World Animal Protection organized a protest event at Patrika Gate in Jaipur today to raise concerns about the continued mistreatment of captive elephants in Amer Fort and Haathi Gaon, Jaipur. A large number of people and volunteers participated in the event and engaged with the public to highlight the suffering of these elephants. During the event, many individuals took a pledge not to ride elephants during their travels and called on the Government of Rajasthan to end elephant rides. Save The Elephant Day protest by World Animal Protection at Patrika Gate in Jaipur on 16 April 2026 Photo credit: World Animal Protection The event was organised in the wake of the death of a 70-year-old elephant named Chanchal in February 2026, who had been used in a photoshoot where she was painted pink by photographer Julia Buruleva. Although her death is believed to be unrelated to the photography event. Nonetheless, the shooting event raised major questions on ethics surrounding the treatment of animals, especially wild animals like elephants, that suffer from their incarceration in captivity. “For years we have seen the unfortunate scene of captive elephants being paraded as props in Amer Fort for tourists, including foreign tourists, to the detriment of their health and welfare and it is high time this practice stopped,” says Gajender Kumar Sharma, Country Director, World Animal Protection in India . Numerous studies have repeatedly shown that the status quo on Amer Fort elephants is untenable and the need is imminent for them to be retired from the daily rides and given a satisfactory retirement in a wildlife friendly sanctuary for the rest of their lives. Studies by Animal Welfare Board of India and Project Elephant of Ministry of Environment And Forests have shown the Amer Fort elephants show major distress due to their captive nature and that the way forward is by ending the elephant rides in Jaipur, in Amer Fort, Haathi Gaon and other venues where they still take place. In the wake of the photoshoot that has made news all over, it is amply clear and self evident that the elephant being painted with a scantily clad model woman on top was hardly the epitome or symbol of Indian culture that has respected the elephant with the status of National Heritage Animal of India. Elephants are wild animals, who live sociably in the wild and display many human emotions like love, fear, bonding, sadness and mourning and they are deprived of these traits in captivity. Moreover the continued illegal trade in live elephants from certain parts of India to fuel the captive elephant industry in places like Jaipur give cause for concern for elephant conservation in the wild. We also witness retrogressive practices like elephant safaris in Kaziranga National Park in Assa and Corbett Tiger Reserve in Uttarakhand. “Elephant rides across India must be brought to an end, and tourism activities involving captive elephants including those involving international visitors/tourists need to be strictly regulated. World Animal Protection urges the Government of Rajasthan, the Ministry of Environment and Forests, and Project Elephant to take immediate action, including establishing a clear timeline for the retirement of elephants currently used for rides in Jaipur and across the country,” says Gajender Kumar Sharma, Country Director, World Animal Protection in India. The demonstration in Jaipur, with active participation from volunteers and local residents alongside World Animal Protection staff, reflects a growing awareness that wild animals belong in the wild. Elephants are not entertainers, nor are they props for photographs in captive settings. Elephants deserve to live free. Wildlife belongs in the wild.

DJT Microfinance Announces Expansion in Northeast with Major Assam Growth Plan
DJT Microfinance , one of India’s leading NBFC-MFI committed to rural empowerment, announced its strategic expansion roadmap for the Northeast region with major Assam growth plan. This marks a significant step in strengthening the company’s presence across eastern and northeastern India and builds on the company’s existing operations in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Bihar and West Bengal with the aim to extend responsible financial services to underserved communities. The company has announced plans to empower 20,000 new members by 2027, focusing on scaling financial inclusion in the region. This reiterates DJT Microfinance’s commitment to deliver microfinance services to low-income households with a focus on empowering women to become self-employed in underserved and rural areas of the country through convenient and secure loans. As part of the initial phase, the company will focus on the Lower Brahmaputra Valley agro-climatic zone, covering districts including Darrang, Tamulpur, Kokrajhar, Bongaigaon, Chirang, Udalguri, and Bajali. Avinash Kumar, Chief Operating Officer, DJT Microfinance said, “Our expansion in Assam reflects our long-term commitment to responsible financial inclusion in regions where access to formal credit remains limited. Assam offers a unique combination of accessibility, economic potential and strong portfolio stability. We intend to adopt a calibrated expansion approach, focusing on disciplined growth, strong governance standards, and customer-centric products tailored to local requirements.” The expansion will be primarily driven through the Joint Liability Group (JLG) lending model, which enables access to credit for low-income households and micro-entrepreneurs who often remain outside the formal financial system. DJT Microfinance recently commenced its operations in the state and is currently undertaking detailed market assessments and area surveys to design financial products aligned with local economic activities and borrower needs. Alongside its existing offerings, the company plans to introduce need-based products tailored to regional demand patterns. Avinash Kumar further added, “Our lending framework will remain aligned with the NBFC-MFI regulatory guidelines, targeting households with annual incomes of up to 3 lakh. We also ensure that the fixed obligation to income ratio does not exceed 50% of the household’s monthly income. We will continue to adhere strictly to SRO guardrails while expanding our portfolio of services in the region.” Currently, DJT Microfinance operates 75 branches across five states, serving approximately 75 thousand customers. Over the next three years, DJT Microfinance aims to build a scalable and stable portfolio in the Northeast, beginning with Assam. The strategy will focus on disciplined customer acquisition, prudent underwriting, and strong asset quality management. Through its phased expansion strategy, DJT Microfinance aims to deepen access to formal financial services for underserved households while building a resilient and quality-driven portfolio across eastern and northeastern India.
