

"Inspired by this spirit, there is also a plan to develop a dedicated memorial museum in Bhopal in memory of the victims of the Union Carbide tragedy," the Chief Minister said.

Good to see CMs visiting other states to learn best practices. MP has amazing forests and wildlife too - Kanha, Bandhavgarh, Pench. If we can match Gir's management standards, it will be great for conservation and tourism. The memorial museum plan in Bhopal is also a thoughtful gesture.

While learning from others is good, I hope the focus remains on implementing these plans effectively in MP. We've seen many announcements before. The real test is execution and ensuring benefits reach local communities and farmers as promised.

As someone who loves wildlife tourism, this is encouraging. Gir's model for managing tourism while protecting lions is impressive. If MP can replicate this, it will set a great example for sustainable tourism across India. The tent city concept for religious festivals is very practical.

The mention of temples built abroad is interesting, but as a citizen, I'm more concerned about the core issues - better forest management, tourist facilities, and jobs. Hope the plans for tent cities and memorials don't end up as wasteful expenditure. Deliver on the basics first, sir.

It's heartening to see cross-state collaboration. Gujarat has done remarkable work in tourism infrastructure. Adapting those lessons for MP's unique heritage and natural beauty can put us on the global map. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳
