'''Muvvala Vani Palem Colony''', known as '''MVP Colony''' is an urban neighborhood in the Indian city of [[Visakhapatnam]] and is Asia's largest township with a population of more than 250,000.<ref name=thehindu>{{cite news|title=A green locality turning into commercial hub|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Visakhapatnam/a-green-locality-turning-into-commercial-hub/article4720202.ece|accessdate=8 June 2014|work=The Hindu|date=16 May 2013}}</ref> The colony is divided into 16 sectors.{{not in citation given|date=December 2017}}<ref name=thehindu2>{{cite news|title=Ganta promises help for development of MVP colony|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-andhrapradesh/ganta-promises-help-for-development-of-mvp-colony/article4688198.ece|accessdate=8 June 2014|work=The Hindu|date=6 May 2013}}</ref>

It is a well-developed colony in [[Visakhapatnam]] with many hotels, restaurants, temples, parks, and also hospitals. A modern auditorium, an amphitheater and three convention halls worth {{INR}} 20 [[crore]] are being constructed here. The foundation stone for these was laid in February 2014.<ref name=thehindu/>

A track was laid along the foothills of Kailasgiri called the [[VMRDA Health Arena]] or Buddha Vanam which was inaugurated in January 2016. It was developed by VUDA after spending nearly ₹8 crores. Buddha Vanam with a 31-foot Buddha statue raised on a three-foot pedestal is an important attraction for tourists. Very quickly, it turned into a popular rendezvous for the health-conscious as well as tourists thronging the city for its impressive landscaping and magnificent grandeur. This is the only park in the city which has a long stretch for walking and cycling for which there is a dedicated track. The Buddha Vanam also attracts several women and senior citizens for meditation. Many visit the imposing statue area for yoga, Suryanamaskar, and laughing exercise.

Tenneti Park, which is at the intersection of Sector-9 and the beach road towards Bhimili (Marine drive), has views of the [[Bay of Bengal]] and the anchored ships in the harbor. The [[Shivaji Park, Visakhapatnam|Shivaji Park]] is located adjacent to the colony.<ref name=thehindu3>{{cite news|title=Walkers object to felling of trees|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-andhrapradesh/walkers-object-to-felling-of-trees/article885797.ece|accessdate=8 June 2014|work=The Hindu|date=14 November 2010}}</ref>
