₹45.56 Cr Allocated for Tourism Project Near Babulkheda Nagpur: The Nagpur forest division has initiated plans for a nature tourism project near the Panchmukhi Hanuman temple premises in Babulkheda, approximately 35 kilometers from the city. A groundbreaking ceremony was held earlier this week, with the presence of revenue minister and Nagpur district guardian minister Chandrashekar Bawankule. The project, sanctioned under the Maharashtra Nisarg Paryatan Vikas Mandal (MNPVM), will be executed by the forest department. The nature park will include a large entrance plaza, parking facilities, pathways, a nature information and lecture center, a restaurant, an eco park, an adventure park, a bamboo walking trail, a bouldering deck, cottages, and a children's play area. Infrastructure such as drinking water supply, sanitation, and other basic facilities will also be developed in the vicinity. The project incorporates sustainable measures like solar energy, rainwater harvesting, and waste management systems. Bawankule emphasized that the project is for the people, stating it would generate employment for locals and suggested establishing a skill development center to train youth from surrounding villages. Ramtek Lok Sabha MP Shyamkumar Barve welcomed the initiative, expressing hope that local interests would be prioritized. Saoner MLA Ashish Deshmukh praised the project's concept, noting its potential to benefit both locals and tourists. He highlighted the untapped tourism potential of the Saoner region.#nagpur_forest_division #chandrashekar_bawankule #maharashtra_nisarg_paryatan_vikas_mandal #panchmukhi_hanuman_temple #babulkheda
