Action Plan for Introduction of Cheetah in India

Action Plan for Introduction of Cheetah in India


As you are aware that Hon’ble Prime Minister has bought back long-extinct Cheetahs into our ecosystem, and every Indian is proud of this event. 

The first phase of the ‘Action Plan for Introduction of Cheetah in India’ witnessed 8 Cheetahs being released in the Kuno National Park, Madhya Pradesh. This is the world's first inter-continental large wild carnivore translocation project.  In an endeavour to promote this initiative & underline its importance, Hon’ble PM Modi in his Mann Ki Baat on September 25, 2022 asked the citizens to participate in MyGov Cheetah Contests.


Participation is open to all Citizens of India from 26th September, 2022.

Last date for participation is 26th October 2022.
