The Indira Gandhi Zoological Park (IGZP) began its Wildlife Week celebrations on Friday with a drawing competition for students, themed “Connecting Habitats, Thriving Wildlife.” The week‑long event runs from October 2 to 8 and includes elocution contests, fancy dress, poster presentations, and photography competitions.
A butterfly workshop and wildlife awareness programmes are also part of the schedule. Chief Conservator of Forests I. Kasi Viswanadha Raju and IGZP Curator and Divisional Forest Officer Ravindra Dhama released the full programme. Students entered the drawing competition in three categories based on their class levels.
The competition aims to promote awareness of wildlife, habitats and conservation. Merit certificates and prizes will be presented to winners at the valedictory ceremony on October 8.
