Anna Konidala Donates ₹6.3 Lakh to Visakhapatnam Zoo

Anna Konidala, the wife of a state leader, gave a big gift of 6.3 lakh rupees to a zoo in Visakhapatnam.

The money will help feed and look after an Asiatic elephant and a Bengal tiger for a whole year.

She gave 4.3 lakh for the elephant and 2 lakh for the tiger.

The gift was made on her birthday, August 1.

The zoo said the donation is part of a program that lets people adopt animals and that the money can be used for tax savings.

The zoo’s curator said this is a great way to celebrate birthdays by helping animals.

The donation shows how people can care for wildlife and support conservation.

The money also helps the zoo keep the animals healthy and happy.

The donation can be written off on taxes under a special rule.

This is a nice example of giving back to nature.
