Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended heartfelt congratulations to Indore and Udaipur for earning a coveted spot among the world’s 31 Wetland Accredited Cities. This prestigious recognition under the Ramsar Convention highlights India’s commitment to sustainable development and the seamless integration of nature within urban landscapes.
The Wetland City Accreditation, a global initiative, promotes the conservation of urban and peri-urban wetlands. Indore and Udaipur’s inclusion showcases their exemplary efforts in preserving vital ecosystems that support biodiversity and ecological balance.
Indore, renowned for the Sirpur Wetland, is a hub for water bird gatherings and is being developed as a bird sanctuary. Meanwhile, Udaipur, famously known as the “City of Lakes,” is celebrated for its picturesque lakes that play a pivotal role in its ecology and thriving tourism industry.
This international accolade not only brings pride to these cities but also sets a benchmark for other urban areas in India to champion ecological harmony and sustainable urban growth.
