Mysore/Mysuru: Karnataka’s first Project Tiger was implemented in Bandipur Tiger Reserve in 1973 and 50 years (Golden Jubilee) have been successfully completed.
Declared in 1973, the Project Tiger is the first of its kind of project in India which initiated a concerted Tiger Protection Campaign as the tiger population was on the decline due to rampant hunting for pleasure and for trophies to be smuggled across the borders.
