Union Minister of State for Environment, Forest and Climate Change Kirti Vardhan Singh today launched a mobile application offering a smart digital guide to the zoo and inaugurated self-ticketing kiosks at the National Zoological Park (NZP) in New Delhi. The initiatives aim to enhance visitor experience by enabling easier online ticket booking and promoting digital services at the zoo.

 

The NZP Saathi App features an interactive digital map and smart navigation system that help visitors locate animal enclosures, washrooms, buggy points, exits, and other facilities. It also offers thematic tours, including Express Tour, Family Tour, Grand Zoo Tour, and a personalised “My Tour” option.

 

The self-ticketing kiosks will facilitate online booking through UPI-based digital payments, along with free Wi-Fi connectivity for on-the-spot ticketing.

 

During his visit, the Minister also held a meeting with officials and section in-charges to review ongoing initiatives and discuss strategies for the modernisation and efficient management of the National Zoological Park.

 

He also inspected the bird houses and reviewed summer management arrangements for the zoo’s avian collection, assessing enclosure conditions and suggesting further improvements in animal welfare and habitat management.
