MP has myriad of resources, rich forests, plenty of river networks, enormous biodiversity, and rich sources of minerals. These resources need to be put to judicious use. This fact coupled with low levels of development, relatively appreciable level of poverty, Ranges of environmental problems like droughts, and floods and low financial investments has hampered the speed of development in the state.

The specificities of Madhya Pradesh dictate that EPCO makes a strategic shift to focus on environment issues that confront the poor in the rural and urban areas. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) of The United Nations, which have become increasingly relevant in the context of the State of Madhya Pradesh and its sustainable development, need not be addressed.

To align EPCO with the other progressive policies of the state and enable it to respond to environmental challenges and empowering it to play a pivotal role in mainstreaming of environmental concerns in various Governments for the sustainable development of state.
