The Charity Veterinary Hospital - under the aegis of the Animal Friends Trust, is a realization of a dream.
An ardent animal lover, Anurag once dreamt of providing life-saving facilities to the homeless creatures, which would never fetch attention otherwise. Duly supported by his family, the Charity Veterinary Hospital is an initiative and Bikaner now boasts the first of its kind of hospital for animal welfare both - homeless and domestic, large and small.

This is first of its kind of hospital in the state of Rajasthan where homeless and domestic, large and small animals are treated free of cost.

The future plan of the trust is to organize clinical camps in remote rural areas where such facilities are not available to treat animals. The trust will also form a network of similar organizations to help organize such camps so that the animal health care could be brought to the attention of the people.
