Pashupati Kalyan Parishad: A safe haven for abandoned, distressed animals

Animal Shelter Udaipur

Animal activist Suman Bose’s NGO, Pashupati Kalyan Parishad is providing a safe haven for abandoned, distressed animals for the last two decades.

The Udaipur-based animal shelter houses over 250 sick and disabled animals and gives them a second chance at life.

Nestled amid the lush green Balicha village on National Highway No. 8, Udaipur is a more than 1-acre spread that is home to over 300 animals. It is a bona fide barnyard ⁠— small-sized creatures such as rabbits and cats along with bigger species of dogs, donkeys, cows and buffalos can all be found here.

Pashupati Kalyan Parishad Udaipur

Founded in 1997 by animal lover and activist Suman Bose, the NGO Pashupati Kalyan Parishad (PKP) aims to give animals a place where they are protected and free from the cruelties of the world. It provides sick and disabled animals with a safe sanctuary for a lifetime.

PKP Animal Shelter Udaipur

PKP was formed to mitigate the recurrent drought-like situation in villages around Udaipur city, as farmers failed to feed their livestock and abandoned them. These animals swamped the streets of Udaipur and cattle smugglers found it easy to transport these animals to the slaughterhouses. The organisation took in abandoned cattle, as well as those cattle that were rescued from the slaughterhouses.

Besides, some lame and old cattle that were abandoned at the main veterinary hospital of Udaipur were also relocated to and adopted by the PKP shelter.

PKP Udaipur

Suman says,

“A native of Himachal Pradesh, I did my graduation from Delhi and got married to Dr Pradeep Bose, a veterinary doctor and rural management post-graduate. We both loved animals. It was when my husband was posted in RSMML in 1993, I came to Udaipur. During my stay in the city, I experienced that the streets of Udaipur are flooded with abandoned cattle from nearby villages.

I used to take the sick cattle from the abandoned herd for treatment to the veterinary hospital at Chetak Circle. I did this for four years – from 1995 to 1999.”

In the year 1997 Suman along with nine other people, formed a board and the NGO, Pashupati Kalyan Parishad, got registered as a public society. With the support of Udaipur Municipal Committee, she began her work for the animal shelter in Goverdhan Vilas village in the year 1999 with around 100 abandoned cattle.

She then extended her work to Titardi village with about 250 abandoned cattle. It was only in the year 2001 that PKP’s shelter shifted to Dakan Kotra village and expanded to house about 900 abandoned cattle.

Pashupati Kalyan Parishad

Seeing the outstanding work of protecting and sheltering abandoned animals, the organisation started getting private donations in the form of fodder, feed and medicines. In 2001, PKP got a piece of land in Balicha as a donation after which the shelter campus was shifted from Dakan Kotra to Balicha in 2002.

The funds for sheds come largely from the Animal Welfare Board of India. Rajasthan government’s Goshala department also gives some financial support to PKP during the times of droughts. Besides, owing to the 80-G benefit in Income Tax, PKP also gets some private donations from individuals and organizations.

After the retirement of Suman’s husband, Dr Pradeep Bose, in 2016, he started to look after the healthcare program for the shelters’ animals.

“One of the most challenging tasks is to gather regular funds for the shelter. I desire to have a bigger place for more animals, I want to manufacture some Gaushala-based products to meet the expenses” says Suman.

We hope and pray that she gets more resources to provide food, shelter and care to the abandoned animals.

If you want to visit Pashupati Kalyan Parishad, here are the details:

Address: Pashupati Kalyan Parishad, Behind Choudhary Petrol Pump, Balicha, Udaipur, Rajasthan 313001.

What is a COVID-19 Containment Zone and why is it created?

Containment Zone Udaipur

With the spread of coronavirus infections, one thing that is also rising is the use of the jargons around the COVID-19 related news. One such term is “containment zone”.

Udaipur Administration recently declared the entire city area of Udaipur as a containment zone after the sudden blast of corona cases.

Here’s a quick look at what the term stands for and how are such zones determined in tackling the coronavirus spread.

What is a containment zone?

A COVID-19 containment zone refers to a specific geographical area where positive cases of coronavirus are found.

According to the Ministry of Health, every confirmed COVID-19 case is considered as an epicentre (the residence of the positive case or the place where he was putting up when he was found positive) and micro-plan activities will need to be done.

Containment zones are created to map the local transmission of the disease and prevent the contagion from spreading. They are identified by the Rapid Response Team (RRT) based on the extent of cases listed and mapped by them.

How is a containment zone determined?

Containment zones are earmarked by the states, UTs and district administration.

The perimeters of the containment zone are decided based on the number of positive cases in the area, contact tracing history and population density.

The RRT demarcates the area of 3-kilometre radius around the epicentre if contact listing and mapping take more than 24 hours. This area of 3 km radius is the containment zone.

If required, based on the mapping of contacts and cases, the containment zone is refined.

Guidelines for Containment Zones as per Ministry of Home Affairs (https://www.mha.gov.in)

https://www.mha.gov.in/sites/default/files/MHA%20order%20dt%2015.04.2020%2C%20with%20Revised%20Consolidated%20Guidelines_compressed%20%283%29.pdf

 

Entry and exit of people are severely restricted in this zone except for maintaining essential services (medical emergencies, law and order related duties).

The administration gives a contract to vegetable vendors, milk vendors and some grocery stores for distributing these essentials. These are delivered by the vendors to people the people directly to their home.

Medical screening (fever survey) is conducted and symptomatic persons are transferred to hospitals.

Disinfectant spraying (sanitizing) is to cover the entire area.

The protocol for tracing and quarantining each new positive case to family and primary contacts will be followed.
