Bhubaneswar: Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Monday informed that the Centre has released over Rs 36 crore to Odisha during 2019-21 under centrally-sponsored schemes for tiger and elephant conservation.

For the tiger conservation projects, the Centre has released Rs 11.19 crore for Satkosia Sanctuary and Rs 15.68 crore for Similipal National Park while Rs 9.68 crore had been released for elephant conservation, he said.
