Gujarat sees a GIB chick after a decade, through a novel conservation measure - the jumpstart approach, coordinated by the Ministry, State Forest Departments of Rajasthan and Gujarat, and Wildlife Institute of India. Envisioned by PM Shri @narendramodi ji in 2011 to conserve GIB in its natural habitats including Gujrat, Project GIB was launched in 2016. As a result the number of birds in conservation breeding centres, started at Sam and Ramdevra in Rajasthan, have reached 73 with addition of 5 new chicks in this season and we are moving ahead towards rewilding of birds in near future. In achieving another milestone, a female GIB, tagged in August 2025, had laid an infertile egg in Kutch, as this population has lost all its males long back. In a major trans-state conservation effort, a captive-bred GIB egg from the conservation breeding program in Rajasthan was transported by road over 19 hours in a handheld portable incubator and was replaced in the nest on 22 March. The female completed incubating this fertile egg and hatched it on March 26. The field monitoring team found the young chick being reared by its foster mother. This effort is among one of the many steps to recover the critically endangered Great Indian Bustard populations. With the commitment to save GIB, we are making great progress in India’s conservation journey. Congratulations to all scientists, field officers and wildlife enthusiasts who made this possible. We are keeping our fingers crossed for the survival of the chick. At the same time we remain committed to leaving no stone unturned to make the endeavour successful. 🎥 The GIB takes a stroll with her chick.

📢 गुजरात 🛣️ गुजरात के सूरत ज़िले में राष्ट्रीय राजमार्ग-48 के कामरेज-चलथान सेक्शन (लंबाई 13.875 किमी) को 6-लेन बनाने और सर्विस रोड के निर्माण के लिए 686.15 करोड़ रुपये की लागत के साथ स्वीकृति दी गई है।। यह कॉरिडोर देश के सबसे व्यस्त राष्ट्रीय राजमार्ग में से एक है और यहाँ भारी मात्रा में कमर्शियल ट्रैफिक आता है, क्योंकि इस हाईवे के किनारे कई बड़े इंडस्ट्रियल हब मौजूद हैं। इस प्रोजेक्ट के तहत, मौजूदा 4-लेन वाले मुख्य कैरिजवे को 6-लेन वाले कैरिजवे में अपग्रेड किया जाएगा, साथ ही दोनों तरफ सर्विस रोड भी बनाई जाएंगी; इससे कॉरिडोर की क्षमता में काफ़ी बढ़ोतरी होगी। इससे कमर्शियल/लंबे रूट वाले ट्रैफिक को लोकल ट्रैफिक से अलग किया जा सकेगा, जिससे सड़क सुरक्षा बढ़ेगी और यात्रा का समय भी कम होगा। #PragatiKaHighway #GatiShakti @PMOIndia @Bhupendrapbjp @AmitShah @mansukhmandviya @CRPaatil @Nimu_Bambhaniya @imukeshdalal @iJagdishBJP @BJP4Gujarat @BJP4India
