PETA India with the JD Institute of Fashion Technology has taken a pledge to share information about these great materials and speak to students about vegan fashion, Suraiya said, adding that PETA encourages all prospective cat or dog guardians to adopt from an animal shelter or take in a homeless animal and always to get their animal companions sterilized.

I am pleased, honoured and humbled to accept this award and join the vegan fashion. I believe in fashion with a heart. Our students are thrilled to promote the vegan fashion”.
“Students of JD Institute of Fashion Technology encourage display of variety of vegan products which can easily replace those made from animals’ body parts and looks fashionable too. Every year JD students promote vegan fashion in their designs at the annual design awards”, Dalal added.
