 "elephants at Anant Ambani’s Vantara")
Anant Ambani's vision is to create a world-class facility for injured animals, established in Vantara in Jamnagar. Today, this initiative supports over 200 elephants to live their best life at the rescue centre. The Radhe Krishna Temple Elephant Welfare Trust (RKTEWT) is spread over 600 acres at Reliance's Jamnagar complex.
The official Instagram handle of Vantara also shared a glimpse of the daily routine of elephants.
The trust came into the limelight after the pre-wedding festivities of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant that took place at Jamnagar. Anant Ambani also expressed his vision to create the world's most advanced Wildlife Institute at Vantara in Jamnagar.
Elephants at the welfare trust are given every convenience at the rescue centre which includes a personalised diet chart and a dedicated Jacuzzi where hot water relieves elderly and injured jumbos.
At RKTEWT, the Kitchen facility has experts who create meals which are best suited to the 'unique dietary needs' of each elephant at the welfare trust. An elephant can eat up to 130 kg of food in a day, so this is a challenging task.
The Vantara Instagram account shared a menu showing meals for a female elephant Leelawali. Leelawati's breakfast includes one Ragi Laddu, 10 Kg Khichadi, one roti and 1 kg pellets.
