Shivani Sharma Foundation organises gau seva programme in Indore with Delhi Public Elementary School

Mumbai: The Shivani Sharma Foundation, founded by actress and entrepreneur Shivani Sharma, organised a Gau Seva programme in Indore in association with Delhi Public Elementary School. The programme was held at Shri Bhartiya Sanskriti Shiksha Sansthan and saw the participation of students, teachers, social workers and volunteers.

The gathering began with Gau Puja. This was followed by the distribution of green fodder and Pashu Aahar Laddu to the cows. Students and volunteers joined the activity, which was organised around the traditional practice of Gau Seva.

The participation of a school in the programme was a notable aspect of the event. Along with the religious observance, the organisers sought to involve students in the care of animals and familiarise them with the cultural significance attached to Gau Seva. The programme brought together people from the education and social work sectors, with the feeding activity forming the main part of the gathering.

For Shivani Sharma, the foundation marks her involvement in social work beyond her career as an actress and entrepreneur. The organisation has identified several areas for its work, including education, healthcare, women’s empowerment, youth development, environmental awareness and humanitarian assistance. Animal welfare is also among the causes it intends to address.

Representatives of the foundation said that caring for animals and protecting the environment are important aspects of its understanding of social service. The Indore programme was organised with this approach, bringing the foundation together with the school and local participants for an activity focused on animal care.

The event concluded with prayers, followed by a collective pledge to continue supporting animal welfare and community service.

The programme adds to the range of activities being undertaken by the Shivani Sharma Foundation as it begins developing its work across different areas of social welfare.
