Interested in saving tax? Try
adopting a wild animal.
Faced with an acute financial crunch, the Nandankanan
Zoo authorities in Orissa have come up with a unique scheme to raise money
from animal lovers and reward donors with tax benefits.Under this scheme,
one can actually own the rare animal species kept in the zoo — each one
of them, from the small and the large to the gentle and the fierce.
The zoo says it will allow visitors to adopt any of its 12,000 animals and birds by paying an annual sum of money.A small bird, for instance, can be adopted for as less as Rs 500 per annum. But if you do not want to settle for anything less than the tiger, then you have to pay as much as Rs. 1 lakh per annum. But no one is complaining.Once you adopt an animal, you get a special entry pass — your key to check on your pets. Your suggestions for improving the living conditions of a particular animal will be heeded to and your name will appear on the cage. The big bonus: you get tax exemption on the money you spend on the adopted animal.
An unique way ...... seems to be a good initiative .....
When the world was celebrating India's win in the Cricket Twenty20 (including this blogger) .... Anand was crowned the Undisputed world chess champion at Mexico City. Better late then never ........
The other not so famed, praised victory belongs to the Kalinga Institute boys called "Jungle crows" in the TourAid.Org sponsored world Under14 rugby championship recently defeating a fancied SouthAfrican team by a margin of 19-5.
