In 1986, it was proposed
that November 25, Sadhu Vaswani's Birthday
be celebrated as an International Meatless Day. The
campaign has met with considerable success in that,
lakhs of individuals send their pledges to the Mission
to go meatless on this day. Four state governments
in India - Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka and Andhra
Pradesh - have issued instructions for the closure
of slaughter-houses as well as butchers' shops on
25th November every year, in their respective states.
In order to create an awareness in
the minds of citizens about the Meatless Day campaign,
peace marches are held in Pune and other cities in November,
every year. Thousands of students from city schools
and colleges march through the streets propagating the
idea of Meatless Day and reverence for all life, as
the first step to World Peace. Meatless Newsletters
are also issued between August and November every year
to propagate vegetarianism and the Meatless Day.
