Rishabh S

Growing up in Uttar Pradesh, the problem of abandoning non-lactating cattle (calves, bulls, older cows) was a daily sight for Rishabh. He empathised with the problem and started addressing it in his village when he was a 7th grader, and with that initial success, launched Anima Drive to solve this issue at scale. With a team of 20 student members and 6 rural women, Rishabh is making it financially viable for farmers and animal shelters to take care of non-lactating cattle. They have also started the Social Pathshala initiative to promote ecological co-existence through interactive workshops and online challenges targeted towards children in rural and peri-urban areas of Uttar Pradesh.
