New Delhi, October 11

Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav today urged zoos to become financially independent and consider CSR and public-private partnerships, and focus on local birds and animals as priority species for conservation.

He was speaking at a national conference for zoo directors and veterinarians organised by the Central Zoo Authority and hosted by Sardar Patel Zoological Park, Kevadia, Gujarat, where Prani Mitra Awards were also given in various categories.

This years’ winners include Harpal Singh, Educationist, the Mahendra Chaudhary Zoological Park Chatbir (Outstanding Educationist/ Biologist Award), and Dr Vibhu Prakash Mathur, Director Vulture Conservation Breeding Centre, Pinjore (Outstanding Director).

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
