Greater Noida (Uttar Pradesh) [India], June 8 : The Prashant Advait Foundation received the "Best Animal Welfare Organisation" Award in recognition of its work saving over a million animals and fostering compassion through spiritual clarity.
The Green Society of India presented the award to the Foundation at the World Environment Expo 2025 held at India Expo Mart in Greater Noida.
The award honours the Foundation's unmatched work in 2024 in promoting compassionate living and directly saving the lives of more than a million animals via awareness campaigns.
Pradeep Vaghasiya (COO) and Devesh Mittal (CTO) accepted the award on behalf of the Foundation.
"This award is not just for the Foundation; it belongs to every individual who chose compassion over consumption," Devesh Mittal said during the ceremony.
The foundation actively works to protect animals from cruelty and exploitation and highlights the teachings of Vedanta.
"Our goal is to create a society that views animal welfare as the most basic manifestation of human responsibility and intelligence, not as charity. With the help of Acharya Prashant and the teachings of Vedanta, we're helping people see that animal cruelty is not just an external issue, it's a reflection of inner ignorance," he added.
Pradeep Vaghasiya further continued. "When inner clarity dawns, true welfare begins."
In 2024, the Foundation's efforts helped over 50,000 families move away from animal-based products. The Foundation also played a major role in reducing animal sacrifices at the Gadhimai Festival, the world's largest animal sacrifice event.
In contrast to traditional welfare organisations, the Foundation's strategy is based on spiritual awakening. It answers cruelty through raising human consciousness.
Rooted in Vedanta, the Foundation's goal is to inspire individuals to bring about an internal revolution. Through awareness campaigns and extensive public outreach, it seeks to establish a sustainable future for all living things.
As the world celebrates another World Environment Day, the recognition of PrashantAdvait Foundation reminds us that lasting change comes not from external policies alone but from a change of heart and mind.
