Patna: World Snake Day was celebrated with considerable enthusiasm and educational fervor at the Patna Zoo on Tuesday, organized by the Department of Environment, Forest and Climate Change. The primary objective of the program was to dispel common misconceptions about snakes prevalent in society and to raise public awareness about their crucial ecological role.

The event was inaugurated by Environment Minister Dr. Sunil Kumar and Additional Chief Secretary Harjot Kaur Bamhrah, alongside other officials. A total of 292 children from 11 schools across Patna actively participated in a painting competition, showcasing their understanding and creativity. Students also enthusiastically engaged in a quiz competition designed to impart knowledge about snakes.

Educating on Snake Behavior and Rescue Efforts

Patna Zoo is home to 56 snakes across 8 different species, including venomous ones like the Cobra and Russell Viper. During the program, attendees, including children and general citizens, received valuable information on the identification, behavior, and ecological significance of these reptiles. A practical session held in the 3-D hall further enhanced the learning experience.

A highlight of the event was the felicitation of the zoo’s dedicated snake rescue team. Members such as Madan Sharma (Supera), Ishq Mohammad, and Upendra Kumar were honored for their courageous and tireless work, having successfully rescued hundreds of snakes and safely relocated them.

Officials Advocate for Protection and Awareness

Environment Minister Dr. Sunil Kumar emphasized the integral role of snakes in the ecosystem, stating, “Snakes are an integral part of our ecosystem. They should be saved instead of killed.” Additional Chief Secretary Harjot Kaur Bamhra urged the public to contact the Forest Department immediately if they encounter a snake, providing the helpline number: 0612-2226911. She assured that the snake rescue team would respond promptly.

During the program, a suggestion was put forth for the director of Patna Zoo to develop a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) and share it with schools. This initiative aims to further enhance children’s understanding and foster sensitivity towards snakes, promoting coexistence and conservation.
