Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav said that Madhya Pradesh Rajya Van Vikas Nigam accepted the challenge of developing forests on ash mountains formed in the process of mining activities and electricity production in state, and restored forest wealth. Rehabilitating forests in three lakh fifteen thousand hectares is a big achievement. Van Vikas Nigam deserves Praise for this achievement. It is a matter of pride that other states are also eager to take advantage of the Nigam’s expertise. Proper management of forests is being done in the state through updated technology. As a result, the state is the best in the country in terms of forest wealth. The state government is also making every possible effort in the direction of conservation of forests, forest produce, and wildlife. Forest service officers and employees are worthy of praise for protection and better management of dense forest areas of the state.
