The grant shall be utilized by the Government to enhance the wildlife conservation activities at Ranthambore National Park.

This will strengthen the surveillance and monitoring infrastructure and would prevent poaching in the forest area. The grant comes as part of the International Tiger Day celebrations to raise awareness about the conservation of wild cats.
On the occasion, Ms. Priya Agarwal Hebbar, Director, Vedanta Limited said “As we are nearing 50 years of tiger conservation in India, it’s time to reflect on what more we can do for our wildcats. Though India is number one in terms of tiger population, at nearly 3,000, our responsibility is to protect and provide them a sustainable yet safe environment to flourish. With TACO, we are committed to provide world class facilities to improve the future of animals across the states. In this pursuit, I am pleased to pledge our support for the Ranthambore National Park”
After the inception of “Project Tiger” by Government of India, several initiatives to stop poaching, encroachment and ensuring safety of tigers are being regularly undertaken by the Government of Rajasthan. Ranthambore National Park, located in Sawai Madhopur District of Rajasthan is one of the biggest and most popular tiger reserves of the country. The national park in Rajasthan is primarily known as the home to Royal Bengal Tigers with 70 Tigers. Other than this, the national park also has a rich population of leopards, sloth bears, several deer species like chital (spotted deer), marsh crocodile, palm civet, jackal, desert fox etc.
