Sundarvan’s

as
a
catalyst
and
stimulate
the
process
of
inquiry
into
nature.
Recognized

collection
of
reptiles,
birds
and
small
mammals.
A
very
popular
place
with
children
and
youth,
Sundarvan
receives
nearly
100,000
visitors
annually.
This
nature
discovery
centre
was
inaugurated
by
Dr.
Salim
Ali,
the
well-known
ornithologist,
on
28th
October,
1978.
Nature

and
snake

Through
these

For

specifically
designed
one
day

an
excellent
tool
for
introducing,
understanding
and
reaffirming
many
environmental
concepts
that
go
beyond
