We are delighted to share that STRAW India was recently featured on DD National's DD Morning Show, where our Founder, Vasanthi Kumar, and Humane Educator, V. Amruta Varshini, spoke about the importance of humane education and its role in building a more compassionate society.
During the conversation, we highlighted how humane education helps nurture empathy, kindness, and responsible behaviour towards animals from an early age and creates a ripple effect where young students amplify their learnings by speaking to their siblings, friends and even their parents. We also shared insights from our recent Paws & Paint campaign, which used creativity and engagement to encourage children to connect with and care for animals.
We are grateful to DD National for providing a platform to discuss the significance of humane education and animal welfare with a wider audience. Conversations like these are important in creating awareness and inspiring positive action for both animals and communities alike.
A special thank you to the anchors, Divya Rajpal and Satyapriya, for making the discussion engaging and meaningful.
One of the most touching highlights of our visit was witnessing the water bowls we gifted to the morning show anchors and producer Shrabani Dasgupta thoughtfully placed within the DD National premises for birds and small animals. Acts of kindness like these may seem simple, but during the scorching summer months, access to clean water can truly be life‑saving for community animals.
We look forward to continuing our efforts to promote humane education and create a more compassionate world for all living beings.
