Title: Navakiran our first and Oldest White Horse of IR
It was 19 th May, 2000 when "Navakiran" was manufactured in CLW. After manufacturing CLW handed this to IR for their use. At first IR called this "Navkriti". It's name changed to Navkiran on 28.03.2008. Since then it is known as Navkiran. This horse was first allotted to GMO shed. On 27.12.2012 this horse was shifted from GMO to GZB. Now this horse belongs to GZB. The POH of Navkiran was done at BSL on 09/02/2010.We have more than 205+ white horses now as per Oct 2014 statistics.
