Initially, the inhabitants of Kolkata were generous in their support of the Zoo's establishment, both financially and by donating animals from their own collections to the Zoo. Ram Brahma Sanyal (1851-1908), the first Indian superintendent of Alipore Zoo. ‘After then, land development began, and animal homes were built to house the animals. The first animal house built within the Zoo was "Mullick House," which was funded by Raja Rajendra Mullick Bahadur, the first Indian patron. This house was home to fowls and pheasants, which began breeding as early as February 1876. Following Mullick House, Burdwan House, now known as an ‘open air moated enclosure for lions, was built at a cost of RS35,000/-, with the Maharaja of Burdwan donating the entire sum. Other animal houses/enclosures developed over time, each bearing the name of a kind donor. Schwendler and the famed botanist George King served on an honorary governing committee that ‘oversaw the park's early operations. Ram Brahma Sanyal, the zoo's first Indian superintendent, did much to boost the zoo's reputation and achieved good captive breeding success at an era when such endeavours were uncommon. A live birth of 02 the rare Sumatran Rhinoceros in 1889 was one of the zoo's many successes. The following pregnancy in captivity took place in 1997 at the Cincinnati Zoo, but it resulted in a miscarriage. In 2001, the Cincinnati Zoo finally reported a live birth. Sanyal, who published the fist handbook on captive animal keeping, made Alipore Zoo a pioneer among zoos in the 19th century and early part of the 20th century. For its time, the zoo had an extraordinarily high scientific quality. After the establishment of Central Zoo Authority in India in the year 1992, open air moated enclosures for primates, white tiger, Indian elephants Indian lions and mugger, gharial & salt water crocodile were constructed with the financial help of Central Zoo Authority. During this petiod, remodeling of open air moated enclosure for hippopotamus was also carried out with the financial assistance of Government of West Bengal. Since shifting of management of the Zoological Garden, Alipore from the Management Committee to the West Bengal Zoo Authority in the month of August, 2009, _ several developmental activities started at the Zoo and because of those activities face of the zoo changed enormously. Several outlived animal house like “Echidna House”, “Balaram House”, “Kiosk House’, “Jungle Fowl Enclosure’, “Cat Cage’, “Leanto Shed” etc. were demolished and new enclosures are built. Also species specific enrichment work has been done for different enclosures.ABOUT US basic information, management personnel & owner/ operator Pe eee Ly De) Eel ETUC ele ) Name of the Zoo Zoological Garden, Alipore, Kolkata =| Year of Establishment 1875 “| Address of the Zoo 2No. Alipore Road, Kolkata-700027, West Bengal, India CS State West Bengal “> Telephone Number +913329701936 “Fax Number +913324791585 E-mail Address Director: director@kolkatazoo.in Deputy Director: dydir@kolkatazoo.in Assistant Director: astdir@kolkatazoa.in Website https://www.kolkatazoo.in Distance from nearest Airport: 17.4 km Railway Station: 7 km Bus Stand: 0 km Recognition valid up to (Date) _Fromletter Category of the Zoo Large Area (in Acre) 18.81 Ha.
