Bhopal Region (Central India): JNV – Man-Nature PM LiFE Regional Training HQ & Twin Township
The 'City of Lakes' serving as a national demonstration for ecology and governance.
The Vision
"Bhopal stands at the geographic and cultural heart of India, uniquely known as the City of Lakes, surrounded by forests, reservoirs, and institutional centres of governance and justice. This natural–institutional balance makes Bhopal an ideal anchor for a Central India Regional Training Headquarters."
Key Training Focus Areas:
Manage lake- and forest-linked wellness townships
Operate hospitality, administration, and environmental services
Support large-scale training and coordination for Central India
Reforestation Goal
55k+
Indigenous tree species planned for local ecosystem restoration.
Project Footprint
420 Acres
Total area dedicated to high-impact sustainability training.
Strategic Implementation
The proposed HQ around the Van Vihar–lake–institutional corridor envisions a LiFE Township that integrates water conservation, forest stewardship, wellness practices, and human capital development. The Bhopal HQ is envisioned not merely as a training centre, but as a national demonstration of how ecology, governance, education, and employment can coexist harmoniously. Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya’s disciplined framework enables structured youth participation aligned with PM LiFE and Viksit Bharat @2047.
