Students of Aakash BYJU’S March in Solidarity with World Animal Welfare Day in Mumbai
Mumbai — Students of Aakash BYJU’S, India’s leader in test preparation services, marched on the streets of Borivali in Mumbai, armed with placards bearing compelling slogans, to commemorate World Animal Welfare Day. This organized march, driven by the objective of advocating animal rights and raising global standards of animal welfare, was a powerful display of compassion and a strong voice for the voiceless inhabitants of our planet.
Some of the slogans on the placards read: Roar out loud and save animals; Take care of an animal, and it will never forget you; Criminals should stay behind bars, not animals; Feed them, don’t hit them; Shoot them with cameras, not with guns; It’s right to fight for animal rights and Nurture Mother Nature.
World Animal Welfare Day, an annual observance, is dedicated to highlighting the pressing issues confronting animals, and to ensure that their well-being captures the global attention. This day serves as an indispensable catalyst for change, rallying individuals and communities to take action on a multitude of animal-related causes, including their rights and welfare.
Speaking about this initiative Mr Amit Singh Rathore, Regional Director at Aakash BYJU’S, expressed immense enthusiasm for the event, stating, “At Aakash BYJU’S we feel a responsibility to help develop our students to become model citizens of tomorrow apart from helping them achieve their academic aspirations. To that end, we are delighted to be part of efforts that exemplify our commitment to promoting the rights of animals and elevating global standards of animal welfare.”
World Animal Welfare Day, internationally observed on the 4th of October each year, coincides with the feast day of Saint Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals. This date serves as a poignant reminder to educate humanity about the profound impact of their actions on the animal kingdom and to raise awareness about the imperative need to protect and care for animals globally.
This year’s observance is particularly significant as it marks nearly a century since the first World Animal Day celebration in March 1925. Since then, the tradition has evolved into a global phenomenon, with diverse countries embracing the cause irrespective of nationality, religion, faith, or political ideology.
Aakash BYJU’S and its students are proud to join this global movement to champion the rights and welfare of animals. As they take to the streets with their placards and slogans, their voices will resonate far and wide, urging society to acknowledge and uphold the dignity and well-being of animals.
