Paarijaat, a grassroot level NGO, has been working on various social causes and issues concerning the environment.
Paarijaat, has opened an animal shelter as it was felt that there still is a lot of work to be carried out for animal welfare. The condition of street dogs is pathetic in our country. Many argue that there are people who live in conditions far worse than animals; however where we have countless government and non government agencies working in the field of human welfare, there is a serious shortage of organisations that work in the field of animal welfare and despite commendable efforts of the organisations working for animal welfare, there still is a lot of work to be done in this area.
OUR AIMS
Paarijaat, is making a small beginning by opening its animal shelter at Sangam Vihar, New Delhi.

Our immediate aim is as follows:-

1.     The shelter has 4 kennels, where injured dogs and ill dogs can be brought in for treatment. 
2.     Rescue abused animals and animals that have been abandoned by their owners.
3.     Prevent cruelty towards animals.
4.     Starting an ambulance service to pick up dogs that have met with an accident and ill animals.
5.     Organising awareness camps, educating people and sensitising them towards animals.
6.     Work towards abolishment of use of animals in laboratories for experiments.
7.    At present, Paarijaat is feeding and taking care of 50 stray dogs in the vicinity, we aim to increase this number soon.
