I am honored to receive the Spirit of India Award from the Rotary Club of Madras Metro, presented by Dr. Palanivel Thiagarajan Avl, Hon’ble Minister for Information Technology and Digital Services, Tamil Nadu. It was a truly proud and humbling moment to be recognized by a dignitary who himself is deeply compassionate toward animals.
The Spirit of India Awards were also presented to Captain Shalini Singh Avl, Dr. Ganesh Baraiya Avl, Radha Mani Amma Avl, and Syam Kumar SS Avl—four incredible individuals who have overcome immense challenges and dedicated themselves to the greater good. I am deeply honored to share this recognition with them.
I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the Rotary Club of Madras Metro for selecting me for this award. I believe this recognition is not just for me but for everyone who stands for animals—the dedicated caretakers at our sanctuary, veterinarians, kind-hearted supporters, and all those working selflessly to protect and care for animals across the world.
A special thanks to Thiru. Charles Xavier Avl, President of RCMM, for being a pillar of support.
Lastly, I want to express my sincere appreciation to all my supporters, well-wishers, friends, and family. Your unwavering encouragement, guidance, and generosity have been instrumental in my journey. Without you, I could not have helped so many animals.
I remain committed to doing more—fulfilling my Fundamental Duty as an Indian and my Moral Duty as a Human to protect and care for animals. Thank you.
Thank you,
Sai Vignesh
