Govt to develop theme-based parks inspired by Barcelona
Bhopal: Drawing inspiration from Barcelona's artistic and architectural landmarks, CM Mohan Yadav has announced plans to develop theme-based parks, and promote cultural conservation in the state. The announcement came on the final day of his Spain tour, during which he visited Park Guell, the Sagrada Família and the Picasso Museum. The visit began on Friday with Park Guell -- a UNESCO World Heritage site. Yadav admired the park's harmony between nature and architecture, noting iconic elements like the Dragon Staircase, the Hypostyle Hall with 86 columns and the Serpentine Bench decorated with vibrant mosaics. He described the park as a model of urban beautification, green development and culturally rich public spaces, adding that theme-based artistic parks blending traditional art can similarly be developed in Madhya Pradesh. Yadav also visited the Sagrada Família, one of Europe's most renowned basilicas under construction for over 140 years. He appreciated Gaudí's visionary work that unites spiritual architecture, organic forms and symbolic art. The CM emphasised that such long-term, people-centric and globally inspired design approaches should guide the development of religious sites like Ujjain, Omkareshwar and Chitrakoot.

MP not just land of promise, but platform for investment: CM
Bhopal: Madhya Pradesh is no longer just a land of potential, but a robust platform with a supportive ecosystem for investment, CM Mohan Yadav said in Spain on Friday night. Addressing a gathering of the Indian diaspora and "Friends of MP" in Barcelona, Yadav said his govt had undertaken significant reforms in policy, processes and incentives to create a business-friendly environment that inspires investor confidence. "Indians living abroad are not just citizens but also custodians of Indian culture," the CM said. He said the sense of belonging he felt among the Indian community in Barcelona made him feel as if he was in Ujjain. "Wherever Indians go, they uphold traditions and festivals with dignity. This interaction is not merely a dialogue but a heartfelt connection." He said Madhya Pradesh's investment policies were crafted keeping investors' needs in mind. "Processes have been streamlined through digitisation and fast-track approvals. A recent example includes the immediate online land allocation to an entrepreneur in London." Yadav announced that to boost medical education, the govt will offer 25 acres for just Rs 1 to institutions or investors setting up medical colleges — enabling quality healthcare access in rural and underserved regions. The CM stated highlighting tourism promotion, that hotel projects worth up to Rs100 crore are eligible for financial assistance of up to Rs 30 crore. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Paras Sector 59 Gurgaon | Paras Floret Low-Rise Flats Paras The Florett Book Now Undo This aims to develop world-class tourism infrastructure in the state.

Yadav announced that over 3 lakh solar pumps will be distributed to farmers to promote energy self-reliance—reducing irrigation dependence on electricity, cutting power bills, and advancing green energy in the state. The CM said Madhya Pradesh has surpassed even Punjab in wheat production. The govt is promoting agro-based industries through the development of food processing units and agri-clusters, boosting both farmer income and industrial growth. He shared that the state is integrating small towns into the digital and tech mainstream by facilitating the establishment of IT industries, helping local youth find employment within their hometowns and preventing migration. Yadav, concluding his address, urged the Indian diaspora to actively participate in Madhya Pradesh's development journey. "The govt doesn't just listen—it acts on every suggestion," he said. "This state is the heart of India, where every effort and connection is truly welcomed."
