MoU Signed Between India and Germany for Research on Triassic Era Fossils in the Satpura Region
Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav visited the State Museum of Natural History in Stuttgart. Upon his arrival, he was warmly welcomed by Prof. Dr. Lars Kragman and his team. A significant Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed between the Government of Madhya Pradesh and German researchers.
This MoU will enable joint research on Triassic-era fossils found in the Satpura region. It will help Indian and German researchers better understand the ecosystem of dinosaurs and their contemporary species. The research will be particularly important for understanding the ecological conditions in which these species thrived.
Following the MoU, new excavations will be conducted in the Satpura region to gather extensive information about the Triassic continental environment and climate. The collaboration aims to facilitate the excavation, preservation, and exhibition of these fossils. The findings will be displayed and published through the Madhya Pradesh State Museum, and the fossils will also be made available for global researchers to study.
The Stuttgart State Museum of Natural History was officially established in 1791. It is one of Germany’s oldest natural history museums, housing an extensive collection of ancient fossils and dinosaur remains. The museum boasts over eleven million artifacts in its archives.
