Biswas has explored an array of non-visible feelings between humans and animals that bring them together.
For the paintings that will be displayed in the show, Mukhrejee has used raw fabric to demonstrate impeccable imagery of landscapes, forests, rocks, mountains, trees, animals and flowers that is not only poetic but also tends to establish a potent relation between human beings and the nature.

We will recruit local students as animal ambassadors, maintaining the water bowls, and spreading awareness of animal welfare throughout their community.

Arunachala Animal Sanctuary & Rescue Shelter
ABC (Animal Birth Control) Sterilization & Anti-Rabies Program
Arunachala Animal Sanctuary & Rescue Shelter
Next to the Government Art College Chengam Road, Tiruvannamalai
Tamil Nadu, South India 606 603
The objectives are to control population and eliminate rabies in the dog population thereby eliminating almost all rabies deaths in the human population.
Homeless street dogs are captured, sterilized, held six days or more to convalesce, given anti-rabies injections, and returned to their original territories.At some point, which we believe has already been reached, the population will start reducing naturally as the number of deaths exceeds the number of births. With ongoing “maintenance”, it will continue to decrease and stabilize at a much lower level.
We currently do between 80 and 140 Sterilizations/Anti-rabies injections per month. Our ABC dogs have Arnica and Rescue Remedy (both homeopathic substances) included in their drinking water. One facilitates healing and the other helps overcome the stress of being “captured” and whisked away to what at first seems a strange and threatening place.
We provide emergency services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If an animal is injured in the middle of the night, we will pick him up and bring him to the clinic. Our doctors are on call 24 hours a day. And we immediately send a shelter team into the area to give all nearby dogs anti-rabies injections.

Animal Rahat..."RAHAT MEANS RELIEF"
Animal Rahat c/o Ravi Rajan & Co Pvt Ltd
505A, 5th Floor, D-4, Rectangle 1 District Centre, Saket, New Delhi 110 017
Animal Rahat is a unique program that aims to help some of the most neglected animals in the world—the bullocks, donkeys, and other working animals in India.
One of the more common sights in India is that of a bullock trudging along in the heat, straining under a heavy yoke to pull an overloaded, poorly balanced cart. These gentle animals often suffer from dehydration, untreated sores, and muscle strain, and sometimes they are subjected to frequent beatings.
Animal Rahat was founded in 2003 to provide these animals with relief. This lifesaving program now offers services throughout three districts in Maharashtra, one of the largest states in India. Animal Rahat is run by a dedicated staff that includes veterinarians, veterinary assistants, animal caretakers, and a full-time community educator. All of Animal Rahat’s veterinarians are on call for emergencies and advice around the clock, every day of the year.
Your virtual adoption can make a difference in the lives of animals like Pardhanya, a bullock Animal Rahat helped retire to a life of rest, care, and affection after years painfully dragging an overloaded cart of sugarcane down dusty, rutted roads day in and day out.

Wildlife SOS
Learn about their amazing rescue of wild animals, information about any illegal trade in wildlife, poaching of wildlife in India, or about how you can help and participate in their mission.
Wildlife SOS - India D-210, Defence Colony New Delhi, India-110024
SOS was established in 1995 by a small group of individuals inspired to start a movement and make lasting change to protect and conserve India's natural heritage, forests and wildlife wealth. Today, the organization has evolved to actively work towards protecting the Indian wildlife, conserving habitat, studying biodiversity, conducting research and creating alternative and sustainable livelihoods for erstwhile poacher communities.
India's wildlife is under severe threat - every animal from the majestic elephant and the tiger, to the shy sloth bear and rare pangolins have fast become "the hunted". While time is running out for these creatures, it's not too late to help.
Although Wildlife SOS is mainly known for our work with 'dancing bears' we also have active projects to help leopards, elephants, reptiles and other animals. We also work on various projects targeted at environment and biodiversity conservation, as well as, reducing our carbon footprint.
We believe in working with organizations and individuals that share our philosophy. Wildlife SOS has formal 'co-operative' agreements in place with state governments and forest departments in more than nine states in India. Wildlife SOS is a registered Non Profit Charity in India, USA and UK.* All funds donated to Wildlife SOS are transferred to India and are used for wildlife and environment protection, rescue and conservation projects.
Here are just a few things we plan to do:
Double the number of elephants we are helping
Strengthen legal protection for elephants
Open up a second elephant rescue center that will help captive and wild elephants
Lead the way for improving the humane treatment of India's captive elephants
Monitor elephants in circuses and work strategically to remove them.

Primate Trust India
Rescuing , providing long term care to orphaned, abused and injured monkeys.
The Tree House Near Church, Camurlim Mapusa, Goa 403507
This Indian based charity was founded by Jo and John Hicks who have been at the forefront of animal welfare for over 40 years. Primate Trust India, a charity that rescues and provides long term care to orphaned, abused and injured monkeys.
The primate trust is about 30 mins drive from Assagao at Camurlim.
Their remarkable story can be read completely on their website. John was born in the UK in 1951 and served 5 years in the British Royal Army Veterinary Corps. Jo and John visited Goa on a cheap package holiday and were so horrified at the condition of the dogs they returned to set up International Animal Rescue Goa which is now recognised by the Animal Welfare Board of India as one of the country's leading animal welfare organisations.
After many years of working with Primates John is now considered one of the leading Primate experts in India by the Animal Welfare Board of India. He spends a great deal of time advising sanctuaries, zoos and Forestry Departments on the welfare of Primates.
Because of Jo and John's commitment to Primates they started Primate Trust India. Until sufficient funds are raised Jo and John will continue to run the Tree House in Goa as a temporary rescue Centre for the Primates.
Funds are needed now for repairs and improvements to enclosures, the monkey?s food bills and staff salaries. In addition we need to build up a financial reserve to pay for the purchase of land for the new Primate Rescue, Rehabilitation and Study Centre.

Adopt an All Indian Dog or Cat VSPCA Adoption Program
VSPCA
26-15-200 Main Road @ Visakhapatnam Andhra Pradesh, India, 530-001
For those living in and around Visakhapatnam and interested in taking care of our lovely animals, please contact us about our adoption program.
As more people in India get “pets” or companion animals, one of our aims is to avoid the same problems that the western countries have been battling for over 100 years. That of unwanted pets having to be euthanized. We do not want a throwaway society for our beloved animals but need the public’s help to adopt a pet rather than buy one from a pet shop.
Our animal shelter frequently has purebred pets needing adoption but please consider a mixed breed/all India dog. Mixed breed have less health problems. Consider even adopting a fully grown dog or cat rather than just a puppy or kitten and you can also know the personality first and make sure the pet is a match for your family situation.
Not every one has the time to raise a puppy or kitten and giving a home to a abandoned pet will give much satisfaction to you and the pet.

Project Tiger
National Tiger Conservation Authority, B-1 WIng, 7th Floor, Paryavaran Bhawan, CGO Complex New Delhi 110003
The Government of India has taken a pioneering initiative for conserving its national animal, the tiger, by launching the ‘Project Tiger’ in 1973. From 9 tiger reserves since its formative years, the Project Tiger coverage has increased to 47 at present, spread out in 18 of our tiger range states. This amounts to around 2.08% of the geographical area of our country. The tiger reserves are constituted on a core/buffer strategy.
The core areas have the legal status of a national park or a sanctuary, whereas the buffer or peripheral areas are a mix of forest and non-forest land, managed as a multiple use area. The Project Tiger aims to foster an exclusive tiger agenda in the core areas of tiger reserves, with an inclusive people oriented agenda in the buffer. Visit http://projecttiger.nic.in/Index.aspx
