Bhopal: Krishak Bharati Cooperative Limited (KRIBHCO) has entered into an agreement with the Madhya Pradesh State Biodiversity Board (MPSBB) to support the development of the proposed Mor Van Biodiversity Park in Bhopal.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was exchanged in the presence of Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav. KRIBHCO Chairman V. Sudhakar Chowdary and Managing Director S. S. Yadav exchanged the agreement with MPSBB Member Secretary Sudeep Singh.
Under the agreement, KRIBHCO will provide financial assistance of up to ₹10 crore for approved components of the biodiversity park. The support will be utilised for activities including plantation, development of a Nature Interpretation Centre and associated infrastructure.
The proposed park is planned as an urban green space dedicated to biodiversity conservation and environmental awareness. It is expected to provide opportunities for citizens, students, researchers and nature enthusiasts to learn about local ecosystems through direct engagement with the natural environment.
The initiative adds an environmental dimension to KRIBHCO’s cooperative activities, highlighting the organisation’s focus on sustainability, conservation and responsible management of natural resources. The project is also intended to contribute to greater public awareness of biodiversity and sustainable development in an urban setting.
