CHENNAI: S Chinny Krishna, co-founder of Blue Cross of India, on Tuesday received the Prani Mitra Award for Lifetime Animal Services. Union minister of fisheries, animal husbandry and dairying Giriraj Singh presented the award to him in Delhi.
βIt has not been given in many years. I am happy to receive the award for two reasons β getting an award from the government is special as it means they recognise animal welfare as a mainstream activity. Secondly, my father, Captain V Sundaram, received it in 1997,β said Chinny Krishna.
