Visit to Zoological Park

The School organized an excursion to National Zoological Park, Delhi on 19th February, Tuesday, where children showed a great interest in knowing about different kind of Animals and their eating habits. The children were even curious to visit from the moment they heard about visiting to national zoological Park. The Delhi zoo came decades later after New Delhi was built. Although  he idea to have a zoo at the national capital was mooted in 1951, the park was inaugurated in November 1959. In 1952 the Indian Board for Wildlife created a committee to look into creating a zoo for Delhi. The government of India was to develop the zoo and then turn it over to Delhi as a working enterprise. In 1953 the committee approved the location of the zoo, and in October 1955 it  ssigned N. D. Bachkheti of the Indian Forest Service to oversee the creation of the zoo.
