The scope of work included techniques for interpretation, implementation strategy, operation and maintenance plan, guidelines and templates for site interpretation material including signage, printed material for the natural landscape sites.
Towards this, the board is inviting bids from consultancy agencies to be service provider of the proposed project. (KNN/ST)
