Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh celebrates a significant conservation milestone as a cheetah named Nirva gives birth to five cubs. This brings the park's cheetah count to 29, punctuating India's success in wildlife conservation through its Cheetah Project.

In a statement on X, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav applauded the efforts of the project, attributing the thriving cheetah population to favorable conservation policies driven by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
