The Palamu Tiger Reserve officials are to renovate and update its Nature Interpretation Centre (NIC) in Betla.
Chief conservator of forest cum field director M P Singh said the Chief Secretary has asked us to revamp Nature Interpretation Centre during one of her review meetings in which PTR’s issues were listed too.
Singh said NIC was set up in 1993 and requires technically and electronically upgraded for the benefit of all the officers, the commoners who attend programmes of awareness about wild life, protection from snakes, dealing with elephants etc.
He said the NIC is to be equipped with latest virtual image technique which will give a feeling of being in wild life zone right inside the NIC.
There has come gadgets with highly sharp intensity and NIC will go for those gadgets reiterated Singh.
In the premise of the NIC there is the replica of elephant which has suffered the onslaughts of time and seasons both in all these years. This replica too needs a brush up said sources.
