On 17th February 2026, the Animals Water Bowl Project (AWBP) Trust successfully organised the Telugu Edition Pre-Launch of the book “The Journey of Bunty & Chinku” at BVRIT Hyderabad College of Engineering for Women. The event brought together academic leaders, faculty members, and enthusiastic students for a meaningful and thought-provoking session centered on compassion, education, and community responsibility.
A Graceful Beginning
The program commenced in the presence of the College Vice Principal Chava Sunil Kumar, CSE HOD, faculty members, and active participation from students across departments. The stage backdrop displayed the Telugu edition announcement along with the theme “Book Pre-Launch,” creating an atmosphere of celebration and purpose.
The Vice Principal formally pre-launched the Telugu edition of the book alongside the author Lakshman Molleti, Founder of AWBP Trust. The moment symbolized not just the release of a regional edition, but the expansion of a message intended to reach deeper into local communities through native language storytelling.
The Vision Behind the Book
Following the ceremonial pre-launch, author Lakshman Molleti delivered an impactful session addressing students and faculty. His speech emphasized the core message of the book — reconnecting humans with animals and nature to build responsible, peaceful communities.
Through a powerful presentation, he highlighted:
- The contrast between ancient education systems, where learning was deeply connected with nature and animals.
- How modern education has gradually sidelined nature and animals.
- The resulting negative impact on community values, empathy, coexistence, and mental well-being.
He explained that in ancient times, education began with understanding life, nature, and coexistence. Students were taught responsibility, harmony, and simplicity. In contrast, modern systems often prioritize competition, material success, and individual achievement — leaving little room for environmental consciousness and animal welfare.
This shift, he noted, has contributed to increasing stress, social disconnect, and environmental degradation.
Engaging Interaction with Students

Students participated with curiosity and thoughtful listening, creating an interactive and reflective environment. The session encouraged them to think beyond academics and consider their responsibility toward animals, environment, and society.
Book Distribution and Appreciation
After the author’s address, copies of the Telugu edition were distributed to the Vice Principal, HOD, faculty members, and student representatives. The symbolic book distribution marked the transition from message to movement — encouraging readers to practice the life lessons shared within the book.
The faculty appreciated the initiative and acknowledged the importance of integrating value-based education alongside technical learning.
A token of appreciation was also presented, recognizing the collaborative effort between AWBP Trust and the college administration in making the event impactful and meaningful.
Collective Commitment

The event concluded with positive feedback, discussions, and renewed interest among students to explore writing, social impact, and community-centric initiatives. Thanks to the event coordinator Ms. Sangeeta (Professor) and the student coordinators Ms.Sharanya, Ms.Hansini, Ms. Keerthana.
Conclusion
The Telugu edition pre-launch of “The Journey of Bunty & Chinku” at BVRIT Hyderabad was more than a book event — it was a value-driven educational movement.
By addressing the gap between ancient wisdom and modern systems, AWBP Trust reinforced its mission:
- To reconnect humans with animals and nature.
- To promote coexistence and peaceful living.
- To encourage youth to become responsible contributors to society.
The event successfully blended literature, education, and social awareness — leaving a lasting impression on the young minds who participated.
