Click here for 2004 - 2005 Annual Report
We have developed an Animal Shelter cum Clinic, which is one and only of it's kind in entire Jharkhand State. This year was like a year of success. Since beginning we believed in working and we knew fruits would be their for our tree, which we were nurturing for last five years :)
Contribution from Mrs Bharti Sahay, who is now one of our trustees and the funds raised during the Singapore visit covered more than half funds required for building the infrastructure.
Our one of the all time fund raising events – “Asia on Foot” – The book written by Mr. Ohal is continued to attract the foreign Markets to add the funds for the construction work. This year there was change in the trustees due to transfers and other reasons we have inducted four more Trustees totalling Eight in the Executive Committee, which participate in planning, implementing, assessment, evaluation, monitoring and review of the programmes. The beneficiaries of the programmes play a crucial role and they are consulted at various stages. The organisation also has a team of dedicated volunteers and development professionals who help the executive committee with their valuable inputs and help in decision making. The organisation is backed by the team of UN Volunteers from various parts of the world. It also receives the technical and non technical support from www.nabuur.com

Promoting Income Generation Programs and empowering women members of the community to fight for their rights – With the support of Department for International Development’s funding support – for Poorest Area Civil Societies program (PACS) that was started in January 2003 is continued this year too.
The Project Focus is primarily on capacity building & Awareness Generation -
Under this project we are working in five villages in Khunti Block of Ranchi District. Focus of the project is to build the capacity of the community so that they raise their demands for getting the services from the service providers (Government Agencies). In addition, we have been working with Men & women Self Help Groups to strengthen the functioning of SHG. Trainings have been given on SHG Leadership & Management, Cluster Association, Accounts keeping etc.
– The organisation have multiple benefits with this innovation – As you know that we are planning to form and promote a dairy co-operative in continuation with last year’s initiative. For this we have built a Cattle shelter where the farm animals would be receiving good care and treatment- in this process we would be promoting the soon to be extinct cattle breeds to be involved in the project so that simultaneously while they earn with the High Breed cows, the Deshi (Country) cows are not neglected.
Due to the maximum concentration and care towards the construction work, we could not carry out many activities in this field. We are promoting the use and benefits of by-products of Deshi (Country) cows. The by-products of Deshi Cow is even sold in the market, income generation and breed promotion (Soon to be extinct) are our two of the future agenda’s to be concentrated on.
Vaccination This year too we conducted the HSBQ vaccination camp for approx 1600 large and small animals in five villages, here we got the support of five village youth volunteers, who were trained in vaccination.

Our dream shelter is now almost completed, Singapore visit of Mr. Praveen Ohal in June 2005 was a very big success. Phillip Wollen and his wife of The Winsome Constance Kindness Trust, Australia were an extra-ordinary couple, in a two minutes talk they agreed to support Rs. 100,000. Apart from this couple, there were many animal activist, who bought the book, “Asia on Foot” and helped raise funds. After the conference, I contacted the Singapore Rotary where the Rotary members actively listen to my plan and bought the book to add it to my fund raising campaign. At last now we could partly construct the kennels and Operation Theatre for running ABC program for the street dogs of the Capital, Ranchi. due to the construction work our most of the raised funds were used for the construction purposes only hence we could only carry out Operation on Nine street dogs just to try the facility of Ranchi Municipal Corporation (RMC) in association with RMC.
We succeeded in getting attention of The Mayhew Animal Home, an UK based organisation runs an animal home and humane education and training centre. Every year it cares for and re-homes thousands of animals - cats, dogs and rabbits - that have been abused, neglected or abandoned. In the month of March Three people from Organisation were given training in stray dog management and care at Help in Suffering at Jaipur. The training was jointly sponsored by The Mayhew Animal Home and Help in Suffering, Jaipur. Dr Jack Reece of HIS has helped us a lot and taught us the effective way of shelter management and running an ABC program.

This year to we carried out the program in the Carmel Girls High School, Samlong, Namkum in Ranchi. But this time there was not much preparation and we really could not get involved other school. We have been getting support of this school since last three years in organising the National Homeless Animals Day. Next year we have planned to involve different school
The students shared their views to love animals, sung prayers & done parodies to commemorate the National Homeless Animals Day. The students have also signed the declarations. These declarations urge people to act responsibly by having their companion animals spayed or neutered to help curb pet overpopulation, ultimately putting an end to the killing of homeless animals. The girl students also took a pledge, “We take care of our environment and homeless animals. We must learn about them, so that, we can help them live a better life. We must give love to the homeless animals.” ISAR – International Society for Animal Rights began National homeless Animals’ Day and Candlelight Vigils to publicize dog and cat overpopulation in its overwhelming magnitude, to increase public awareness of the millions of dogs and cats killed in shelters/ on roads annually for lack of homes and to emphasize the importance of spaying and neutering companion animals. The Candlelight Vigils, perhaps more than any other event, dramatize the significance of the overpopulation problem, and why the killing must stop. Dedicated shelter and animal control personnel, who must kill the animals at the cost of their own grief, plan beautiful, moving vigils. Many read the names of the animals and the dates they were killed from identification collars used in shelters. Music, prayers, readings and speeches are also often part of the vigils.
