Carnivores are fed once daily for 6 days in a week. Every Monday is kept as fast day for the carnivores. Herbivores are fed with dry rations in the morning and leaf or green fodder during afternoons. Grain and fruit eating birds are fed in the mornings. Feeding of animals is overseen through a feed schedule and is supervised by the Curator.

There is a separate kitchen cum store building near to the Vet Hospital. This building has two storerooms, a kitchen, meat inspection room, and a storekeeper’s room. The distribution of the rations takes place twice daily

The sanitation section is maintained in two different ways:-

1. Sanitation in and around animal enclosure.
2. General cleanliness of the park including office buildings, toilets, roads and paths etc.

The keepers and assistant keepers exclusively look after the first part of the sanitation work as part of their day-to-day work. In addition a sanitation schedule has been introduced which is followed in the park. Implementation of the schedule is supervised by the Curator and the Vet Officer.

General sanitation work is out-sourced to a private contractor on annual contract basis. Total cleaning of roads, paths, drains, toilets, office and all other buildings, hospital, picnic area etc. is done by the contractor’s labourer every day. A field assistant supervises this work.

Maintenance work of enclosures, roads, paths and other facilities in the park is required regularly. We need a civil construction work labour, plumber, electrician, carpenter, mechanic, welder, painter etc. as there is a need for constant repair and maintenance work.

To meet this requirement we have appointed a maintenance contractor who undertakes most of the maintenance jobs. Specialized jobs like mechanical or electrical jobs are got done on casual basis by engaging technicians. A field assistant supervises these jobs

Maintaining security in the zoo is a specialized function, as this involves taking care of both animal and visitors’ safety. It also involves protection of the property from damage and theft. The security guards are posted at all vulnerable points like Lion cage, Tiger house, Crocodiles, Leopard, Boating bay, Exit and Entry gates etc.

This job has been assigned to a specialised private security agency. Round the clock security is provided in the park.

There is a sewerage line, which passes close to the Zoological Park. There is a running duct that carries the surface water disposal from the Zoo. These lines are connected to the animal enclosures.

Further the solid waste from the cleanings of the animal enclosures is disposed off in an incinerator located towards the end of the Zoological Park.

Other waste materials from the garden like papers, plastic, dust bin collections etc. are collected in the waste material collection cradle kept by Tata Steel Health Department. (now Jusco). This is removed and cleaned every week.

Visitor amenities are offered at several places in the Park. Care is taken to provide all the necessary facilities to the visitors. viz:-
