Animal Welfare Fortnight begins in India: Sukanya Kadyan endorsed PETA India's proposal for Schools in Haryana.

Whole Nation is celebrating animal welfare fortnight January 14-31, 2014 and being an Honorary Animal Welfare Officer, AWBI (Ministry of Environment and Forest), Programme Director, OIPA - Indian People for Animals, I am in the opinion that Board of School Education, Haryana may adopt the procedure applied by CBSE, in case of animal welfare, actually article 51 A (g) of Indian Constitution defined the fundamental duties of every citizen. Children across India will soon be learning kindness to animals as part of their school curriculum. Dr Shashi Tharoor, Minister of State for Human Resource Development, has urged the National Council of Educational Research and Training to examine incorporating our humane-education programme, Compassionate Citizen, in its textbooks, while Vineet Joshi, Chair of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), has issued a notification to CBSE schools to use Compassionate Citizen as part of the official school curricula. The notification, issued to more than 10,000 CBSE affiliated schools around the country, explains how the programme can be easily included in the school curricula via the languages, science, social studies, environmental and values education subjects. Compassionate Citizen is also perfect for use in Eco and animal rights clubs in schools. Compassionate Citizen has been successfully used in nearly 15,000 private and government schools, reaching 3 million children between the ages of 8 and 12 years, and with the board's help, even more children will learn how to respect animals and peacefully coexist with them. Most children have a natural affection for animals, but they become desensitized to cruelty and learn to accept the way things are. Receiving humane education early on can help children retain the compassion that they feel for animals and turn it into action. And there are more good news Dr RM Kharb, Chair of the Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI), has shown his support by writing to Gerry Arathoon, Chair of the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations, asking for the inclusion of PETA followed by OIPA - www.oipa.org Indian People for Animals school programme in their official school curricula, where as Naresh Kadyan, Member, State Committee for Slaughter Houses, Department of Urban and Local Bodies, Haryana placed this matter before the committee for consideration, Abhishek Kadyan, Hon. AWO / Member of District Public Relation and Grievances Committee, Govt. of Haryana also sharing me to extend our joint request to please approved our proposal for your school curricula via the languages, science, social studies, environmental and values education subjects. Compassionate Citizen is also perfect for use in Eco and animal rights clubs in schools. Please include Humane Education in Curriculum, school curricula via the languages, science, social studies, environmental and values education subjects. Compassionate Citizen is also perfect for use in Eco and animal rights clubs in schools.
