Rotary Club of Nagpur Elite comes up with three biodiversity parks
1 2 Nagpur: The Rotary Club of Nagpur Elite (RCNE), in collaboration with Mahatma Gandhi Ayurveda College, Hospital and Research Centre, inaugurated a Biodiversity Park to promote conservation of regional and medicinal plants, pollination, and green living. RCNE also opened two more biodiversity parks — in Aanji and Samudrapur — where saplings suitable for pollination and beekeeping were distributed with support from YogArt and Rotary leaders. At Wardha, the park, developed jointly under the leadership of RCNE president Jyotsna Pandit, will serve as a habitat for birds and insects, boosting local biodiversity and agriculture. Rotary donated 200 saplings — including medicinal, flowering, and fruit-bearing varieties — and committed to supporting organic fertilisation and soil rejuvenation. The initiative also aims to create a live research lab for students, integrating Ayurveda with environmental preservation. Topics like spice garden development, organic fertilizer, and water conservation were discussed. Rotary and MGAC will further collaborate on agricultural research, farmer engagement, and student awareness. Present were Jyotsna Pandit, Pramod Misal, Arvind Patil, Sonali Jichkar, and others from Rotary, along with Dr Bharat Rathi, Dr Gaurav Savarkar, and Dr Jaymala Jadhav from MGAC.
