Dear All,

The Animal Welfare Group at IIT Kharagpur is going to organize an anti-rabies vaccination drive for the stray animals residing on our campus. The inauguration event is scheduled for tomorrow (17th of September 2023), at the Gymkhana foyer, commencing at 11 am.

CALL FOR DONATION
Since February 2023, we have lost more than 15 dogs across our IIT-Kharagpur campus to Canine Distemper and Parvo. Some succumbed after prolonged treatment while few others could not be attended to on time. As a wake-up call, we looked for best deals on the DHPPi vaccine available in the region. We could secure them for INR 230 per vaccine. We have received the first batch of vaccines and SNVH, Academic Area, MMM, MT, etc have been covered while other areas are being covered every evening. We have over 100 dogs in our list already and have to vaccinate every additional dog found inside campus. In addition to vaccine, all dogs are necessarily being administered with liver tonic and then dewormed. Then there are 16 dogs in MMM who are on meds for preliminary-mild symptoms of CD. Momma doggy of SupDup is paralysed from CD and under active treatment through IV. One dog at SNVH will be put on chemo soon as well.
All of it is made possible through donations received from members of the campus community. To continue our efforts to vaccinate, feed, treat and care for our animals, we have to raise more money. Hence, the call for donations via this medium, with the hope to reach out to more persons.
Any amount you would like to donate can be sent via GPay to 9435510628. This account belongs to one of our student members and is being managed by 3 of us. Receipt and expenditure are updated in a MS-Excel sheet everyday and is shared weekly.

Love, compassion and fur-filled fun! Animal Welfare, IIT Kgp, organized an unforgettable event on 14th March, bringing together animal lovers from all over KGP campus. The Human-Animal Relationship Awareness Initiative was a grand celebration of the bond between humans and domestic animals, highlighting the emotional, psychological and physical interactions that have existed for thousands of years.

Our lovely furry friends Kuku, Shibu, Coco, Bruno, Hancock, Simba and Choco, the stars of the evening, stole our hearts with their adorable poses during the photoshoot. The event featured a wide range of activities, from poster presentations on ongoing sterilization and vaccination drives for stray animals to panel discussions on adopting strays. Our guests of honor, including Prof. Koel Chowdhury (Associate Dean SA), Prof. Sudheshna Koley, Mrs. Mitali Banerjee, and Dr. Prasanta Kumar Sannigrahi (Head of B.C.Roy Technology Hospital) graced the occasion with their presence and shared their invaluable insights and words of love, kindness and affection for stray animals.

The enthusiastic youths of the Animal Welfare Group made the whole event a grand success, spreading a bag of happiness to all the participants.Thanks a lot to Click Kgp and everyone who helped for capturing all these beautiful moments and making them last forever.

Dear all, two friends of our animal welfare community found 3 abandoned kittens. They both are fostering them at the moment. But with so many dogs in the campus, it is very difficult to keep them safe. If you know anyone who will be able to help the kittens and adopt them, please let us know. Even if there is any safe place where they can be relocated and fed, it will be really helpful. In case you don't,kindly spread the word. These kittens are in urgent need for adoption.

We assume he was someone's pet.
If anyone knows this dog please inform. Otherwise just circulate the video.

Hope you all are doing well in these testing times. The second wave of COVID-19 has hit us hard precisely at the time when we were hoping for the nightmare to finally conclude.

As many of you might be aware, Animal Welfare Group, formed by some animal loving faculties ,their families , staff members and students from our campus, is actively feeding campus stray animals tirelessly from 21st June , 2020. It has been a humongous effort by every member of the team to bring a smile to the faces of our voiceless friends out there. We are extremely grateful to our members who helped us continuously for the last 10 months with every kind of support we needed.
Right now, we are facing a huge shortage of fund as we are forcefully extending this project beyond the timeline we expected. Currently the program requires INR 3000 per day to feed all the campus strays two times a day. A small contribution from your end can mean a lot to us.

Hello everyone,

This is an urgent communication about our furry friends on campus. We have been trying and feeding them from 21st June, 2020. It has been great journey altogether, watching them wag their tails when the feeding van reached them made our day beautiful. It was the excellent support that we got from the community , that helped us help our best friends in campus.
But now we are completely running out of funds. We need your help to feed them , they are waiting for food everyday at noon. The lockdown in campus has made them completely dependent on us.
We would like to thank Dr. Seema Singh for taking care of the dinner of our friends. Now we are able to feed them twice in a day.
Please help us by sharing this among your peers and please donate as much as you can.

Henlo hoomans,

When we heard our hoomans are leaving the campus due to lockdown ,we got scared because there would be no food and no one to play with us or to take care of us but you all made our fear go away by donating to Project Annapoorna. The awesome faculty and staff members , their friends and family, our student friends are taking great care of us. We are getting yummy food now but we heard that our friends are running out of money real fast. We are totally dependent on your donation for our food .Please donate as much as you can and don't worry about your hostel rooms, we will be guarding them in your absence. Friends we are already missing you in campus hope you return soon so we could have fun together.
