The Assam government has approved a Rs 360 crore overhaul of the Assam State Zoo in Guwahati aimed at strengthening wildlife conservation infrastructure and improving visitor amenities, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said. The modernisation project seeks to reposition the zoo as a wildlife-centric facility that meets contemporary standards of animal care, conservation and public engagement.<\/span><\/p>\n Reviewing progress, Sarma said the redevelopment includes a modern veterinary hospital, a dedicated wildlife rescue centre, what the project description calls the world\u2019s largest bird aviary, and new, upgraded enclosures for animals. These components are designed to improve medical care, emergency response for injured or displaced wildlife, and the quality of habitats on display.<\/span><\/p>\n The programme was launched last year and has reached roughly 27 percent completion, the Chief Minister said, describing it as a key state initiative. Work is continuing steadily across multiple components, with priority given to facilities that directly affect animal welfare and visitor safety.<\/span><\/p>\n Sarma has directed project officials to study operations at some of India\u2019s largest and most advanced zoological parks so that best practices can inform the Assam redevelopment. He said exposure to leading zoos\u2019 standards and workflows will help shape enclosure design, veterinary protocols and visitor services at the Guwahati facility.<\/span><\/p>\n Officials expect the redevelopment to substantially enhance the zoo\u2019s infrastructure, create better habitats for resident animals and deliver improved amenities for visitors. If completed as planned, the Assam State Zoo aims to join the country\u2019s leading zoological institutions in both conservation capability and public experience.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Assam government has approved a Rs 360 crore overhaul of the Assam State Zoo in Guwahati aimed at strengthening wildlife conservation infrastructure and improving visitor amenities, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said.
