Kaziranga National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site of India and is known for the Great Indian one-horned Rhinoceros
Home to the iconic one-horned rhinoceros, Kaziranga also serves as a breeding ground for elephants, wild water buffalo, and swamp deer. Rising tiger numbers led to its Tiger Reserve status in 2006
On May 15, Chauhan virtually inaugurated the newly constructed Academic cum Administrative building of the College of Horticulture, Thenzawl, and the new PG girls hostel at the College of Veterinary Sciences & Animal Husbandry, Selesih, via video conference
The Union Minister highlighted that the state's fertile land and favourable climatic conditions make it an ideal place for horticulture development, despite the challenges posed by its hilly terrain, deep valleys, and the difficulty of large-scale farming due to limited flat land
