In Haryana, where is the Chinkara Breeding Centre located?
- A.
Pinjore
- B.
Panipat
- C.
Jhajjar
- D.
Bhiwani
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
The Haryana Forest Department operates dedicated state-run conservation-breeding centres for specific species, each sited at one notified location rather than spread across every district or clubbed into a general zoo.
The Chinkara (Indian gazelle) Breeding Centre is one such dedicated facility, established by the Forest Department at Kairu on the Bhiwani-Behal road -- that is, in Bhiwani district. This matches the saved option, Bhiwani.
Cross-check against the other Haryana towns named in the options:
Pinjore hosts the Vulture Conservation and Breeding Centre, run by the Forest Department for vultures, not chinkara.
Jhajjar district hosts the Bhindawas and Khaparwas wildlife (bird) sanctuaries, not a chinkara-specific breeding centre.
Panipat is known historically for the three Battles of Panipat and today for its handloom/textile industry -- it has no dedicated wildlife breeding facility.
So among the four named towns, only Bhiwani hosts the notified Chinkara Breeding Centre.
