The India Eco-development project was started in Pench Tiger Reserve in 1996-97 with the aid of the World Bank. Under this project 99 villages around the Tiger Reserve have been identified in order to develop its own resources so that their dependency on the project area is mitigated. In return they co operate and participate in the protection of the tiger.
