Outreach for Animals Award
IFA Outreach for Animals Award was given by the Federation of Indian Animal Protection Organizations (FIAPO) to those, whose outreach work has been helping and supporting the cause of animals, among the largest number of people in the community.
Our founder, Vasanthi Kumar was given this "Best Outreach for Animals Award" during the India for Animals conference held at Goa, India in November 2012.
In fact, she shared this award with one of the world's largest animal welfare organizations, World Society for the Protection of Animals (now known as World Animal Protection).
This award was conferred for her contribution of about 200 pages of contents relating to compassion towards animals, empathy for people and care of the environment. This content into the school textbooks for standards/classes VI, VII & VIII was published by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). Since more than 10,000 schools in India and abroad are affiliated to the CBSE, over 5 million students, year after year would be exposed to these contents.
