Chief Secretary Visits Keoladeo, Reviews Conservation Priorities Shri V. Srinivas, IAS, Chief Secretary, Government of Rajasthan, visited Keoladeo National Park, Bharatpur, on 5 October 2026. On his arrival, the Chief Secretary was presented with a Kadam sapling, the “One District, One Tree” species for Bharatpur under the Panchgaurav initiative. He subsequently planted a Kadam sapling at the Shanti Kuteer campus, reaffirming the importance of native trees and ecological stewardship. During his tour of the Park, the Chief Secretary observed the rich wetland habitat and nesting colonies of Painted Storks and Cormorants in the wetland blocks. He took keen interest in the remarkable journey of Keoladeo—from a former royal duck-hunting ground to a globally recognised wetland and conservation landscape. The Park administration briefed him on the history of Keoladeo through the historical plaques at the Keoladeo campus, documenting the duck-hunting records of the erstwhile Bharatpur State. The Chief Secretary also held a detailed discussion with the Park administration on key issues concerning the long-term conservation and management of Keoladeo National Park. A major focus of the interaction was the long-term sustainability of water availability in the Park. The Park administration highlighted the need for a rational and legally supported water-rationing mechanism from Pachana, ensuring that adequate and good-quality water reaches Keoladeo in a timely and sustainable manner. The visit concluded with the presentation of the Biodiversity Map of Keoladeo, designed to enhance awareness and understanding of the Park’s remarkable biodiversity. @moefcc @svoruganti1466 @DIPRRajasthan @WWF @RajCMO @BhajanlalBjp @RajGovOfficial @byadavbjp @Sanjay4India1 @mygovindia @mygovrajasthan #KeoladeoNationalPark #RajasthanForestDepartment #Bharatpur

Young minds can shape the future of conservation. 🌿🐦 The Kevladev Mitra Programme is connecting students across Bharatpur with the wetlands, biodiversity and conservation story of Keoladeo through interactive learning, Eco-Clubs, hands-on plantation activities and visits to the Park. With 4 schools already covered and 25 schools targeted in Phase I, the journey towards nurturing a generation of conservationists has begun. @DIPRRajasthan @moefcc @RajCMO @BhajanlalBjp @byadavbjp @Sanjay4India1 @mygovrajasthan @PIB_India #KevladevMitra #KeoladeoNationalPark #WetlandConservation #ConservationEducation #RajasthanForestDepartment
