Wish to adopt a tiger? Zoo may allow you soon

If you dream to adopt a tiger or an elephant, your wait might end very soon provided you shell out a few lakhs.
    Alipore Zoological Gardens is considering the idea of introducing an “adopt an animal” scheme, which will not only generate more revenue for the authority, but also raise awareness about animals in the society. Any individual or company will be able to sponsor an animal or a group of animals for a maximum period of one year.
    “We have not yet decided on the rates of sponsorship. The amount might only include the food and health expenses of animals. We may later incorporate the charges of zoo keepers,” said a senior garden official.
    A plaque with the company logo and name of the person sponsoring the enclosure will be displayed on a dimension board. Special benefits, including guided tours, free entry passes and an opportunity for closer interaction with animals will be provided to the sponsors. They can also film or photograph the animal for publicity.
    According to preliminary discussions, those sponsoring a tiger may have to pay anything between Rs 2.5 lakh and 3 lakh while for a giraffe, it may be around Rs 1.5 lakh. An elephant can be sponsored for anything between Rs 3 lakh and 4 lakh. The decision was taken since introducing the policy will encourage love for animals in society.
    “The individual or groups that sponsor animals develop an affection towards nature. The corporate body also gets recognition as nature lovers. The zoo gets financial assistance which helps in the upkeep of animals. In other zoos where animal adoption has been introduced, certain animals have become the mascot, helping the zoo rope in more finds,” added another official.
   
    Though the plan is at a nascent state, there are several corporate houses which have already expressed the desire to adopt animals. “An advertising company, a multinational bank and Ballygunj Shiksha Sadan School are among those who had once shown interest in the project. Thus, we hope to get adequate response,” concluded the zoo official. In Singapore zoo, those who adopt animals can also celebrate birthdays inside the campus. “It may be an extremely forward thinking plan in the Indian scenario. For the moment, basic adoption plan are on the anvil,” the zoo official added.
    “We have not taken a decision yet. The reason why zoological gardens allow adoption of animals is because it is a source of revenue and also spreads awareness,” said forest secretary KS Rajendrakumar.

My interview went for about 35 minutes.I came out around 4.45 pm. The results were declared at 8 pm...and when my name was declared it was one of happiest moments of my life....More so because almost all of my friends were selected. But, also feeling bad for some of my friends who did not get through. But you never know..a much bigger opportunity may be waiting for them.

just remember one thing : You need not prepare all subjects at once. Prepare those which you are comfortable...
So, all aspirants, prepare well, be confidant & never lose hope.. If you have failed yet, don’t get disappointed. Losers got a chance to correct their mistakes and winners lost their chance to correct their mistakes. If you are selected, remember, on that day you are better than those who are participated for that interview, but not the ‘Best’…

Finally, I thank freshersworld for helping me a lot during preparation & giving me the chance to share my experience...

I would also thank my parents, my teachers, and all my friends who always inspire me, help me and stand beside me all the time. I would also thank testfunda.com , m4maths.com, ITtestpapers.com which helped me in solving the aptitude questions.

Lastly, If you face any problem regarding the solution of appti questions or interview preparation...feel free to mail me at amit.keb@gmail.com.
So do your home work well and keep faith in GOD, best of luck to all of you...will meet you at TCS one day....
