Anil Agarwal Foundation – New Launch

“The Anil Agarwal Foundation has launched out a Rs. 5000 Crore socio-economic development roadmap for the next 5 years for the holistic development of rural India and Animal Welfare is one of the new emphasis areas for us under this roadmap”, she added.

Under the new initiative TACO, Anil Agarwal Foundation seeks to support and expand veterinary healthcare services across Delhi-NCR and Mumbai regions. With an initial capital of Rs. 100 crores, the project will begin in the National Capital Region (NCR) and would be expanded across numerous Indian states.

TACO will be a three-tiered framework that will work together to establish worldwide animal welfare standards.

Advanced animal healthcare, preventative veterinary treatment, the spay and neuter programme, diagnostics, and mobile emergency care units will be the focus of the proposed multi-specialty veterinary hospital. The Animal Shelter will focus on rescue, rehabilitation, geriatric and palliative care, animal housing services, nutrition, and well-being, while the Academy will offer short-term training to veterinarians, paraprofessionals, and animal enthusiasts.
