An Orchid Park is being developed by the Horticulture Department on about 100 acre land in Chhindwara district. Poly Houses will be developed by youth in this park. Land has already been earmarked for the park. Floriculture in this park will give a new identity to Chhindwara district.

Recently, a study tour has also been conducted by the delegation of the Government of India to explore possibility of cashew nut farming in Chhindwara district.

Along with the conventional farming, efforts are being made for necessary arrangements for fruits and dry fruits farming in the district.

Youth of Mainikhapa tribal region of Chhindwara district will be encouraged for floriculture. Number of farmers will increase after the development of the Orchid Park. Necessary infrastructure will also be developed by the District Administration.
