The social cause theme for this year is ‘Ikshana – Save Animals’. Because of human greed, animals have become a target of abuse. One of the major concerns of today’s modern world, they aim to give the issue a much-needed limelight and attraction. Animals also have the full right to live on earth as much as human beings have. They believe that every creation of mother nature should be treated with love, respect, and compassion.
