Nehru Zoological Park in Hyderabad Bags ISO Honour For 6th Year

The Nehru Zoological Park in Hyderabad has earned a new distinction, that of being the only zoo in the country to receive ISO certification for excellence in management for the sixth year in a row. 

Presenting the ISO 9001:2015 certificate, forest and environment minister Konda Surekha on Tuesday congratulated zoo officials and staff for their hard work and dedication. The Nehru Zoo, established on October 6, 1963, is one of India’s largest zoos, and



attracts more than 30 lakh visitors every year.

Surekha said Hyderabad’s zoo was the only one in the country to receive ISO 9001:2015 certification for six years in a row along with a prestigious five-star rating for excellence in zoo management. 

“This rating shows the zoo’s world-class standards in animal welfare, enclosure design, nutrition, veterinary care, conservation activities, research, and public education,” she said.
