Inside Vantara: All About Anant Ambani's Animal Rescue, Care, Treatment And Rehabilitation Programme

One of the few reasons why the country continues to be obsessed with the Ambani family is its active involvement in humanitarian works and philanthropic initiatives. Otherwise, the Ambanis are mostly known for their lavish lifestyle and extravagant events. Amongst the family's many charitable initiatives is Anant Ambani's passion project, Vantara.

Reliance Industries and Reliance Foundation announced the launch of Vantara recently. Vantara which translates to the star of the forest is a rescue, care, treatment, and rehabilitation programme for injured, abused, and threatened animals in India and abroad.

Vantara has also specifically taken initiatives for rhino, leopard, and crocodile rehabilitation.

Vantara's Mantra, Jeev Sewa

During the conference, Anant Ambani shared that Vantara follows the age-old ethical values of compassion with modern science and technology. Animal care or jeev sewa is the programme's motto. Ambani took inspiration from her mother Nita Ambani as he took up this project. The youngest member of the Ambani clan sees animal care as serving the almighty as this is something the Hindu religion believes.
