You used to like Mondays when you were a kid – you’d be waiting to go back to school and tell your friends what you did over the weekend; to play on the swings once more; to wear that smart uniform again.
But not all kids come back on Monday.
Every year, one of every two children in India drops out of school. That’s nearly half the school-going children in the country! The reasons for this are many – poverty, unfortunate circumstances, and social inhibition, among others. Here’s one that we found, which might be easier to eliminate – lack of #MondayMotivation for both teachers and students.
At Prajayatna, we’re hoping to make a change through the Quality Learning Initiative in Bellary, Karnataka, in consultation with the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, reaching out to more than 16,000 students across nearly 300 government schools in the district. Through targeted learning techniques and by supplementing the skills of teachers in these schools, the aim is to make learning (and teaching!) easier and more enjoyable so that more students choose to stay in school and parents see real worth in educating them.
YOU can be part of this initiative too – and the first step is simple. When we have the right tools, we don’t mind going to work. So sponsor a student’s study material today – pencils, paper, crayons, stationary – and give them the tools for a better, brighter tomorrow.
Make them love Mondays – Sponsor a student’s study material for as little as Rs. 200/-!

Sniffer dogs—with their remarkable sense of smell—are increasingly becoming part of a global effort to help stop illegal wildlife trade. In 2008, WWF-India along with TRAFFIC India pioneered the training of a task force of daring dogs to sniff out wildlife contraband like tiger bones, elephant tusks and rhino horn to help catch poachers and smugglers involved in trade of animal parts.
Here’s how your contribution will help
- More sniffer dogs to protect over 50% of the world’s tigers that live in India
- Greater protection to 85% of the world’s rhinos that are found in India
- Higher conviction rate for poachers and smugglers
Help us raise funds to train more such sniffer dogs to strengthen efforts against poaching of wildlife in India – donate today!

Snow leopards are very hard to spot!
This is not only because they are masters of camouflage, but also because only 500 are left in India and their numbers are rapidly dwindling.
Another reason one rarely sees snow leopards is because they live in extreme conditions and on difficult terrain – making learning about them difficult too.
That’s why we’re glad to have camera traps – special motion-sensitive cameras to capture the movements and behaviour of snow leopards. Observing them through camera traps makes it possible for WWF experts to develop strategies for snow leopard conservation. This helps our scientists find new ways of fighting the threats to snow leopards like poaching, conflict with herders and development activities.
Join our #SaveOurSnowleopards campaign to help us further our conservation activities in India like camera trapping, installation of predator proof livestock pens and others to save the snow leopards.
