The Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB) has received approval from the State Board for Wildlife to construct a 42-acre campus in the eco-sensitive zone of Bannerghatta National Park, located in Bengaluru Urban district, India. This first phase of the project will include new facilities for students at Mahanthalingapura in Anekal taluk. Importantly, the project will not involve the diversion of forest land, as it is being developed on private land. However, it is under scrutiny as the Supreme Court reviews a report from the Central Empowered Committee regarding the shrinking of the park's eco-sensitive zone. The proposed campus is situated 303 meters from the park's boundary, and due to its built-up area exceeding 20,000 square meters, it will require final clearance from the National Board for Wildlife (NBWL). Additionally, the committee reviewed proposals for road widening in nearby wildlife sanctuaries, indicating ongoing development pressures in the region.
