- **Why Statement 1 is correct:** In March 2025, the Central Government officially notified Madhav National Park as India’s 58th Tiger Reserve (and the 9th Tiger Reserve within the state of Madhya Pradesh). This notification helps reinforce a critical wildlife corridor in the Central Indian landscape and operationalizes protective conservation plans for its tiger population.
- **Why Statement 2 is correct:** Sakhya Sagar is a historic, man-made reservoir created in 1918 that sits completely within the southern portion of the national park. In July 2022, it was officially designated as a Wetland of International Importance under the Ramsar Convention, highly recognized for supporting rich populations of marsh crocodiles and migratory waterbirds.
- **Why Statement 3 is incorrect:** Madhav National Park is situated entirely within the Shivpuri district of northwestern Madhya Pradesh, forming a part of the Upper Vindhyan hills. Although the district itself is close to the state border, the geographic boundary of the national park is entirely self-contained within Madhya Pradesh and is not shared with Rajasthan.
