In 2025, which two Indian cities were recognised as the country’s first Ramsar-accredited Wetland Cities ?
Indore and Udaipur
The Wetland City Accreditation is a voluntary scheme under the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands. It recognises cities that take exceptional steps to protect and wisely use their urban wetlands, and the title is awarded on the advice of an Independent Advisory Committee.
In January 2025, Indore (Madhya Pradesh) and Udaipur (Rajasthan) were named among the 31 new Wetland Cities accredited worldwide. They became the first Indian cities to receive this recognition — Indore for wetlands such as Sirpur Lake, and Udaipur for its lake system including Lake Pichola and Fateh Sagar.
Bhopal, Srinagar and Kochi have well-known wetlands (Bhoj Wetland, Dal Lake and Vembanad), but none of them was accredited as a Wetland City in 2025. So every pair that contains any of these three cities is incorrect, including the pair that combines Udaipur with Bhopal.
Indore and Udaipur option is correct.
