At the ALC Orientation Programme 2020 Inaugural Ceremony held on Monday, 26th October 2020, Mrs. Maneka Gandhi presented a highly enlightening live interactive webinar on the topic “People, Environment & Animals” as part of the institute’s LLS Lecture initiative.
This motivational session was turned out to be truly enlightening in the sense that Mrs. Maneka Gandhi offered an exhaustive account of the “why do we need to look after the animals” and the way animal formed the basis of our entire existence. To quote her words, “They work for us and we are here because of them!”
As it evolved, the entire session was dotted with several references and examples in support of her exposition that explained in ample measures the “reasons why we need to have strict animal laws in place”.
