We are happy to be involved in the organization of the second edition of the Marwar Camel Culture Festival scheduled for 3-5 November at the campus of our partner organization Lokhit Pashu-Palak Sansthan (LPPS) in Sadri in Rajasthan. An exciting programme is being prepared with special focus on camel milk. H.H. Maharaja of Jodhpur has once again graciously agreed to be patron and chief guest. A special website will soon go live!
