As an individual who recognizes the love and compassion towards dogs in our community, I believe that the prohibition on feeding dogs within Bhavans Vivekananda College premises should be reconsidered. I see this as more than just an issue; it's a matter of acknowledging our basic human instinct to care for those in need.

Dogs not only provide us companionship but have also been seen to promote psychological well-being in humans. They are more than just animals; they are our friends. As per the American Psychological Association, interactions with pets can reduce stress and anxiety levels ("Stress in America," American Psychological Association). Bhavans Vivekananda College, being an institution that promotes personal and intellectual growth, should also foster a spirit of compassion and respect for all life.

However, I am aware that concerns about cleanliness, safety, and orderliness are all valid. Still, I believe that with adequate rules and guidelines in place, these can be effectively managed while also allowing the feeding of dogs.

Change starts from within. Sharing food is not just about filling stomachs; it's about sharing kindness and empathy. Let's make Bhavans Vivekananda College a more compassionate place for every life within its walls.

This is a plea for allowing the feeding of dogs in Bhavans Vivekananda College. Please support this initiative to cultivate an environment of love and compassion. Sign the petition and help us make a change.
