 "Project Tiger provides real hope for the survival of the striped predator in India. The Prime Minister of India has made a personal promise to save the tiger. And we now have over one million 'Kids for Tigers' around India who have sworn to help save the cat. Project Tiger was launched in 1973 with nine tiger covering an area of 16,339 sq.km., which has increased to 37,761 sq.km. in 27 Tiger Reserves. The budgetary provision of the Government of India during 1973 was only Rs. 23 million, which has increased to 230 million during 2000-2001. The main objective of Project Tiger is to ensure a viable population of tiger in India for scientific , economic , aesthetic , cultural and ecological values and to preserve for all time, areas of biological importance as a natural heritage for the benefit, education and enjoyment of the people.
