The members of KIIT Animal and Environmental Welfare Society functioning at KSAC visited Nandankanan Zoological Park as part of their Field visit. They were taken to the different facilities at Nandankanan including the zoo hospital, zoo laboratory, Pangolin breeding centre, Egg Incubation room, Feed Distribution Centre and to the Computerized Radiography unit.
They were briefed about the various research activities that are being carried out and the state-of-the-art laboratory that caters to it.
