The eco-park was envisaged as manicured gardens and amusement options for children, a project the Birsa zoo authorities hoped would boost footfall and revenue. The estimated cost was around Rs 5.6 crore and the park was expected to be ready within a year and a half of the foundation function.

Zoo director S.K. Gupta said they hadn't received permission from the Central Zoo Authority (CZA) yet. "A few months ago, a proposal was sent to CZA. The apex body, I think, held a meeting too. But, unless the proceedings are intimated to us, nothing can be said about this project," he added.

Gupta stressed that they were expecting to received details from CZA soon, but couldn't specify when. Asked why the foundation stone was laid before seeking mandatory clearances and readying relevant plans, he refused to comment.

Incidentally, Gupta joined as zoo director after the foundation ceremony last year.

A forest department insider conceded that the foundation stone was laid in haste.

"There was no plan ready. It is just that a few officials wanted to build a park and they got the stone laid by the CM in a hurry. Such practice isn't alien in Jharkhand," he said, adding that senior officials in the department now believed that it might not be feasible to invest funds in the project.

Several forest and wildlife projects are languishing in the cold storage. A proposed zoo night safari never saw the light of day while the vulture breeding centre in Muta is still awaiting...

Pros: Greenery, it's quite a Jungle indeed Walking trails (around 8-8.5k steps overall) Good set of Animals in the park Drinking water stations Sitting Arrangement throughout the trail Boating Facility Available (Pedal Boats) Washroom/Restrooms inside the park Snake House (Tickets to be purchased separately) Well maintained, trimmed trees and shrubs Paid Parking space available Separate ticket lines for male and female (even if it's the same counter with people Sitting on the other side)

Cons: Management does not care about the time and money of the visitors. There are cages but no animals inside it and there is no information available on which animals are not available. While the rules ask visitor not to throw anything inside the case, the elephant rider is proactively asking visitor to throw cash, coins inside the elephant yard for him to collect it later. Snake House is simply too less for the 10rs ticket as there may be not even 10 varieties of snakes available. Couple of cages are empty and couple have same variety. Not enough watchers to regulate the rules and visitors don't care unless anyone is there is reinforce it

Here you go: Overall, it was quite a memorable day as it had been more than 10 years since I visited this Zoo last. Alot has changed and it changed for good. I was surprised to see the improved and was excited to realize that this much has been done over a decade. With Couple of tigers and Lion(and lioness) in the zoo, things were quite adventurous. Missed to see wolf, Hynaes. Limited crocs for name sake and baby elephant to fill the yard. Limited birds, but starting with peacocks was still a delight and ending with monkeys is always fun in a way. It rained when I completed almost 85%of the trail so that spoiled the fun towards the end but overall it was quite a interesting one. The facilities created for water, washrooms, sitting spaces with sheds, etc quite a thoughtfulness there.

I would anyways ask the Zoo management to educate their elephant riders who talks about lord Ganesh blessing and ask money in turn. A Zoo should not be made a place of religion but education and awareness for real and that too about the species.

A good weekend gateway, perfect for solo. Couple and family visitors. Would recommend carrying Water and umbrella while getting in as no one likes to have their experience ruined with rain and because of...
