The Museum deals with general aspects of natural history, depicts the flora, fauna and ecosystems
of Region and promotes conservation and environmental awareness through its
exhibit galleries and educational activities.
The value of
a Regional Museum of Natural History in the Central Region of the country to
highlight the flora and fauna
and natural resources of the area, protection of ecosystems and the
environmental awareness needs hardly any justification. It is encouraging that
the State Government was keen to have such a facility developed at Bhopal for
which the state offered the necessary land.
The RMNH at Bhopal would fulfill the following objects:
1.
Develop exhibits depicting the flora fauna and
geology of the region.
2. Depict ecological relationships among plants and animals including man, and
emphasise the importance of conservation exhibits and educational activities.
3. Provide special exhibits and activities to enrich
the school curriculum in Biology, particularly on environment aspects.
4. Develop appropriate educational programmes for
children, adults and family groups
to create environments awareness.
5.
Publish popular educational material useful for
environmental education.
6.
Develop appropriate institutional material within
the Region to promote environment education.
