Meet the first woman to save 51,000 snakes, the President presented the Nari Shakti Puraskar to Vanitha Jagdev
Vanita Jagdeo Borade has been awarded Nari Shakti Puraskar 2020 for her exemplary efforts in wildlife conservation, particularly by rescuing snakes and also for creating awareness.
Being the first woman to conduct research on snake conservation, she works on spreading public awareness about snakes and their conservation. “90% of snakes in India are non-venomous. Snakes hide when they find a dark and safe place and never attack or bite on their own until harmed.” She informs that there are free-of-cost medicines as anti-snake venom which are easily available in all government hospitals. “The anti-snake venom can cure the injured immediately and hence there is no reason to panic.” She believes that the fear of snakes can be eradicated by wiping out the superstitions. She also provides training in rescuing snakes.
