included the story of some residents of sanctuary. The most interactive session was question hour. It was not planned, but after the interaction with animals; children started few questions and surprisingly this session finished with more than ten questions from children and teachers. During this visit students also observed the reaction of sanctuary residents to the flute played by Mr. Rasul Mulani. Apart from this exposure visit altogether eight CC workshops were organized in schools which were participated by 576 students and 32 teachers. During exposure visit of students at Animal Rahat’s Sanctuary Media and press were also present there for some time; they took few shots of the students in sanctuary. Media interviewed two students.

He also shared about the need of mechanization and role of government in helping the animals. A part from above mentioned meetings AWUs have been doing individual interactions with bullock owners during regular scouting. Teams have convinced bullock owners about importance of tying by one side with long rope in place of both side tying that too tightly and 45 owners have started this practice. We convinced 07 bullock owners regarding shed for bullocks. Altogether 62 bullock owners have started to use Morkee while resting their animals.

We have demonstrated use of tikkil to control ectoparasite at one site and 05 bullock owners have used this method. Apart from using tikkil we demonstrated cleanliness of shed, disposing dung & waste away from shed, grooming and burning waste after spraying tikkil. It is a holistic approach which is being done by us for ectoparasite control. Due to this approach 07 owners have improved the quality of their sheds i.e. softened their shed floors which is good for their bullocks.
