The Madhya Pradesh Chapter
प्रकृति के साथ प्रगति
(Progress. With Nature.)
22 - 23 October 2026
Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh
Madhya Pradesh is at a turning point. Groundwater tables are falling. Forests and water systems are under sustained pressure. The decisions made over the next decade, by government, industry and communities together, will shape how the state grows, builds and sustains itself for generations.
The Madhya Pradesh Chapter is where that conversation takes shape: a two-day conference bringing government, industry and expertise together around the state's most pressing resource priority, water, to build shared clarity on what comes next.
Groundwater depletion, water stress and scarcity are not future risks for Madhya Pradesh. They are present ones. They sit at the centre of the state's forests, its agriculture, its industry, its cities.


The Madhya Pradesh Chapter moves this conversation from vision to ground-level action: policy commitments, set out in the Inaugural Session; technical work, on forests, natural resources, circular economy and clean technology; and concrete commitments, captured in the closing Declaration.
The Madhya Pradesh Chapter is not a one-off. It is the founding chapter of a platform built for scale, with conferences across 14 states already planned, each shaped by the one issue that matters most where it is held: the resource under strain, the priority closest to the government, the challenge closest to becoming a crisis for its people. Every state that follows will be decided the same way: by evidence, not by default.


Rooted in Action:
The Madhya Pradesh Chapter also carries forward Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam, the national tree planting movement, through a dedicated plantation initiative and a symbolic The SSAVE Project’s Green Commitment for the state.

Recognition:
The SSAVE Awards Ceremony takes place on Day One, recognising sustainability leadership, impact and innovation across Madhya Pradesh's government, industry and community.
The Madhya Pradesh Chapter runs across two days in October 2026, organised by The Ahead Group. Speak, attend or partner: join SSAVE Circle.
