Madhya Pradesh is making strides in wildlife conservation with plans to introduce cheetahs into the Veerangana Durgavati Tiger Reserve before the monsoon hits next year. Following the successful translocation of cheetahs from Africa, the state will see the creation of three large reserves, all aimed at providing new habitats for the world's fastest animal.

Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, who recently celebrated his second year in office, discussed the expansion in an interview. "The entire state is open to cheetahs. Imagine their growing population," he stated, highlighting Madhya Pradesh’s unique success in cheetah rehabilitation. He also addressed the issue of tiger deaths, emphasizing efforts to reduce such incidents and promoting exchanges of wild animals between states.

The CM also outlined how his administration is working on multiple fronts, including translocating other wildlife species to the state and boosting farmers' incomes. With projects like 'Ek Bagiya Maa Ke Naam' to develop fruit orchards and initiatives providing solar energy and free electricity to farmers, the government aims to enhance agricultural productivity and lower expenses.
