Andhra Pradesh Deputy CM Inaugurates Elephant Camp, Reviews Wildlife Protection Project

Imagine there are special elephants trained to help people and protect farms in Andhra Pradesh.

The Deputy Chief Minister, K. Pawan Kalyan, opened a new training center for these 'Kumki' elephants.

These elephants will help guide wild elephants away from villages and farms, where they sometimes cause damage and can be dangerous.

He also looked at a big plan called 'HANUMAN' to use new technology to keep track of the wild elephants and keep everyone safer.

He wants to make sure this plan works well by setting deadlines and having different government groups work together.

He also suggested new ways to help farmers, like growing different crops or starting businesses like beekeeping, to make them less affected by the elephants.

They are also planning to build a special fence to keep the elephants out and plant many trees to make the area more forest-like.
