¨     On 5 October, Rajasthan’s first ‘Namo Biodiversity Park’ was inaugurated by Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav at Pratap Bandh in Alwar.

¨     The park, also known as ‘Namo Van’, has been envisioned as a vital green lung for the Alwar region.

¨     A symbolic tree plantation ceremony was organized during the inauguration event.

¨     The park aims to enhance greenery, purify the air, and spread environmental awareness among visitors.

¨     Yadav said that the park would not only enhance greenery and purify the air in Alwar but also inspire visitors of ‘Namo Van’ to embrace an eco-friendly lifestyle.

¨     The initiative has been designed to serve as both an ecological project and a community awareness platform.

¨     It is expected that the park will significantly contribute to biodiversity conservation efforts in Rajasthan.

¨     The park’s establishment aligns with the Government’s broader ‘Green India’ vision and climate action goals.

This model project will encourage the development of similar biodiversity parks across the state.
