Tamil Nadu launches NAAGAM App on World Snake Day to promote coexistence
Share on WhatsappShare on Facebook

On World Snake Day (July 16), the Tamil Nadu Forest Department launched the NAAGAM mobile app at the Children’s Park in Guindy. The event, led by Supriya Sahu, IAS, Additional Chief Secretary, also featured the release of a booklet on ‘Common Snakes of Tamil Nadu’ and the launch of a structured snake rescuer training program.

The app allows citizens to report snake sightings, enabling trained rescuers to respond swiftly and ethically. Supriya Sahu emphasised the ecological importance of snakes and the need to replace fear with awareness. “Snakes are misunderstood. They maintain ecological balance and deserve protection through science and sensitivity,” she said.

Tamil Nadu is home to 142 snake species, yet myths and fear often lead to harm. The event honoured Padma Shri awardees Vadivel Gopal and Masi Sathayan from the Irular tribe for their contributions to snake rescue and conservation.

The two-day celebration (July 16–17) includes expert talks on snakebite management, rescue techniques, and legal frameworks. Officials aim to build a scientifically trained, policy-compliant rescuer network across the state.

Dignitaries present: Rakesh Kumar Dogra (PCCF), H. Venuprasad, Rito Cyriac, Dr. Prameela Rajan, and T. Amuthu.
