What We Do:

Satvik Vegan Society was born to provide an identity and a voice for vegans.  Later, we included activities to create awareness about veganism, to support those who are interested in veganism and to help vegans be better vegans.

How We Do

We organise vegan festivals, stalls at exhibitions, vegan talks, leaf-letting, school visits, newspaper articles, television interviews, newsletters, etc., to bring awareness to people about a lifestyle which is good for their health, less damaging to the environment and doesn't harm our fellow beings.
