Tata Steel laid the foundation of Tata Steel Zoological Park on 14th January 1990. Thereafter, the Tata Steel Zoological Society was established in 1991. The Zoological Society was bestowed with the responsibility of creating a zoo within the northern part of the Jubilee Park where wild animals will be exhibited to visitors in their near natural conditions and would provide employees of the city a place to relax and enjoy nature with their families. The Society took up the challenge and hired services of best available zoo architects and mangers available in the country during that period for establishing the zoo. The work of designing and planning the Tata zoo was assigned to Mr. N. D. Bachkheti, IFS, Retired Inspector General of Forests, Govt of India, who was among the pioneers in establishing the modern open zoos in the country. The zoo was finally opened to visitors on 3rd March, 1994. The main office of the society is located in Jubilee Park, Jamshedpur. The administration of the zoo is controlled by a Managing Committee of the Society. The term of the committee is for three years and the members of the committee are nominated by Tata Steel. The Managing committee constitutes eight members including following office bearers:
The society approves yearly budget of the zoo for its day-to-day operations and new projects to be taken up during that year. The execution of work and projects are carried out by zoo officials and consultants.
