Sinchana, a female tiger cub, has been struggling with neurological weakness. Despite the best care from the park, her condition had not improved, and she needed specialized treatment. The medical team at the park determined that Sinchana required isolation and intensive care to prevent further complications and avoid potential attacks from other tigers.

In response to this urgent need, Samyukta Hornad, alongside her organization Techeon, has stepped in to provide support. The adoption agreement includes covering Sinchana's food, maintenance, and medical expenses, ensuring that she receives the care she needs to recover.
