Animal Welfare
Animal Welfare
Animals have as much claim to the world as humans. The relentless development of humanity has, unfortunately, often overlooked the needs of our fellow living things.
Ekata Manch endeavours to look after the needs of all animals that are left by themselves to defend against the forces of nature. Medical needs, food, and shelter for stray dogs, cats and cattle are on the forefront of Ekata Manch’s initiatives for animal welfare.
