Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Deer

The correct answer is Deer.

• Deer is the district symbol/mascot of Jaipur.
• For the conservation and safety of forest animals, the Rajasthan Forest Department has come up with a unique idea to create awareness.
• Each district of the Rajasthan will be represented by an animal mascot.
• The selection of the mascot will be based on the species present in the particular district.
• For Example, Crane has been declared the mascot of Bharatpur.
• The main purpose of the initiative is to create awareness amongst the masses.
• A two-day programme has been organised in each district to where school and college students will be educated about the country's rich fauna and way to conserve this.

  • Bronze winged Jacana in Banswara
  • Alligator in Baran
