In our endeavor to bring in a sense of belonging, care and patriotism in children by relating them to various social causes has yet again helped us to create an activity which can bridge the children with the environment. In short, a coloring competition and a story-telling competition for the pre-primary and primary kids to leverage their skills and talent and bring out the best in them. On this occasion of 'INTERNATIONAL TIGER DAY', we are initiating our 1st edition of 'TIGER - MY FRIEND' program at your disposal. TIGER being our National Animal, we feel will bring out the patriotism as well the fun side among children. ART is a medium which can translate the mind of the children in any form be it coloring, painting, music, dance, singing, storytelling, cooking etc.

It is our small effort to connect children with our National Animal ‘TIGER’ and create a sense of belonging and care among children for our environment and its resources. The program involves coloring and a story-telling competition for children revolving around TIGER as a theme. Children form class 1 and 2 from various schools of Bangalore will demonstrate a folk tale on TIGER at the following venue.

The latest report says that we had 1 lakh Tigers in the world earlier, and today there are only 3000 in the whole world. At this rate, it is estimated that TIGERS will be extinct soon and shall be seen only in books and magazines down the line. Ecological study also indicates that TIGERS stand on top of the food chain in the energy pyramids. The presence of a TIGER indicates a healthy Eco System. The TIGER territory occupies huge landscapes which means, the ecological balance is maintained in that region by protecting large number of flora or fauna and the entire ecosystems. TIGER also contributes to our GDP by attracting more tourists, not just Indians but also the Foreigners to the National Parks. TIGER is our symbol of National Pride, it is the duty of every citizen of our country to safe guard and protect our National Animal.
