Jaanashee, a grade 11 student at The Shriram Millinneum School, submitted copies of a petition with the signatures of 1,00,000 students from private and government schools across the country urging the Ministry of Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries to pass draft rules to ban the use of all animals in circuses.
