In a city called Indore, a very important leader named Mohan Yadav opened something new and exciting.

It was the first virtual zoo in the whole country of India.

A virtual zoo is a place where you can see and feel like you are in a jungle without actually being there.

There is also a special 14-D movie theatre and a pretend jungle safari.

Visitors get to experience forests and wild animals using new technology.

It took about Rs 4.5 crore to build this place, and both the government and private companies helped pay for it.

The chief minister watched some movies there with schoolchildren and said he had an amazing time.

He also opened a new fountain by pressing a remote control and visited an aquarium with colourful fish.

The city expects the new facility to make money for the Indore Municipal Corporation.

Children, residents, and tourists will be able to learn about nature and wildlife while having fun.
